Light and Dark...


Light and Dark..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I took this photo after just two weeks of owning my Sony A200.

This was taken in the Historic Courthouse In St Louis. I thought that it was neat with the contrasting light and darkness as well as the staircase was wrought iron. It really made me think about the history behind the stairwell and i wondered who might have walked up and down it. This picture turned out much better than it should have considering that i only had the camera about 2 weeks at that point.

Lake Sam Rayburn Texas, Cloudy with a chance of Rain. 16:9 Aspect Ratio taken with the Sony 18-70mm Lens.

Next in The lake series from today. This photo was taken shooting almost due North. Over on the right side of the photo, you can almost make out Rattlesnake Island and the Little Island as well. Again, this is a Full Color photo, not Monochromatic as it looks. It was also taken in 16:9 format.

Driving home after class tonight i saw the lake look strange. This is a color photo but it looks Monochromatic, like a Black and White photo. The way i am looking is to the North West towards Lufkin Texas and the HWY 143 Bridge. I just thought that it was a neat look to be shot in 16:9 as well.

Taken off of the side of HWY255. I pulled my Tacoma over to the side of the road and put the flashers on and then stood on the cement wall to get this photo...

I used a Center Weighted Metering Mode to take this photo. That is why it looks all dark. It is a nice effect.

Afternoon Pines 1.0


Afternoon Pines 1.0, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Taken using the Sony 18-70mm Lens and in 16:9 Aspect Ratio.

I am trying to convey the vastness of the Piny Woods here in South East Texas to my viewers. This area had many saw mills starting way back in the 1800s and some of them still continue today. This photo was taken in part of the Angelina National Forrest just South of Lake Rayburn.

I was out driving around down logging roads and had my camera for that purpose. You can see the ground vegetation is starting to make its color sift for the Fall Season. These woods look like they go on forever and some do. Where i was standing and looking to take this photo, i could not see any other trees. All of the old Hardwood had been cut out many years ago, perhaps at the tun of the century.

These trees have to be around 50 years old in this forrest where i stood to take this photo. It is hard to get the vastness from this photo, but it is an amazing site to see, standing in a forrest like this. All the colors and light coming through the trees and the shadows cast from the trees make a beautiful photo in my mind's eye. I only hope that you can appreciate them like i do...

More clover with rain drops on the leaves due to nasty weather we had while were in Texas. It was about 65 degrees with drizzle. I had to use a "Back Flash" for the photo. There is a little vignetting due to the difference in focal length of the two lenses.

Dusk with Moon


Dusk with Moon, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Taken using a Sony 18-70mm Lens in 16:9 Aspect Ratio:

Facing Southwest, this photo was taken during the same shoot as Dusk After Storm on FMR 255 East. The deep tones in the sky and wisps of clouds over the tree line kind of bring into perspective the vastness of the sky. The sliver of Moon high in the sky is just a taste of it and what is to come...

I was driving home from school on FMR 255 East and saw a nice evening sky. I stopped my Tacoma on the side of the road on the South end or Lake Rayburn and walked over to the lake side and got on the wall to shoot this photo. A storm had come through the area and this is what remained of it. I love the deep earthy tones in the sky and the clouds to the right in the sky.

Texas Longhorn 1.2


Texas Longhorn 1.2, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

HWY 63 East just out of Zavalla Texas. Taken with a Sony 18-70mm Lens.

WHile i was taking this set of photos, this Longhorn never would walk to the fence like the rest of them. He just hung close to the tree and did his thing. All the while, he did keep an eye on me...

The Spider, My Friend...





One night not long after i moved back to Texas i walked out the front porch and i saw this spider. He built a very large web on the West end to capture bugs and moths. I thought kool, he was not in the walking path and i was going to leave him alone.

I came back out the next morning and he was gone. I was like, what happened to him because i knew that i did not kill him. The next night i walked back to the porch and he was back in the same spot. I was like Cool!! I wonder where he goes during the day and also i wondered where he goes during the day. These photos were taken on 6.25.2009, it is now 9.19.2009 and he is still in the same spot, building and rebuilding each and every night.

Sometimes, i go outside and i will capture a few bugs and moth or two and throw them into the web and watch it go and eat! It is very interesting to me that we can live with some insects and not bother them. He is not hurting me nor me it and i intend to keep it that way...

Texas Longhorn 1.8


Texas Longhorn 1.8, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

HWY 63 East just out of Zavalla Texas. Taken with a Quantaray 70-300mm Lens.

A funny story while taking this set of photos; as i was shooting this longhorn, the others started looking at me and then the whole herd came running to the fence. I had my camera and they let em shoot as many photos as i wanted to. When i moved, they would follow me to a different part of the fence, if i moved back, they moved back. It was really funny!!

One of my favorite poses and photos of this guy. He was white and brown so i did a Black and White Photo of him and i also shot the photo in a 16:9 Aspect Ratio to get more of the background in it as well. He stuck around the longest of the bunch of Longhorns in this field.
