Hill 1


Hill 1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took all of these on the weekend trip to DC. It was on 5.10.2008 I loved the way that this hill looked with the clouds and sky. I think that it turned out very nicely in the format that i shot it in.

I don't know their names but only that they died for our country in some form of fashion during some war that was fought...

A Cross...


A Cross..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

May 2008
I took this at Arlington National Cemetery on my trip to Washington DC last weekend. Single Cross on a hill. I saw this lonely cross on the hill with the blue sky and wondered who he was and what he died for.

What war was he in? How did he get such a big and profound gravestone? ? I thought that the black and white photo would bring out the texture. It also makes you wonder what it looked like in color. Death is not color; this photo is black and white. Death is not colorful, but kind of gray like this photo…

This was taken at Arlington National Cemetery on my trip to Washington DC last weekend. A Hill with 3 Crosses. Who were all of these people that made the supreme sacrifice by giving their lives for our country?

Grave Rows 2


Grave Rows 2, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took all of these on the weekend trip to DC. It was on 5.10.2008 I thought that this was a very hard photo to take because of the great contrast between the light, dark, tombstones, and clouds. The grass and trees were all very green and had a stark contrast with the grave stones.

I don't know their names but only that they died for our country in some form or fashion during some war that was fought...

Emergence....


Emergence...., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Lake Sam Rayburn taken with the Sony 18-70mm Lens in 16:9 Aspect Ratio off of RR255 facing Northwest.

It looks like a very big eye opening after a nap and hoping to see some bright skies...

This is the tail end of a cold front that came through our area yesterday. You can see the last remaining clouds separating the cool air that is on its way to our area and the warmer air being pushed south. As they say the front is blowing through our area and we will have clear skies with much cooler temperatures tomorrow...

This photo reminds me of Fall. The brown plants and the orange Sun on the water and sky looks like cooler weather to me.

Angelina River Sunset 1.7 is a companion to 1.8. I was able to achieve the deep tones and textures in Black and White using a Center-Weighted Average Metering mode for this photo as well. Also using a little Depth Of Field to get the focus on the plants and not the water.

Sunset & River Through Glass...

Taken below Lake Sam Rayburn Dam in 16:9 Aspect Ratio using the Sony 18-70mm Lens at the forks of The Angelina River.

I focused on the windshield of my truck to get this effect. You can see the littl specs of stuff on the glass. It is funny that the world does not look blurry like this photo. Our eyes are amazing things...

More fun using Depth Of Field to get the bushes in sharp focus and the river and sunset blurry. Amazing Sunset on the river this evening.
