Trio of Crosses
had to run home from our church and i always look at the 3 crosses that are located at a church close to our home. I look to see the different light settings on them as i love their position against the sky and landscape.
The sky was very beautiful this evening and i was bringing my camera home so i got out and took this photo with the evening sky as the backdrop. I hope that you love it as much as i do.

Mack: Great Work -- Now Go Away
Many Thanks to Mac Hall for letting me place this on my website.
Great Work – Now Go Away
Last fall a Navy commando unit in a brilliant operation captured a notorious terrorist alive. Alive. But the terrorist later said that the sailors socked him during the confrontation and gave him a fat lip, and now the sailors are being court-martialed. So will the Japanese government now sue World War II veterans for hurting Generalissimo Tojo’s feelings? Will Grandpa be yanked off his rocking chair and sent to jail because he once said something rude about Adolf Hitler during the
More recently a police officer in a city far, far away was suspended with pay after he fired his pistol at a man who was threatening people, including the officer, with a knife. In such matters one would think that the suspension would be for the sake of the officer, for a good man does come away from such a matter the same man who went into it. But the matter always seems to project as a suspicion of the officer, and the dreary electronic comments from the sort of people who take their ideology from street corners and their grammar from twitting
The concept of suspending someone for doing his job does not obtain in most vocations. One does not imagine the head of surgery saying “Doctor Snorthbargle, you were simply brilliant today in saving the life of that emergency patient. You’re suspended until the medical board investigates you. Now go away.”
The supermarket manager does not call for an inquiry on little Siegfried the sack boy because the customers compliment him for his good work.
When a team wins a football game they are not sent home while a court determines whether or not they acted wisely in doing so.
Consider the possibility of a police officer observing a citizen driving carefully, following all state and local laws while operating a safe and well-maintained motor vehicle. The officer arrests the citizen and brings him before a justice of the peace who rules: “Citizen Jones, you were seen driving in a prudent fashion. Your license is suspended while I refer your case to the grand jury. I am impounding your car. You may have one telephone call to send for someone to come and get you. You might want to tell that friend or relative to drive irresponsibly unless he too wants the full majesty of the law to come down on him like a ton of cliches’.”
What if Captain Smith had parked the Titanic for the night long, long ago? “Captain Smith, you brought the company’s newest ship and all her passengers and crew safely to
The judge summons Perry Mason to the bench. “Mr. Mason, you were wonderful today. You saved an innocent woman from the death penalty and you helped the police find the real murderer. You represent everything that is true and noble in the legal profession. Your license to practice law is suspended until further notice, and the bailiff will now escort you to your cell.”
On a fine autumn day several liberal arts graduates from the United States Department of Agriculture descend upon Farmer Brown with briefcases full of legal documents. “Farmer Brown, you raised fine crops of wheat and soy this year. You provided part-time employment for three transient laborers and for five high school kids during the haying season. You filled out all your government forms accurately, paid your taxes, demonstrated wise agricultural practices, and in all ways are an excellent man. Your livestock are well cared for and you are unfailingly considerate of your neighbors and the environment. Therefore, we must investigate you. During this investigation, which may take a year or two, you are forbidden to farm. This means you will lose the land that’s been in your family for generations, but don’t worry; it will make a nice parking lot for Giganto-Mart. Further, your federal government, for whom you voted, is in its infinite generosity giving you a discount on your monthly rental of a public-housing unit.”
These are humorous imaginings, but there are very real exceptions to the idea that the laborer is worth of his hire: the illogical ways the American people sometimes mishandle their own police and their own young men and women in the services.

Going Home...
One of my most viewed photos of 2009.
Sunset At Lake Sam Rayburn...
The Sun is almost down and the lake will be dark and quiet. Time to get to the camp and eat and sleep when the time is right for it. I wonder if they had fun on this day and what will they do tomorrow?

Black and White Evening...
One of my most viewed photos of 2009.
Lake Sam Rayburn Texas! August 30, 2009
I was taking a series of Sunset photos while i was in the boat and waiting for it to be loaded. I was doing some color photos using the Minolta 35-105mm Lens and using a "Center Weighted Average" Metering Mode. I decided to go and switch to Black and White mode and was like WoW!! I love the textures and skyscape They photos have an HDR quality to them.

Baja Boat Sunset 1.1

IH 10 1.1
One of my most viewed of 2009.
Shot at location around Beaumont Texas.
Interstate 10 East and West. Taken facing North.
IH 10 make a turn to the right and heads East to Lake Charles Louisiana. It also branches off into HWY 96 and 69 North.

Herman Park 1.6
One of my most viewed of 2009.
Taken All Around Houston Texas on Friday Night, August 14, 2009.
Reflecting Pool at Herman Park. This was a 59 second exposure of the Reflecting pool. I love how the light just POPS!! It is, in my opinion, right at the edge of being over exposed. I used the 18-70mm Kit lens and the wireless shutter release in BULB mode. I use a very low ISO for this long exposure.
Exposure: 59
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Night Sky November 17, 2009
One of my most viewed of 2009.
It was taken using the Sony 18-70mm Lens and made using the program called Startrails. I took 64 different photos that were 45 seconds long at ISO800. The focal length was 18mm at f/3.5 from 10.39pm to 11.09pm CST facing the North Western Sky. I used the Opetka Programmable Wired Shutter Release to accomplish this photography set . This photo is the equivalent of a 48 minuet timed exposure.
The purple tint in the upper corners is due to the CCD Sensor heating up for the use of the equipment. There is noting that i can do about that. I am going to try another technique to see if i can eliminate it.
DSC06171: Work 2.4
One of my most viewed of 2009.
I think that this photo is perhaps even better than the Work 2.7 photo. The color and lighting is brilliant on this photo. The bright arc is not overpowering any of the photo and you can see the orange glow of the lights in the metal shot reflecting on the metal to the left of the weld. The orange glow on the inside of the pipe si from the hot metal penetrating the pipe and welding it together.
Exposure: 0.067 sec (1/15)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 60 mm
