Down by the canal cottage in Sandiacre was a field with horses and a large tub of carrots for them to eat.

I always carry these 3 pocket guides with my camera. However I never seem to reach for them when I use my camera. This means that their wisdom is beyond me and delays my learning the spells and incantations involved in the magical and wonderous world of photography.

There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ~Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
I was looking for a meaningful quote to go with this but then I found that one and couldn't not use it! I love the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and it made me chuckle!
I had an early 6.30 start this morning, trying to catch a sunrise again. But found something much better. Thick fog covered the lake so you could barely see anything. I must express this image isn't over processed this is real in camera fog! Vanishing the birds and the horizon line :) was stunning to see. Makes you open your eyes and realise how beautiful this world really is.
Had a few issues with this...
1. I was preparing my camera 10 mins before leaving by deleting old photos when the battery died.. I charged it for 20 mins and it lasted for ages! Canon are fab for their batteries!
2. They had redone the fencing since I'd last been here, making it very hard for short people carrying heavy photography equipment to get over!!
But I've come away feeling creatively satisfied for today!
A happy Rosie :)
Students at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College are learning how to climb and work on telephone poles.
I'm the one doing the learning, not Flash. This dog's ability to focus is amazing. Just show him a ball and his eyes will remain fixed on it better and longer than your AF lock function can.
In the police K-9 school, they train police dogs using tennis balls, rewarding them with a game of fetch whenever they complete a task. I don't know how they do it, but these dogs are absolutely obsessed about balls (I've met a few retired police dogs apart from Flash). Whenever I come home, the first thing Flash does is to grab a ball, then run to greet me. When he wakes from his sleep, that is also the very first thing he does - look for his ball. If humans were this easy to satisfy, we'd be a very happy species, don't you think?

The Cathedral of Learning, a Pittsburgh landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Standing at 535 feet (>163 m), the 42-story Late Gothic Revival Cathedral is the tallest educational building in the Western hemisphere and the second tallest university building (fourth tallest educationally-purposed building) in the world. The Cathedral of Learning was commissioned in 1921 and ground was broken in 1926. The first class was held in the building in 1931 and its exterior finished in October 1934, prior to its formal dedication in June, 1937. The Cathedral is a steel frame structure overlaid with Indiana limestone and contains more than 2,000 rooms and windows. The building is often used by the University in photographs, postcards, and other advertisements. (Wikipedia)

One of my photography goals has been to try a levitation photo, and I think I can successfully check that off my to-do list. It was easier than I expected, at least with a levitation photo this basic. But damn, no one tells you how much your back hurts after balancing on a stepladder for a photo! Sacrifices for art.
Day 79 - Learning
Hitting The Books
I love the looks of the local llibrary here in Newark, New York. I'm sure as the days move forward I'll take more pictures of the building.
This time around I grabbed our middle son for the picture. I had him look like he was studying while enjoying some Friday afternoon sun. Who knows, maybe the picture will inspire him to study more. (LOL!)

Just removed the yellowish and tried to soften
the contrasts a bit. /M
So as with every time I learn a new technique I must try it out on poor Domo. After our last time out doing portraits with a flash I really wanted to know how to achieve better results and nicer lighting.
Turns out, flash photography is a whole new world of learning and of course buying things! So I went and got a light stand with umbrella and some wireless receivers and here we are again.
We went to the same park as the last photo trip and this time tried some off camera flash stuff. It took a while to learn and honestly I'm still trying to understand it, but we took some really cool shots I think. Here's the first one hot off the presses.
Doblo los picos. El resto no aboga por nadie. Frases cortas, respuestas lentas y preguntas insostenibles. Lo que haces se llama frÃo. No es estar en un aprieto, es pensar que puedes volver a verme y querer saltar obstáculos hasta el horizonte. El tamaño de la letra con la que se escribe va en relación con lo que se escribe. No lo veo fácil, pero tampoco lo complico. Ya no tengo ganas. PodrÃa decirlo de otra forma, con otras palabras, pero vas a seguir sin saber leer. Iros lejos, ¿Qué hoy no os soporto? Ayer tampoco, y mañana parece hoy. No es solo un problema, es uno por latido. Por pálpitos van siete, y por ti sigo muriendo. ¿Encantado? Por lo menos yo hablo hasta que estoy en silencio. No relato, ni repaso, ni me fijo. Solo escribo. Volver al futuro es la clave. Ya lo dejo. Espero, de verdad, que mañana pueda leer esto y romperlo porque no me gusta. No quiero oler como el fango, sentirme como el barro, aunque pocas esculturas he levantado. Y las pocas desafortunadas caen como tierra, a la tierra. Tengo minada la moral, para mi nada, tú vas to morao, como es normal. Los que, sin haber indicios, indican con el Ãndice, inciden en mis intentos. Muertos inminentes. No tengo lo que pido porque merezco dormir de frÃo. Morir dos veces, y vernos nunca. Creo, que no es poco, que para entonces, cuando nos queramos ver pero nos odiemos, echaremos de menos lo que tendremos mañana. Equivocarse es callar cuando nos piden respuestas. Por cobardes tenemos los actos hechos, pero el hecho de acecharnos es continuo, no rutinario. Perdón. Nos sabes cuánto. Buenos ejemplos llegan lejos. Cuánto daño hace intentar hacer las paces, y parecer creÃble creyéndote que has sido nadie.

- What are you doing today ?
- Learning !
C'est le quotidien des centaines de moines qui vivent au monastère de Maha Ganayon. Ils sont plongés dans les textes qu'ils étudient et lisent en toutes situations, en toutes circonstances : assis par terre, assis sur un banc, assis sur une moto, debout immobile, debout en faisant les 100 pas, à voix basse, à haute voix, etc. Chacun sa méthode.
Learning the difficult task of using your trunk to drink (~40,000 muscles to figure out!).

okay, so, the other night, while I did get some stunning shots, none of them were of what I wanted to be shooting, which is the sky. this frame is the best I got that night. I know I can do better, but I'm sick of having the limitations I have with this cheap mount/drive/scope. I've basically chewed through this scope (somewhat literally), and I've learned what it could teach me.
I've been looking for something more robust that's still in my budget, and I'd like some input.
what I've zero'd in on so far is a vixen vmc-110, and a celestron cg-4. these two together fit into my budget, and give me something that, I think, tracks reasonably well, and will let me mount my camera. also, it seems to all facilitate the process (i.e. no fumbling around in the dark... well, not so much anyway).
other things I'd appreciate input on:
-is the cg-5 mount worth the extra $400?
-is the celestron omni xlt 127, with the cg4, for the same price, a better idea?
-would I be better off with a refractor of some flavor?
thanks.
I let the background overtake the foreground on this one. Oh silly me will have to do it again...
edited to add: This is the completed redo. I had to make the card a little bigger for envelope purposes. I used less "Bat Poopie", as Kathy named it, on the background and also added a little watercoloring technique to ground the house a little. I added the fun fur fibers (trying saying that 3 times fast) as a finishing touch. Voila, one make over.
So what have I learned today? Bat poopies can be a good thing. Don't touch your sponge to the wrong color of ink or your moon will turn orange. Continue to make (and love) one layer cards as they are always a challenge. And last but never least, always take the time to say "Thank you".
Thank you, Linda aka Oz
