Big Dipper...


Big Dipper..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was my first attempt at shooting the night sky. I was hoping to get some rotational effects but i got a good clear sky shot. At the lower left, you can see a streak that is from a jet. The orange glow is from the fire that we had making Smores tonight. It turned out very good, better than i expected. I bought a tri-pod today so i will be able to take better photos at night due to not having to find a steady surface to place the camera on.

Exposure: 15 sec (15)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 400

TO me; it is no wonder that the a200 won an award. "Digital Photo Magazine....Alpha A200 was named by the magazine as Best Entry Level DSLR for 2008" This photo just shows what it can do!!

I went with my friends to the shooting range today. They brought all their weapons with them and were ready to shoot some stuff up. I once again got to shoot most if not all of the guns and like last time, got to document all of this all the while trying to catch the elusive muzzle flash. It is much harder then one might think even with a fast camera, timing is EVERYTHING!

After about 400 photos and 10 different guns, i hit PAY DIRT!! It was just perfect! Look at the flash!! A ball of FIRE out of his 1954 Czechoslovakian made pistol shooting 7.62x25 cartridges. I got many photos with smoke and i saw many flashes but this is the ONLY fireball that was caught!!

The range was way out in Goochland County north of I64 West. I have to thank my friends for all their time and letting me shoot with them, expecting nothing in return but my time and fun. They will be missed dearly when i move in another month...

This was taken on Woolridge Road going across the Swift Creek Reservoir. I placed the camera on the back of my truck. and got some good shots. I think that this is the best out of the photo set that i took because you get the head and tail lights in the pic as well as see the road. I was shot in Vivid Mode. It looks like a laser just fired from the far left side of the photo.
