Light Trails -2

This was another in the set before i took the good ones from a fixed position. You can also see a few "ghost" vehicles in the photo as well. I was still to far away from the road for this to be a good photo. It was about 1.5 second exposure with a F-Stop of 8.

Light Trails -1

Light Trails -1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

It was a little out of focus and a bit far back from the road. This was one of the first set of the trails that you see posted about 2 days ago. It is neat to see some of the cars giving the ghosting effect but also the light trails from the rear of the cars. I took this without a flash and "Free Hand" with no tri-pod.

Exposure: 0.6 sec (3/5)
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 28 mm
ISO Speed: 400

George Washington Masonic Memorial...

I took these in Alexandria Virginia at the George Washington Masonic Memorial. It is a beautiful structure that towers more than 300 feet into the sky. You can take a tour of the building that has 9 floors. The elevators are tilted in a 7.5 degree angle and start out about 50 feet apart and on the 9th floor are no more than 10 feet between them. You do not notice the angle as you go up. We did not get to see all floors of the building. On the 9th, there is an observation deck that goes around the top; you get a breathtaking view of the surrounding city and Potomac River.

Over the next week, i will post some photos of some of the interior that we were able to tour.

Gravestones in 16:9 Aspect.

Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington Virginia: Saturday May 10, 2008

I took this photo and i wanted to see what it looks like in color and B/W. I use the B/W for my desktop. I shot it in an 16:9 HD Aspect Ratio so you can get the total effect of the sky and land. even though they are not exactly the same position i hope that you get the essence of the photograph. The color photo was shot in "Vivid Mode" for high contrast between the gravestone and the land & Sky. I think that it worked well.
