Augsburg's Josh Roberts earns back points on defending national champion Jake Oster (Elmhurst) in the 125-pound finals match of the Great Lakes Regional wrestling tournament on Feb. 2o, 2010. The unranked Roberts defeated the third-ranked Oster by a 8-7 decision. Both wrestlers qualified for the national tournament in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on March 5 and 6.
I shot the following three shots with a medium format Mamiya 645 camera system. I used the following lenses 45mm f/2.8, 80mm f/2.8, 150mm f/4.
The assignment was to shoot a city and what better city to use than the small town of Dundas, Minnesota. Instead of the typical city scenes, I shot along the Cannon River and go some nice landscapes within the city limits.
The first scene is on the river where a spring lets out into the river. The spring is farther up the hill and results in some nice open water.

The second scene is of the walk bridge between the east and west sides of Dundas.

The third scene is with the Archibald Mill.

Tech Specs:
Mamiya 645 with Ilford FP4+ (ASA 125) film. Shots were about f/11, 1/125 at ASA 125. For those that don’t know ASA is the same as ISO speed.
In class yesterday, we were working with ratio (the difference between the true tone of a subject and it’s shadow side). Using a reflector, we filled in the shadow partially. In this case, I had a scrim in front of the hot light directly behind and slightly above the subject and had light bounce back onto the face of the clock.
A clock and a paint brush.
Technical Information:
Canon 30D + 17-85 IS. 1/20, f/6.3, ISO 200, f=85mm. Used a Lowel Omni Light with the barn doors wide open and a scrim in front of it. Relector was silver-color metal (maybe aluminum of some kind).
Big thanks to my “assistants” for this shot: Beth and Amanda.
I shot a few shots of wine glass and a liquor bottle in class today.

While most of my work these days is related to photography, I do have a few other hobbies, one of which is providing support on phpBB.com. phpBB is a forum system, based on a coding language called PHP. As part of that project, I became aware of a smaller, less-well-know forum solution called Vanilla. I wanted to test myself and see if I could create a converter for switching from Vanilla to phpBB3.
Thus, the Vanilla 2 phpBB3 project was born. The project is being hosted by SourceForge and has a numerous features, including a blog. The process of creating the converter will take some time, but it should be worth it in the end.
