In Random Order turned 7 today!

A personal photo from 1995 that I have not seen in YEARS! Boy, does it bring back memories! Believe it or not, I actually remember the day this was taken, as it was the day my mother flew my sister and I in to CA to spend the summer of 1995 with Burgess - and we were SO excited (of which I have briefly talked about our summer adventures in a few posts back!) As you can see, by this time he was using a cane - a detail that I had completely forgotten about until now. I think as a child, you really don’t notice things like that. At least I didn’t. All I knew was that I was overjoyed to be back in the care of my “Buzzy”. As I write this another memory popped up! Remind me to tell you guys about the time he actually ran after the ice-cream truck, just missed it, and then literally followed it around town. He truly never missed a beat, cane or no cane - even while solely caring for two rambunctious children for nearly four months.

I’ve never been able to describe what it’s like running in nightmares. This gif is a PERFECT representation!

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers

ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds.

(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)

Yes this!

Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)

And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).

Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).

Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.

Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.

You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.

Not even a little bit.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I’VE EVER LEARNED

This also works very well if you want to photograph the Northern Lights, especially if you have a tripod (since you shouldn’t move it). Below is a pic a friend took with the ISO 800 and shutter speed 10 secs.
