<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set your camera on a steady surface, preferably a tri-pod.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Put your camera on Manual Mode</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set your ISO to 200</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set your Shutter Speed to 10 seconds (looks like 10")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set your aperture to f22</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turn your camera's timer on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Focus on your tree and hit the shutter button to take the picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't move the camera or tri-pod.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This exposure takes 10 seconds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get more of a golden glow, turn up your ISO to 600 or 1000, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the same settings above (tri-pod, f 22, 10 second exposure, ISO 500ish)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Zoom In close to your tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hit the shutter button to take the picture AND</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Slowly and very gently zoom your lens out all the way during exposure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And This!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, using the same settings as above, move your tri-pod closer to your tree so that you only see a small section of it through the viewfinder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hit the shutter button and slowly rotate the whole camera from horizontal to vertical.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(on my tri-pod I have to hold in a button to allow the camera rest to move from landscape to portrait)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Andrew and Rachel Jackson</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Andrew Jackson was born March 15, 1767 in North Carolina. His father died 3 days before his birth. Jackson, at age 13, ran around battle fields as a courier for the military. At the time, no one knew the woods and land better then the young boys of the town. His mother died of Cholera, contracted from helping at a military hospital and brother died of heat stroke during the war, leaving him an orphan by the age of 14. He apprenticed with an attorney and got his law degree. Soon after he moved to TN. He met and married his sweetheart, Rachel Donelson. Rachels father cofounded Fort Nashborough in 1780, which would eventually become the city of Nashville, Tennessee.</div>

Andrew and Rachel bought land and built a log home on it. Below is their original home (left) and a slave cabin (right).</div>

The Jackson's began getting involved in State and Local politics and needed a more suitable place to entertain. In 1819, the two story Greek Revival home was built. Today <span style="font-family: 'Times Roman', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px;">The Hermitage is reputedly our nation’s most authentically preserved early presidential home site. The museum </span><span face="" style="font-family: 'Times Roman', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">includes original artwork, furniture, textiles, personal items, wallpapers, and much more.</span> </div>

I was thinking about all of the gifts we gave to each other and how many of them are still getting used or are just as exciting today as the day we received them. Dennis got me three things that were homerun's for sure and I use them every single day.<div> 1: A beautiful silver bracelet. 2. A coffee bean grinder. 3.

I thought about doing a little work in the yard to get rid of the rest of the fall leaves, but it began to rain. Shucks. So instead I whipped up a batch of Broccoli Cheese Soup and it was yummy!<br />
<br />
Here's how.....<br />
<br />
Gather your ingredients: Whole Milk, Half and Half, Butter, Broccoli, Cheddar Cheese, Onion, Salt and Pepper and Nutmeg<br />

Take pictures of the pretty apples and tangerines on the counter top. Oh wait, you don't have to do that. Your soup will turn out just fine if you don't.<br />

Here is the very important part. V E R Y I M P O R T A N T!!! Turn the heat off. Let your soup base cool down some. THEN stir in your 3 cups of shredded Cheddar Cheese. Bring the heat back up a little so the cheese begins to melt. The key is LOW and SLOW. Low heat and slowly add cheese allowing it to melt. If your soup base is too hot, your cheese proteins will separate and you'll have ugly, gritty cheese. YUCK. - I did not know to do that....see the boiling bubbles in my soup. That is bad!<br />

The cheese melted all right, but we had gritty soup. It tasted just fine, but now I know better the next time I make it.<br />

No, not because I am ready for Christmas. Not at all. It is because we at the Minniear household LOVE FOOTBALL and being football season, it is the most wonderful time of the year around here!<br />
Two of our boys, Logan and Isaiah play football for their school teams. Isaiah is in the 7th grade and plays for the Dragons and Logan is in 10 grade and plays for the Knights.<br />
Right now, we have 4 football games a week. Yep, 4. Four. Quatro. Good thing we love it!<br />
Here is what my week looks like every week.......<br />
Monday - Logan plays a JV game, Isaiah has practice<br />
Tuesday - Isaiah plays an A squad game, Logan has practice<br />
Wednesday - both boys have practice<br />
Thursday - Isaiah play a B squad game, Logan has practice<br />
Friday - Logan plays the Varsity game, Isaiah has practice.<br />
Whew! Saturday we watch Ohio State Football and Sunday we watch the Colts.<br />
Then we start our week all over again!<br />
Here are some photos from a few of our games in the last month. Oh, did I mention, I shoot the JV and Middle School games too? <br />

Over the 4th of July week we traveled down to Branson Missouri for our annual Lake Vacation.<br />
Here are the boys in the car, 40 miles to go!<br />

Have you seen these words all over Newburgh? It is written on the windshields of cars. It’s spelled out with cups in the fence of Castle High School. It’s all over Facebook and more. If you don’t have a student at Castle, you may not know who Payton is. Payton Kalb is going to be a Junior at Castle High School. Two weeks ago she was driving to cheerleading practice at 6:15 a.m. and was struck by a semi truck on SR 66. By the grace of God she survived the crash. She was taken to St. Mary’s hospital, then immediately air lifted to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a quote from her mom detailing Payton’s injuries:</span></div><div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-size: 9.8pt;">So with a displaced fracture in her jaw, every ligament in her neck torn, 10 days post occipital spine surgery, no speaking voice due to damaged vocal cords (hopefully temporary), bruised lungs, multiple fractures in her pelvis and tail bone, a broken tibia, very limited movement on her left side, and many other bruises and cuts...She says "I'm really doing well". I saw that and just Praised The Lord!!! </span></span> “</span></div><div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don’t personally know Payton or her family, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border-collapse: separate; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">Sean and Kristie Georges are her parents.

I was super busy all weekend, so I really did not have time to put my feet up, drink coffee and read books. I had to shoot a <a href="http://jodiemphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/sneak-peek-for-tyler-castle-senior.html">senior</a> on Friday and a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2076939368970.126910.1409555459">golf scramble</a> on Saturday. Scrapbooking and dinner with some dear friends, <a href="http://scooperstuff.blogspot.com/">Stephanie</a> and <a href="http://www.gemcitybeadco.com/">Andrea</a> on Friday as well. Saturday my Indy friends <a href="http://kickisup.blogspot.com/">Mark and Lori</a> and their boys were in town for soccer and took me to dinner at a quaint Newburgh restaurant on the river. Sunday a double shift at the connection center at church and lots of photo editing and grass cutting. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The guys left on Thursday afternoon after school. They headed to Northern Michigan to for the annual Minniear Morel Mushroom Hunting Weekend. Two friends went along, Carlos and Bo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They were a little early, season wise. They found plenty of mushrooms, however, they were the blacks and not the yellows that they prefer. But guy time was fun and they all had a great time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are some photos of them packing up and heading out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Photography at its very beginning was neither instant, color or very comfortable. Here are 3 things you probably didn't know about what photo fans had to go through at first.<br />
<br />
The first photography process available out there required people to <b>stand still for 10 to 20 minutes</b> in order to obtain a proper exposure and have their photo taken. It was going on around the year 1840.<br />
<br />

People had access to <b>color photography</b> well before it was actually invented. How come? No magic was involved. After the black and white images were printed, specially trained experts were <b>coloring them by hand</b>, using a brush. It was a very complex and detailed process and only very skillful persons were able to do it.<br />

For almost 50 years after its invention, photography remained a luxury accessible to few people. It was George Eastman who introduced the flexible film in 1884 and turned photography into a hobby for all. The same Eastman invented the popular brand Kodak. (pictured below is the Kodak Brownie camera)<br />

Here in southern Indiana, as in many places in the mid-west we have seen our fair share of rain during the month of April and already 5 inches have fallen the first 2 days of May. I went to downtown to the Old Newburgh Lock and Dam to see the swollen Ohio River and walk along it banks. I was amazed at the amount of water there is. I did not take my camera, but I had my cell phone. So come along with me and see what I saw.....<br />
<br />
<br />
The water is normally quite a distance from that park bench.<br />

This is a view of the boat ramp. Normally there is a driveway just before that leaning pine tree where you exit with your boat trailer. To the right of that leaning pine tree is a huge parking lot and the ramp, now underwater.<br />
