Snow Covered Sunrise...

Snow Covered Sunrise..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

With the hint of civilization in the background and a little fog at 7.15am this morning, i saw this beautiful sunrise over the snow covered field. It took my breath away so i had to get several photos this morning of it. I love the blurriness of the photo because of the fog in the air and the sun's reflection on the snow.

It looks as if he is working on a magic potion or a doorway into another dimension is opening up and it is going to suck him into it. I love the rays of light from the welding process shinning in the air diffused by the smoke and his body parts.

DSC06661: Just Waiting..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was taken on my way to work this morning. I have been looking at it for a few weeks and wanting to take a few photos of it. I love the desolation that it implies. The equipment is waiting on an empty field, waiting to be used during the proper season. Now it sits, cold and alone, just waiting...

I took this photo of a chair on our patio. I liked the look of it in Blacka nd White. I used the F58AM flash with the Omin-Bounce 580 diffuser on this photo as well. I took it at a strange angle to get it all in the photo. I used the 35-105mm lens to take this photol.

I was using my 70-300mm lens. I had the F58am flash with an Omin-Bounce 58 Diffuser on it. The a200 was in "Portrait" Mode. I was bored so i had been wanting to try this shot for a while. I like this because it is kind of a spooky photo.

This is another plant in the series that i took yesterday. It is located at a park that had a fountain and the wind blew the water onto the plants and coated them with ice. I really liked the looks of the bush so i took a series with two different lenses. This was taken with my Minolta 35-105mm lens.

Do It Yourself Rain Gear!

How to make your own rain cover for free!

As seen on the Digital Camera website.

Being caught out in the field when the heavens open isn't good for camera gear. Fear not, keep a clear plastic bag handy and follow our guide to help you carry on shooting when the heavens open.

1. Bag it Take off your lens hood and place the bag over the lens so that a corner covers it and makes a cone shape.	2. Cut it Keeping the bag taut, use your fingernail to rub the edge of the bag so it cuts it perfectly to the lens shape.	3. Hood up Refit your lens hood taking care to make sure the bag doesn’t move and cover any part of the front element.
4. Eye eye All SLR cameras have a removeable eye-cup. Take it off and pull the bag over it so the open end faces down.	5. Manhandle Pinch or tear a small hole using your fingernail and pull it tight so it sits snugly around the eye-cup surround.	6. Refit Place the eye-cup back over the mount so the bag sits in between the camera body and the eye-cup. Done!
