Fire Ball!!! BOOM!!!


Fire Ball!!! BOOM!!!, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

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 German 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...

The Sun Is Drawing...You Bumm Looker!

I was coming home from the shooting range this evening and i was driving down Old Hundred Road waiting to make the tun onto Watermill Parkway when i saw the sunset. I was amazed and i knew that i had to find somewhere to take a few photos. I sat a field that had a mound of dirt in it and i placed my Tacoma into 4x4 mode and i went to the top of the hill. I grabbed the camera and got onto my step bars and started shooting away! This photo as well as DSC04854, DSC04853, and DSC04850 were taken during this secession. I did not know at the time, but i was able to capture more of "The Sun ID Drawing" phenomena. I think that it really comes out well in the B/W photographs...

Butterfly Bush...


Butterfly Bush..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I have been waiting for this plant to bloom for all spring. My grandmother called it a Butterfly Bush. I am not exactly sure what it is called. I took this picture today during the early afternoon and it was really hot! I used Apature Priority to get the bloom in sharp focus and everything else blurry. It looks really cool on the rocks and stuff that is under it. I like how it turned out! I think that this technique is called Depth Of Field using the Apature.

Sun Rays...


Sun Rays..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

We went to the mall today and as we were driving home i made a comment on how the sun was coming through the clouds and how that would make a nice photo. When i got home, it was still occurring so i get my camera and took the shot in B/W where i hoped that it would show up better than in color and it did! I love the contrast that is in this picture.

Grass Seed Forest?


Grass Seed Forest?, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this today in the front yard of my house. Some of the grass is going to seed and i laid in the yard to get this shot. I brought the grass into sharp focus by adjusting the apature and f/stop. I took it in HD Aspect Ratio to get more of the scene and in B/W for the color contrast.

Camera Accessories...


For Father's Day, my Daughter got me the Case Logic 6'' Flexible Tripod that i wanted! It is just like the Gorilla Pod and it works the same for much less. I am very happy and it is really neat!

All have a good rest of the day...

Korean Memorial at Night


Korean Memorial at Night, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I love the Korean War Memorial! It is my favorite on at night. I wish that i will have the time to go and take it with a tripod and get a good night photo. I don't know if that is going to happen. You can tell the pain on their face as they walk in the muck and mud. They just hulk around doing a job...

A Day at the Museum...


A Day at the Museum..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this when we went to the National Museum of Natural History in DC several weeks ago. I love the architecture and the domes in the evening light. It looks like the Grand Central Station that is located in DC as well. The way the shapes join and the colors are very earthly in shade.

Inside Out..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I was just messing around with the camera yesterday trying to kill the battery. I took this in my kitchen. It is strange how the window and light shows up but not the wall of much of the table.

Stained - "Outside" But i´m on the outside
I´m looking in
And I can see through you
