Family Worship ... Uncut

Maybe you saw the Family Worship Tool I posted awhile back and wondered, "but how does that really work?" Well, this is how it goes, roughly.

There's a great moment around the 4:20 mark where Rory is trying to lick some egg yolk off his cheek.

The song was on my phone. Usually I try to find a YouTube video with lyrics we can follow.

Granted, the kids were well aware they were being filmed, so there is a bit of fake to this video. But you'll get the idea. Enjoy.

Learning Star Photography

So we went to stargaze in Slim Buttes, a category 1 dark site. Super dark. But I was pretty disappointed with the pictures I got. So I stayed up too late to learn more about it and play around at home. Looking forward to getting back out to the Buttes to make another stab at it. This is what I got here at home using the "500 rule." It has something to do with dividing the number 500 by your focal length. I was using a 50mm lens, so the exposure time was supposed to be 10 seconds. This rule ensures you get stars that look like actual pinpoints of light, and avoids the rotation of the earth issue. And this is what I learned how to do by stitching together multiple shots in Photoshop to show "star trails, the path of the stars across the sky due to the earth's rotation. So the opposite effect of the shot above. Looking forward to doing a lot more of these in the future with some cooler foreground options and less light pollution. I was pretty excited with what I go...

We didn't run into any tribal skirmishes on our drive from South Florida to South Dakota, but we did have some engine trouble. Engine failure actually. After three days and approximately 1,000 miles of hard immigration--first leg from Ft. Lauderdale to Dothan, AL; second from Dothan to West Plains, MO; third from West Plains to Sioux Falls, SD--we made it about 5 miles before I said to Amy, "I'm going to have to pull over." Five hours later, we left Sioux Falls in a new used car. At least this one has snow tires and 4-wheel drive. If you've never driven I-90 across the state o...
