A carrier is not really a dreadnought, which is a battleship; but who could resist that word?

DSC08987: Lines and Angles

DSC08987: Lines and Angles, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is a photo of the exterior of the church. My main focus of this photo was the sky and how it is broken up by the angles and lines of the structure of the church. The white low roof line that is through most of the photo and then the main sanctuary and the shingles of the roof and how it sweeps up to the sky. I used a high f/-stop to give a good depth of field to this photo. I love the lone tree that stands above the main entrance to the church. The building was built in 1970.

Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/10
Focal Length: 50 mm

DSC09024: Blue Light..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is perhaps my favorite photo that i took in the church sanctuary today. I was able to be let in to get some photos while i was there helping sell pumpkins. The lighting was all turned off and i placed my camera in BULB mode so i had total control ov it. I love the blue light that is spilling into the dark seating area with just a glimpse of the stained glass that is i the triangular windows.

Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10)

DSC08949: The Dance

DSC08949: The Dance, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is my second attempt at taking a "portrait" type photograph. I did several in color which i was not very happy with, and more in B/W on Saturday of my daughter and her friend.

It was "Homecoming" dance night in our town so we made our daughter suffer through several photograph of her and her friend.

She suffered and complained but i took many photos of her because me and the wife wanted to and it was good practice for me.

I think that this is an incredible photo of her and i really love the way it turned out. I used the Minolta 35-105 for this photo and a "Back Flash" for the photo outside.

DSC08826: Split Personna 1.1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is a wider view of the field located off of Millburn School road close to HWY 159. The urban scenery and the rural setting makes for a very stark contrast that we do not live in a very big world anymore.

DSC08838: Soybean, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is of a Soybean that is ready for harvest. I had never seen what they looked like in nature. They do not look like much. If i did not know better, i would have said that they look like a dried weed near the ditch i had to cross to get this photo.

Vacant Field...

Vacant Field..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

As i was driving home on Millburn School Road today i saw a field that i have driven by many times. I looked and just happened to have my camera today so i got out and took several photos. I then decided to take a series going from left to right to make this panorama creation. To me, this photo symbolizes the Autumn is upon us.

I used my Minolta 35-105mm lens to take the initial series of photos. I could have cropped the photo to give it nice straight lines but i wanted for people to get the whole photo, not just a portion of it. So many photos that we look at are nice and neat, cropped to *perfection* and processed to the Nth degree. I wanted people to feel the rawness of this photo and also the beauty of it!
