Single Trumpet Crop

Single Trumpet Crop, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Here is the cropped photo of one bloom i shot yesterday. It has an amazing amount of detail and i cropped it from the Trumpet Vine 5 photograph. Look at the bottom left center and see the fuzz, also look at the veins on the inside illuminated from the sun. I always loved these as a child growing up in Texas.

Here is the original EXIF data from the photo:
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 70 mm

Trumpet Vine...

I drive by the lake every day and love the Trumpet Vines and flowers that are blooming. I had time today and i stopped to get several photos of them. They were loaded with black ants getting nerctar from inside the blooms. If you look at the photos, you will see the ants.

I did this Macro a few days ago. I was just having fun!! It was really hot that day but the flower looked very amazing in the bright day sun. I love the detail in the center of the bloom.

I took this on the way to St Louis. It was facing Northeast looking back over the Blue Ridge Mountains while driving South on Interstate 81/64. I took it at 7.26am that morning and i had to pull over off the road to get the shot. I had just bought the Sony a200 the week before and was trying to get used to how it operated. I love the orange color that i all over the sky with only a con trail from a long gone jet.

New Graffti...

Several months ago i did a post about a new neighborhood called RounTrey across the road from our home. They have a tunnel that goes under the road where you can safely walk and avoid traffic. We have ridden our bikes around this place. I went there to do some Black and White and Color photography and i was amazed by what i saw! To think that in this edition, there are $400K plus homes with this crap happening to their area. GRAFFTI!!! All over the walls of the walking path and garbage dumped where the road ends...
Upscale White Trash!!!

I took this photo first driving down Otterdale Road. I had my camera ready for a good photo. I had been wanting to get a good shot of the towers against the sky.
