Bloom 1.0

Bloom 1.0, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Taken With The Minolta 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Lens.

I am not sure what kind of tree that this came from.

I saw this bloom on a tree as i was driving around O Fallon yesterday morning. I turned my truck around to go and look. This is what i saw...
I love the flower against the sky with the limbs framing it and how the sun illuminates the bloom dramatically against it.

I took this today of the Netgear Router and the Thermometer silhouetted be the ambient light from the blinds. I think that it makes a dramatic photo. The way the blinds reflect on the router and the way they are bent from being view through the glass and liquid. I wanted them to be very sharp so i used good f/stop number to get the desired Depth Of Field for the photo.

I have taken this photo before several times. I love the way the light spills through the blinded window and the dark negative space to the left of the lava lamp. I used a high f/stop number to get the sharpness that i desired for the Depth Of Field in this photo as well. Some people do not like the pole in the photo but i do as i think it helps break the photo up. The ambient light is very soft coming through the lamp.

This is just a strange assortment of stainless steel items that i have collected over the years. The round pieces are from different size "ball valves". The curly piece is from a pump that broke at a place i worked at many years ago and the other straight rod i got on a job years ago. I used the built in flash for this photo and my 70-300mm lens.
