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

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.

FlickR Stuff

I have been trying to get more and more of my photos on Flickr placed on the Google map that is provided. So far, i have gotten most all of my St Thomas, Duke University, Epcot and Universal Studios placed. I also have various other photos on a map from different sets. Another example would be the Baltimore Harbor pics that i took with my LGVX 8600 Cam Phone. It is a neat option to be able to do that. Feel free to go and look at some of them.

Enjoy!

Sunday Morning Bike Ride...

Well folks we went to Pocahontas Park this morning at 7.45am and we hit the trails. We rode Lake View I,II,III. We have ridden I & II before but never III. It took off from Lake View II and it was really a GREAT trail to ride. It had many more turns and hills and was long. We decided to park inside the main park and not ride from Quala Lot as that would have added about 3+ miles to the ride. As it turned out, we rode about 14 miles this morning. I drank an entire pouch full of water! It was so hot and humid and there was not wind at all other then when we were riding our bikes. It was a fun ride but i have been really tired all day since i rode this morning.

Well, i need to get ready for sleep and work tomorrow...

How to use Firefox as Windows Explorer or File Manager?

Firefox
is the most commonly used browser among the bloggers and blog
followers. If you don’t like to clutter your windows experience by
opening lots of windows then you can use Firefox as Windows Explorer or
File Manager. As Firefox comes with tabbed interface, you can open all
the file locations in different tabs which otherwise would have come in
different windows.

So How to use Firefox as Windows Explorer or File Manager?

By default, Firefox can not be used as Windows Explorer. As Internet
Explorer can be used as Windows Explorer also, all that you have to do
is install the IE Tab plugin for your Firefox.

(Windows XP Theme used in the image: Micorsoft Zune XP Black Theme)

Now, open an IE Tab in the Firefox and use the file extension
“file:///” followed by local drive to use Firefox as Windows Explorer
(For example, “file:///D:/Lyte%20Byte”). These file locations can also
be bookmarked like a regular webpage, so the next time all you have to
do is just click a link in Firefox to open up a folder in your computer.

If you are looking for a Windows Explorer with a tabbed interface, you can also use IE7 in Windows Vista or XP. Also checkout “How to get a tabbed Windows Explorer or File Manager?”
