DSC00042: Portrait, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is a photo of my mother. I took it today using my 70-300mm lens as a portrait lens. I noticed during several photos that it has very nice Bokeh even at Telephoto ranges using a shallow Depth Of Field. This is an area that i am trying to get into using my camera. Please let me know what you think of this photo.

DSC09965: Butterfly in Light...

DSC09965: Butterfly in Light..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

When i was walking through the Butterfly Dome i was looking for a shot that would WOW me. This was just such a photograph.I think that this photo is one of the best photos that i have taken.

The lighting was just perfect on the butterfly with nice Bokeh, Framing, and position. I love how the light falls on his partially open wings and you can see just a hint of blue. Also how the light is shining through the top of his wing. The Depth Of Field is very nice with the green leaf very focused and the butterfly looking very ethereal

DSC00024: Arch Views 1.14, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I was trying a bit of a different approach to taking a photo of The Arch. The structure if so massive and hard to get in one photograph. I love the perspective on this photo as it is not centered and has the negative space to the right of the object. The sky was flat in this photo with only a bright spot of sun reflecting off the bottom portion of the Arch.

On the East Side of The Arch looking out over the Mississippi River to the Eads Bridge. Notice the big shadow on the Arch on the water? I think that it is really a neat photo.
