Stick Ball on Ross's Landing

Ross's Landing was the original name of Chattanooga, when it was a Cherokee trading post. Now Ross's Landing is a park along the riverfront downtown. This metal mural depicts the Native Americans playing stickball. You can enlarge the plaque below to read about how serious these games were.

Wow! I didn't know that stick ball could be so violent! And that is a cool story about the star sisters. How did they know that star was there if you can only see it by telescope? Weird.

Hey, Meghan! here is a link to a manual camera cheat sheet that I found the other day. I really like it because of the colors. LOL! But I also like it because it makes sense out of all the settings on one page. http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/manual-photography-the-ultimate-cheat-sheet/
I still don't have the f stops and shutter speeds memorized, even though my photography teacher once yelled at me for not knowing the f stops. Ha! So you will really be ahead of the game by memorizing those!
