Final Destination Cheer Competition...

We went to Final Destination yesterday at VA Beach. It was built up by most of the competitions that we have attended. There were over 500 teams in the competition. It was held at the VA Beach Convention Center. It is a really neat structure and very modern looking. In my opinion, it was ill-suited for this competition. We have been to several of the contests around the country and they have always had a good stage set-up for the contest. The arena did not have a stage that was high off the ground and the lighting in the arena was very bad. The seating was low and limited and priority seating was to far away for most parents to get good pictures of their children.

I for one, was not impressed with the set-up of the competition at all and i get that was the tone from other people that i spoke to as well. Here is a picture of the Convention Center:











Our team did well and we placed 2nd in our division! We were very happy with these results. It was a long day and i took many pictures that i will be posting soon

Have a good day!

Mountain Biking Today!!

I went with Jeff today to Powhite Park for a nice ride today. We meat at 2.0pm and started on the trails. It was a windy day at 85 degrees and sunny! We had a good ride and rode 4.5 miles, not really hardcore today just getting in a good cardio work-out! Powhite is really hilly, not many lat trails and they are in really good shape given all the rain that we had in the last 9 weeks. Some of the obstacles have been taken out due to they want the trails to be more hiker friendly because of the condos that are being built next to the park. In my opinion, they could have cut a trail to the side of the obstacle and let it in. We will see what happens to the park after all the people move in.

These are some of the first blooms from my roses. I have been waiting for them to start blooming. I hope to have several more blooms open on some of the other roses in my backyard. I thought that this was a very nice shot.

Waterfall Revisited...

Waterfall Revisited..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I went back and wanted to do the "waterfall" thing again after knowing a little bit more about my camera. I used the same waterfall that i located in the fron of my neighborhood. I shot the photo in Shutter Priority this time. The results were amazing. I achieved the desired effect that is wanted when shooting waterfalls. The water is slowed down and it gives a milky look with the surrounding area in sharp focus. It had just finished raining and was overcast with some breaks in the clouds.
