The Video: In Which I See Shadow Snakes
(Sorry… I’m watching the Horatio Hornblower series again… and my phrases are becoming very 18th Century…) So this is the video from my handheld camera which becomes painfully obvious quite quickly. Totality has just struck, in my enthusiasm I’ve punched the power button on and off TWICE. My DSLR which was to have chugged along…
What a Memory! (aka Total Solar Eclipse 2017)
Pull out the thesaurus and find some new, descriptive words. Stunning. Gorgeous. Fabulous. Awe-inspiring. Breathtaking. Wondrous. Moving. It was all of those and many more. The 2017 Wyoming Version of the Total Solar Eclipse was GREAT. Oh, sure, there were some glitches in my photography… my GoPro gave me some trouble… which is VERY FRUSTRATING…
Eclipse Preparations
Checklist for tomorrow… Cameras, tripods, water, chargers, eclipse glasses, solar filter, pinhole viewer, selfie cards, solar paper, water, food, schedule, hat, lawn chairs, shade, water, snacks, bubbles, white cardboard, water… I’ve double-checked the charge on my cameras, I’m taking three… I have extra glasses in case some child pokes a hole in theirs… I have…
Time Lapse: Checking Cows
We checked cows and spread salt today… and I made my third time lapse video. It is very jumpy and too fast (even though I slowed it down) but I believe you will get the context of our day. I’ve only one more day to practice before the eclipse! Argh! NOTE: Vimeo failed to convert…
Wyoming Eclipse Weekend
It’s finally here! Wyoming is rolling out the red carpet for thousands of visitors for the solar eclipse on Monday. Every town has “something” going on… We aren’t in the totality, but we’ve seen an increase in traffic! Here, Ten Sleep Brewery has created a Blackout Porter for the occasion, though I didn’t try it,…
#TBT: A Load
This is quite the load of hay… No date.
Wordless Wednesday – “Jackpot”
Did I ever properly introduce you to Jackpot??? Jackpot Puzzle
Filtered
I keep seeing friends sharing photos that have been filtered through the Prisma app. I had to join in. My favorite (newest) photo of Brandon using different filters…
Second Time Lapse
Second time lapse. I was guessing at the direction and angle… since my GoPro doesn’t have a screen and it wouldn’t talk to my iPad, this is what I managed to capture. Although it’s not bad, I certainly would have framed it differently if I’d had an idea of what it was filming… More Sky!…
Fail/Fail
The countdown is continuing for the Total Solar Eclipse… One thing I wanted to do for it was have a time lapse of the landscape. That meant pulling out my sadly neglected GoPro and trying to figure it out AGAIN. It gave me nothing but frustration the first few times I’ve tried it, but it…
Gallivanting
While I was off gallivanting with other Wyoming librarians… my family was still working on the ranch… moving cattle this time! It was another exposure for the little boys to help ride and work. I think they loved it! (and I’m sorry I missed it) (photos shamelessly stolen from Megan and Tess)
