Hello all!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Took this photo on Christmas Eve....Ella got a tricycle and I snapped a few while she was learning to ride it. She got a ton of stuff for Christmas. Playing Santa is the funnest thing a parent can possibly do... :D
I actually edited several from these, and when contemplating what to post I just thought this was the cutest, most "Ella" photo. It's only right that the strap is basically across her face.
I would also LOVE it if you would LIKE my facebook page! www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ben-Minor-Photography/112961898...

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses real
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
(...)
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Pity the poor trainee who had to learn his craft on FRU826, a 1946 Bristol K5G with Hants and Dorset, seen here in Bournemouth on June 16th 1969.
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)
We returned to the Chicagoland area to snow...and quite a bit of snow for the New Year! I went out to Ryerson with the idea of photographing my favorite avenue of trees with the snow blowing around - trying to get this scene in the different seasons. I don't know how well you can see the snow here - trust me, it was blowing. And then I'd go ski.
When I was setting up, this father and young son were making their way very slowly down the path. Slowly, because the little guy, who was learning to cross-country ski, kept falling. Funny thing is, mom and other child were skiing on another path - and that child wasn't using poles, and not falling at all!
It was a fantastic day to be out skiing. Perfect snow. Such easy gliding. Great way to begin the New Year.

Learning the ropes of being an engineer is a 24/7 job just like everything else on the railroad. Here a newer engineer trainee works the control stand over while switching cars.
I want you to understand that I am not the same as yesterday. You were the turning point and although maybe not. I just wake up without talking to the pillow, learning to rest from you and my thoughts.
Well, here's my first weekly challenge - pencil, watercolor & sharpie! This is my trusty, inexpensive little OLYMPUS FE-115. It has served me well. (Note artistic license eliminated a row of buttons .... shhhhhhhh!)
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.
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.
For the learning challenge. I FINALLY caved. ;) Printed off the free "Friendship Definition" digi kit found at 2 peas: www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/hero-arts/83717-digikit-ha-.... Used it in 2 sizes. Larger for the strip and a smaller size to use with the MS 3 Butterflies punch. Also used Line and Flower DB stamp with Versamark on thee background but it's hard to see in the picture. Notecard, gems and felt flower all HA.
