Rust...

Rust..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was on the side of an old barn on 481 East that i rode by and on my mountain bike and then the next day, i drove to and took this photo. I think that the metal is galvanized metal. I liked the colors that are in the photo. I think that the wood grain is a nice touch to the metal(LOL)

Another Old Building...

Another Old Building..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

While i was taking photos of the general store, i turned around and found this building on the opposite corner. It stood out to me by the way that it was all alone, no home near it. You can tell that it is very old due to the unevenness and the slanting of the structure. Perhaps it was a gas station or a post office or some other business. I say that because of the bars on the front windows and the way that the drive comes in front of it. I took it in 16:9 Aspect Ratio to get all of it and the surrounding trees.

Camera Update.

Over the three day weekend i took over 2 gigs of photos. I went to North Carolina on a full charge an shot over 400 photos on one 2 gig card. I can get over 440+ normaly on a 2 giger, but i did lots of RAW format photos and they take lots of room. When i switched cards, i still had over 60% better life left! I was ready for another 400+ but time ran out on us...

KOA Memorial Day Weekend Vacation!

We went to a KOA Campground in Enfield North Carolina for the Memorial Day Weekend. We did "tent" camping. It was our first attempt at this. We had a good time! They had swimming and other activities for the campers. We got the tent set up on Friday evening and during that night, it rained on us. Were kind of freaked out about this and hoped that we would not be trapped in the tent all the next day. It reined from about 2am till 9.30am and then it cleared off. We were really happy about that. We had a good camp neighbors and did several camp fire sittings with them.

I did lots of photography and learned some new techniques and settings with the camera. I used the EV Bracketing and did lots of Black and White photographs. I did a lot of RAW photos and 16:9 Aspect Ratios as well. I did lots of nature and clous photos using the Bracketing method. With that method, you can make HDR Photos using special software and i will post a few soon.

White Easter Lilly...

White Easter Lilly..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was blooming at the entrance to the office of the KOA that we stayed at this Memorial Day weekend. This is as tight as i could get. You can see pollen on the pistil of the bloom. I used a "Back Flash" on the flower. I love using that flash setting.

The Bee Cropped Photo...

I cropped the original photo to zoom onto the Be better. Here it is! The resolution is just amazing with my A200. No distortion from the original to the cropped photo. look at the clarity of the bee in contrast to the surroundings and notice you cannot see his wings frozen.

A flying Bee...

I went to take a few pictures today and saw a Bee flying around the rose blooms. I took several photos of it and then watched it fly around and then decided to take a few of that as well. They turned out amazing. This was taken in my backyard.

Amethyst...

Amethyst, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was a big piece of Amethyst that was in the Smithsonian National Museum Of Natural History in Washington DC. I thought that it would be a neat photo. They have a great section on Geology as well as many other exibit halls. This rock weighed well over 500 pounds and is one of the few items that can be touched in the museum.
