“How Did They Do That?” (HDTDT) is the second video offering from The BNW Bistro on Vero. This will be a series featuring guest artists discussing a photo and how they went from seeing the scene to getting the final image. I’m pleased to say I was selected to be the guest artist on the…
Getting the most out of your camera is something that everyone with a DSLR or mirrorless camera strives for. These cameras are technological marvels. They can do amazing things. However, they do have limitations. The trick is to learn to fully utilize your camera’s full dynamic range and get as much detail at the extremes…
My photo, Structured Flow is a result of mining the recent archives for photos where I didn’t initially see their potential and came across this photo from Prague. It’s an architectural abstract of a modern building in Wenceslas Square. I really like hos the architectural accents create a beautiful flow to the design. I had…
Well, I’ve switched from a DSLR to a mirrorless camera. That’s right after all these years I’ve finally done it. It was never a case of not wanting to learn a new technology or anything like that at all. Rather, for most of this time there’s never been a compelling benefit to me in making…

Just a quick post about my “Twisted and Tangled” live oak tree photo. It’s actually a photo I took about a year ago and I just noticed it recently. I probably missed it because it is similar to other photos from that trip. This was a photo road trip with 3 friends down to the…
“Odds and Ends” is a good description for the last of my photos from Prague and Vienna. Wait, what’s that noise? It sounds like applause and cheering. Hmmm. Nonetheless, here are a few odds and ends shots that I like that I didn’t feel the need for specific blog posts. That, plus it’s time to…
