My new Canon R5 Mark II mirrorless camera is quite an improvement over my Canon 5D Mark III DSLR. The 5DIII was released 13 years ago and I bought mine a year later. Oh my, how things have changed. It’s like trading-in the family minivan for a sports car. There are a few, very minor…
“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.

I’ve got a new job! I’m going to be a Barista! Pretty exciting isn’t it? No, I’m not serving coffee at one of those fancy-schmanzy over-priced coffee places. Instead, I’ll be serving up great BNW architectural photos starting the week of February 24th at The BNW Bistro on Vero. The BNW Bistro, The Espresso of…
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…
