I love how the light catches the lighter colors on this rose and reflectes it back. I think that i used a-1 on the flash brightness. This photo is very detailed as you can see the whiskers on the stem and the textures of the petals.

To me, this photo is almost perfect. I love the textures and shading on the rose/ I used the flash for this photo at a -2 setting where it would not be blown out. The background is all blurred out and it looks like it is ready for a print to be made or a card. The Black&White really made this rose look amazing.

You can see the blurry red spot behind the main rose is another bloom that is really out of focus. The photo has really great Bokeh in it. The flash was tuned down -2 and i love how it gave the bloom an almost glowing effect.

Bougainvillea Macro


Bougainvillea Macro, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was taken using my Schneider-Kreuznach Componon 40mm f/4 Lens that i use as a Do It Yourself Macro lens. This is a perfect Macro of the delicate flower on a Bogan Via that we have at home. I love the vignetting that occurred around the photo because of the difference in Apertures and sizes in the lenses. I did not use a flash for this series of photos. This turned out to be one of the best ones in the set.

Lake Sam Rayburn on a Cloud Free Fall day. I used a Circular Polarizer on this set of photos as well as shooting them in a 16:9 Aspect Ratio using the Sony 18-70mm Lens in Black and White.

The testures from the B&W photo and the use of the Circular Polarizer are just amazing! It almost looks like a dry lake bed instead of water.

Fog on Lake!

Sandy Creek Park 1.1


Sandy Creek Park 1.1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Sandy Creek Park off of Main Street in Jasper Texas. Taken using the Sony 18-70mm Lens in a 16:9 Aspect Ratio at different lengths of time. I used the Opteka Timer Remote Control and a Tri-Pod to take the photos. I used an "On The Fly" Custom White Balance on this set of photo to cut out the Orange glow from the High Pressure Sodium Lighting that is used in this park. It is the first time that i have ever done this. I was very impressed with the results.

This photo was taken with the 2500k G3 Custom White Balance settings but in Spot Metering Mode. Just trying out different settings with the camera. I did not use a White Card to calibrate the camera to get the custom color setting. I just pointed it out into the night and i got the setting.
