Now coming back and revisiting this photo, i realize that it had much more going on than i first had thought. The shadows cast by the different light patterns are really nice. The shadows cast by the plants in the background on the pots are really nice. I only saw the main splashes of light and dark. I used my 70-300mm lens for this photo.

I took this at Union Station in St Louis on Sunday morning. I love the way it turned out in B/W with the water,sun,stone, and light patterns. The photo shows some great contrast of the area. Union Station is a historic landmark and if you are ever in St Louis, i suggest that you go and visit it.

B/W Wheat Field and Clouds

This was also taken off of 481 West on Sunday. I took this in B/W to get a neat contrast of the wheat, trees, and sky all at the same time and I shot it in 16:9 Aspect to get more of the surroundings in the photo. I took this around the same time that I took the close up photo of the wheat.

This was my first attempt at shooting the night sky. I was hoping to get some rotational effects but i got a good clear sky shot. At the lower left, you can see a streak that is from a jet. The orange glow is from the fire that we had making Smores tonight. It turned out very good, better than i expected. I bought a tri-pod today so i will be able to take better photos at night due to not having to find a steady surface to place the camera on.

TO me; it is no wonder that the a200 won an award. "Digital Photo Magazine....Alpha A200 was named by the magazine as Best Entry Level DSLR for 2008" This photo just shows what it can do!!

I went with my friends to the shooting range today. They brought all their weapons with them and were ready to shoot some stuff up. I once again got to shoot most if not all of the guns and like last time, got to document all of this all the while trying to catch the elusive muzzle flash. It is much harder then one might think even with a fast camera, timing is EVERYTHING!

After about 400 photos and 10 different guns, i hit PAY DIRT!! It was just perfect! Look at the flash!! A ball of FIRE out of his 1954 Czechoslovakian made pistol shooting 7.62x25 cartridges. I got many photos with smoke and i saw many flashes but this is the ONLY fireball that was caught!!

The range was way out in Goochland County north of I64 West. I have to thank my friends for all their time and letting me shoot with them, expecting nothing in return but my time and fun. They will be missed dearly when i move in another month...
