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.

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.

Sunset At Lake Sam Rayburn, Tx...

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...
