Amy: The sharks got who? 
Rory: The sharks got them. 
Amy: The sharks got WHO? 
Rory: The sharks got Adam and Eve. 
Amy: Oh...Really? 
Rory: Yeah. They were at the beach and the sharks ate their surfboards. And they sunk. 
Amy: Oh no. Did they drown? 
Rory: Yeah. But they had lifejackets.
Amy: So they didn't drown? 
Rory: They DID drown. But they had goggles on. 
Amy: So the goggles kept them from drowning?

Amy: So they drowned. But they didn't get water in their eyes. 
Rory: Yeah. 
Amy: Man. What a bad way to go.

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...
