Taken in OFallon Illinois. It was about 12 DegF that morning.

If i would have not said where this photo was taken, one could assume that it is anywhere in the world. The snow gives it a desolate look. The sun glowing off the snow looks like it could be in the tundra or some other location like that.

I happened to look up and i saw all the pine resin on a spot where the limb had been cut. I thought that i looked very interesting and i happened to have my camera with the 70-300mm lens on it. I placed it in Macro mode and that is what i got. It has some great Bokeh and Depth of Field.

Inside the tunnel at the bottom of it heading west. I thought that this would be a neat picture if it came out well. This was the best of the set. I did get some interesting effects while i was in the car trying this. Our speed was 55mph. I shot this photo in the "Action" program.

This was taken in Midlothian Virginia where i used to live.


I used a Black Flash mode with Apature Priority to take this photo. I turned out very clear and if you look, you will see a rain drop on one of the petals. I also used the Cloudy weather setting. The flash did not wash out the flower like happens a lot when you do a macro.

She will be on her way to live with me starting this December.

This is a wonderful shot of our cat sitting where she is not supposed to. She likes to climb and get on high places. I think that it was well framed and love the lighting and contrast. She is very photogenic and i wonder if she does not pose for me sometimes. When i start taking photos of her, it looks like she knows what i am doing...

The bloom is a very pretty and delicate. The start out white and as the day progresses, they turn a deep pink color. The Bokeh in this photo is just amazing and the Quantaray does a very good job at it.

Andean Pampas Grass: The silky, feathery plumes of pampas grass add a nice texture to the home landscape. The plant flowers for a long time in late summer and fall, then as a bonus the plumes can be cut and dried for use indoors.

The photo was taken with the Quantaray 70-300mm Tele-Macro lens. IT has amazing Bokeh and brings out the Fall colors in this photo well. The light and dark make this photo very nice.

I love how the light catches the lighter colors on this rose and reflectes it back. I think that i used a-1 on the flash brightness. This photo is very detailed as you can see the whiskers on the stem and the textures of the petals.

To me, this photo is almost perfect. I love the textures and shading on the rose/ I used the flash for this photo at a -2 setting where it would not be blown out. The background is all blurred out and it looks like it is ready for a print to be made or a card. The Black&White really made this rose look amazing.

You can see the blurry red spot behind the main rose is another bloom that is really out of focus. The photo has really great Bokeh in it. The flash was tuned down -2 and i love how it gave the bloom an almost glowing effect.

Bougainvillea Macro, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was taken using my Schneider-Kreuznach Componon 40mm f/4 Lens that i use as a Do It Yourself Macro lens. This is a perfect Macro of the delicate flower on a Bogan Via that we have at home. I love the vignetting that occurred around the photo because of the difference in Apertures and sizes in the lenses. I did not use a flash for this series of photos. This turned out to be one of the best ones in the set.
