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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was not sure that i wanted to post this photo. I did no post processing of it, only adjustments to the Sony a200. The contrast is really high between the light and shadows cast on the water by the trees.
