I was taking a series of Sunset photos while i was in the boat and waiting for it to be loaded. I was doing some color photos using the Minolta 35-105mm Lens and using a "Center Weighted Average" Metering Mode. I decided to go and switch to Black and White mode and was like WoW!! I love the textures and skyscape They photos have an HDR quality to them.

Cant Go Back To Sleep...
RMStringer
manic street preachers--if you tolerate this
What a powerful song!!
The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists
Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain
Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas
But not with real intent
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
David Bowie - Thursdays child
I can relate to this song and i always have been able to. "the song's about a guy living with a girl he doesn't love, same point from the girl, they're trying to work it out but things remain the same."

Busted and Cracked
Roger's Junkyard on HWY 96 North
I truly like this photo fro a number of reason. I love the glass and the different shades of color on it, the way the clouds are reflected at the bottom and the way the crack spreads out almost all over the entire photograph. I wonder what hit it and broke it this way? It is neat to look through the glass and see the binder clip to the far upper right of the photo.

Lightening Storm south of Lake Sam Rayburn. Taken from FMR 255.
We had a very big weather system just miss the lakes area last night. I was able to point my camera South West and get some AMAZING lightening shots like this. No cloud to ground stuff, just mainly in the clouds. It was a great show that i got to witness. Watching a vulgar display of power like this makes me feel very small...

Rust & Paint
Roger's Junkyard on HWY 96 North
Taken using the Minolta 35-105mm Lens. I love the rust and peeling paint with the different fading colors and textures. I just wonder how many years this truck was ran and was a useful piece of equipment. How much money did the owner pay for it and then make with it. Why did it end up in Jasper? This photo is from the old B-75 Mack Truck.

Dead City...
Shot at location around Beaumont Texas.
Shot in the intersection of Crockett and Orleans Streets in Downtown Beaumont Texas. I was in the street for about 20 minutes and never had to move my Tripod once due to traffic. This was a hard shot to get because of the street lighting.
The building to the left with red brick is the old Haunted Hotel. It used to be a very scary haunted house. What a shame to have moved it from the down town area.

Green Spider!!
I used my Componon to take this Macro photo. I was out looking at roses that were blooming and i just happened to see the green spider on it. I got the focus correct for my "Do It Yourself" Macro lens and this is what i got!! He was not really that big and i was like about 8-10 inches from him.
With the Componon sitting on the top of the kit lens, i can only adjust the main focal length to get somewhere close to the correct focal point. Then have to back up a little to bring it in to clear focus. It has a very shallow DOF when using this lens. When i place the 18-70mm lens somewhere around the 40mm mark i get the best clarity and focus.

Taken All Around Houston Texas on Friday Night, August 14, 2009.
Reflecting Pool at Herman Park. This was a 59 second exposure of the Reflecting pool. I love how the light just POPS!! It is, in my opinion, right at the edge of being over exposed. I used the 18-70mm Kit lens and the wireless shutter release in BULB mode. I use a very low ISO for this long exposure.

50mm f/1.7 1.6: Sirius Receiver
I was just messing around using the Minolta 50mm lens taking random shots in the dark with it. I have the camera in BULB mode and i was about 18 inches from the Sirius Unit. It was total darkness in my room. The lens is just amazing in almost no light. I do not use it enough, I should though. It has superb photo characteristics.

Baja Boat Sunset
29th Reunion at Rattlesnake Island, Lake Sam Rayburn Texas.
This is a photo that i took of my friends boat late Sunday evening. His name is Wess Jackson and he is from Dickenson. His boat is a 28 foot Baja. He asked me to take a few of his boat in the sunset on the water. I was more than happy to oblige him in this little endeavor I love how the boat is in silhouette with the dark water and the dramatic sky and clouds...
