Round Hay Bails

Round Hay Bails, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Taken in 16:9 Aspect Ratio.

I noticed this field on the north side of Zavalla Texas on HWY 69 North when i was going to school today. I drove by it on my way home and then did a U-Turn in the road and went back to get a few photos of the place. This is the best one that i like the most of the set. I like the serenity of the photo, the calm of the sky and the openness of it all.

Taken off the side of the road on HWY 63 East just 3-5 miles out of Zavalla Texas. I love the bright greens and colors in the trees. I tweaked some settings on my camera to get it to take a pic with this color range. I love the light in the tops of the trees from the setting sun.

Another photo of the old Pig Stand in Beaumont Texas. I bet this place was really fun to go to at night when it was open. It is from a bi gone era, like the tv show "Happy Days" A calm, more simpler time,something that we will never see again...

Here is a link to a color night photo of the pig stand.

Wednesday Evening Sunset on Lake Sam Rayburn.

I was on my way home from class on Wednesday evening and i saw a great sunset close to the dam. I had my camera with me and have it with me most of the time when i travel now. I love the reflection on the water from the sun and clouds with the different deep tones.

"Center Weighted" Metering Mode using the Minolta 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Lens

I was driving East on FMR255 and looked over and saw some interesting lighting in the trees. I stopped and took out my cam and switched to B&W mode and took a series of shots of the trees with the light in the foreground. They really did not come out like i wanted them to. The contrast was not as great as i would have liked it to be.
