CO2 Greenhouse gas menace.

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I encourage all liberals to contribute to eliminating this hazardous threat to humanity by ceasing to exhale. The conservatives will benefit greatly by getting their country back.

A NEW ICE AGE.

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Because the current evidence of the last ice age is slowly disapating, the only way of restoring the ice caps, glaciers, etc. is with a new ice age. This would, of course, have some minor side effects such as mass starvation, and mass migrations of a large percent of humankind. This new ice age WILL happen in the future, no matter what man does. My guess is that it will be triggered by the "nuclear winter" provided by the coming war with Islam. I hope that the idiots that believe in man caused global warming will reflect on the fact that global ice has been melting for 8,000 years. There is ample proof that the rate of melting was highest at a time when there was no technology and very few residents on our planet.

Red Maple

This image was software enhanced to resemble a water color painting. I realize that it's sort of fake but it's different.

I recently acquired this jewel. It's Russian and from the Communist era. Nice example of a 5.2 inch, 20 ounce Mak. Photos were hand held.

Red Wing Blackbird

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I took this shot a few hours after my Minolta 100-300mm APO Zoom arrived in the mail from Japan. This was hand held at 300mm at ISO 400. These older Minolta Maxxum lenses are fantastic on the Sony DSLR's.

Where do these fit?

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Aircraft photography using 500mm Russian Reflex lens on Sony A200 SLR. Taken on a rare day at DFW aiport when strong N.W. winds limited operations to the two available crosswind runways. This was a rare opportunity for local photographers. These images were all hand held at f8 and 1/2000, ISO400. This first Image is an MD-80. A transportation forum might be a good idea for those of us that like trains, planes, vehicles, and water craft.

This guy is the ruler of my rock garden. He doesn't seem to mind posing for me.

The Jeffry Pine on Sentinal Dome

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I photographed this tree in 1964 during one of my visits to Yosemite. The original image was captured on Kodachrome II using an Alpa 6b. I photographed the slide with a Sony A200 with a Minolta 50mm f1.7 and a short extender. The image was post processed and totally desaturated. Ansel Adams photographed this tree many times but never included Half Dome as I did. The tree died in 1976 and was first photographed in the mid-eighteen hundreds.
