Night Sky November 17, 2009

Night Sky November 17, 2009, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

The photo secession was taken at a place around Lake Sam Rayburn on the road to the new State Fish Hatchery. We like to call it “Little Tunguska” because of the look the environment has. The area has no lights or ambient light from the surrounding area. While were out, we saw 25 of the Leonoid Meteorites in the night sky.

It was taken using the Sony 18-70mm Lens and made using the program called Startrails. I took 64 different photos that were 45 seconds long at ISO800. The focal length was 18mm at f/3.5 from 10.39pm to 11.09pm CST facing the North Western Sky. I used the Opetka Programmable Wired Shutter Release to accomplish this photography set . This photo is the equivalent of a 48 minuet timed exposure.

Taken with the "Sony 18-70mm"

Often called the "Super Bridge," the Clark Bridge links Highways 367 and 67 in Missouri to Alton, Illinois. It replaced the old Clark Bridge that served the area from 1928 to 1994. Design work on the new cable-stayed bridge was started in 1985, and construction began in 1990.

The bridge, which has four traffic lanes and two bike lanes, spans 4,260 feet across the Mississippi River. It is made of 8,100 tons of structural steel, 44,100 cubic yards of concrete and more than 160 miles of cable wrapped with four acres of yellow plastic piping. Pilings that support the bridge were driven more than 140 feet below bedrock.

Design criteria based on wind testing and geological studies were used to help make the bridge earthquake resistant. Total cost of the bridge was 118 million dollars, including the demolition of the old bridge.

I love this photo but i want to go back and do it from another angle. The colors and the night sky are just wonderful. The red hue is from the big sign on it.

Mushroom Walk 11-14-2009, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

All photos taken today were taken using the Quantaray 70-300mm Tele-Macro lens. The Mushroom Walk was held in the Big Thicket National Preserve (BTNP) on Saturday, November 14, 2009. We left the Big Thicket Field Research Station (FRS) located in Saratoga, Texas s on the west side of FM 770 in the small town and it is marked with a brown, Park Service sign.

We went into the nearby Lance Rosier Unit of the BTNP, and collected and recorded species. This activity is part of the BTNP All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI). The collections will be displayed, identified, and dried for deposit in an herbarium. The mushroom walk will be lead by President David Lewis (http://www.lamar.edu/newsevents/cc/461_3243.htm), who is also the ATBI Taxonomic Working Group (TWIG) leader. Jay Justice, a mycologist from Arkansas, was also present for this event.
