Forrest 1.2, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Taken in the Angelina National Forrest off of HWY 63 West in 16:9 Aspect Ratio using the Sony 18-70mm Lens after about 3 inches of rain today. You can see the foliage starting to change.

It was raining while i was taking this photo. I have driven by this several times and wanted to take photos, today was the day. You can see Forrest Ferns and other foliage starting to change colors due to the Autumn Season approaching. It was very cool and wet with a temp of 56 DegF which is very cool for this early in the season in SE Texas.

Rattlesnake Island, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Lake Sam Rayburn facing North with strong wing and blowing rain. You can see the "White Caps" on the water from the wind blowing. Taken in 16:9 Aspect Ratio using the Quantaray 70-300mm Tele-Macro Lens

Pictured in the center is Rattlesnake Island. Look at the waves, There was a strong North Wind blowing and rain as well. The temp was about 56 DegF, cool and blustery weather for Se Texas. I would not want to be out on the lake during this king of weather.

DSC06171: Work 2.4


DSC06171: Work 2.4, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I think that this photo is perhaps even better than the Work 2.7 photo. The color and lighting is brilliant on this photo. The bright arc is not overpowering any of the photo and you can see the orange glow of the lights in the metal shot reflecting on the metal to the left of the weld. The orange glow on the inside of the pipe si from the hot metal penetrating the pipe and welding it together.

Exposure: 0.067 sec (1/15)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 60 mm
ISO Speed: 400

MIG Welding: A Close Up


MIG Welding: A Close Up, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Where as this is not a "macro" photo, it is a close up photo of a craftsman using a MIG welding gun to finish fabricating the metal together. I love the little sparks flying all over the place and the smoke rising out from in between the two pieces of metal. The bright arc lights up the interior of the item so he can see what he is welding through his helmet. You can see marks and scars on the table from many years of work being done on it.

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/5.6

Sandy Creek Park 1.5, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Sandy Creek Park located on Marvin Hancock Drive and stretching over to Main Street in Jasper Texas. Shot in 16:9 Aspect Ratio with the Sony 18-70mm lens.

I like the reflection in the water of the trees and sky. We had over 5 inches of rain on Thursday and this water is some left over.

Sandy Creek Park 1.2, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Sandy Creek Park located on Marvin Hancock Drive and stretching over to Main Street in Jasper Texas. Shot in 16:9 Aspect Ratio.

I love the contrast in the light and dark shadows in the photo. The sky was very blue with no clouds in the sky. It was sort of a hard photo to get in those conditions. The park is very nice looking and it was a pleasant day for a walk and some photo opportunities.

Light and Dark...


Light and Dark..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this photo after just two weeks of owning my Sony A200.

This was taken in the Historic Courthouse In St Louis. I thought that it was neat with the contrasting light and darkness as well as the staircase was wrought iron. It really made me think about the history behind the stairwell and i wondered who might have walked up and down it. This picture turned out much better than it should have considering that i only had the camera about 2 weeks at that point.

Next in The lake series from today. This photo was taken shooting almost due North. Over on the right side of the photo, you can almost make out Rattlesnake Island and the Little Island as well. Again, this is a Full Color photo, not Monochromatic as it looks. It was also taken in 16:9 format.

Driving home after class tonight i saw the lake look strange. This is a color photo but it looks Monochromatic, like a Black and White photo. The way i am looking is to the North West towards Lufkin Texas and the HWY 143 Bridge. I just thought that it was a neat look to be shot in 16:9 as well.
