Something to think about ....Please Read.

 

 

America, Canada , all Europe ..... Needs a President like this    Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.  Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.  Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians'.  'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'. 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'  'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'  'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'  'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,  'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.' 'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'  Maybe if we circulate this , American citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths. If you agree, please SEND THIS ON.

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

This was taken during the same time period as the bird. It was about 12.45pm with the Sun still overhead and no clouds. This was another hard photo to take because of the conditions. There is not much contrast in the photo except from the shadow on the left of the photo. I like it and it was very fun to take in Black and White.

I love the Black Bird on the white painted cement. I was following the bird walking on the hand rail. I was about 7 feet away from him and then he flew above me to the white cement. He walked along it for a while and then took off. It was a hard photo to take due to the lighting conditions, no clouds, no shade and about 12.30pm with Sun overhead.

4th Of July!! Lake Sam Rayburn Texas: Rattlesnake Island!!!

Another in the Sunset Series.
Later on in the evening, more boats have gone...
I love how the bodies are in silhouette against the water and the deep tones i achieved using a "Center Weighted" metering mode for this photo.
It lets you know that the night is just about upon the people left on the island and the wonderment of what is to come later...

Evening Flash Photography 1.0, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Evening time using the F58AM Flash on TTL Mode with the Omin-Bounce 580 Diffuser shooting with the Minolta 35-105mm Lens in TTL Mode.

I think that this is perhaps one of the best "Still Life" photos that i have taken in a long time. The colors are captured nicely by the diffused flash.
