Spartan Gold Won 2nd Place Again!!!!!!

We attended a Fargo Tournament this past weekend at Oak Grove. Christian's team started the tournament by losing the first game. Then the second game was good and they won! This took us to the second day (Sunday, January 27,2008) they had a game very early morning (8:00am)and won and the second game was not as tough and slid through nicely. These games brought them to the Championship Game. By the afternoon the kids were tired and ready for the tournament to end, but they still had another game and it was a big game. With a strong team in play the team did very well but ended up losing. Second place is a great trophy and they all should be proud. I know the parents are very proud along with the coaches. This Picture is of the team right after the game and I forgot the camera in the car and had to run and run back so I did not know if it focused because all my oxygen was out of my body left in the back seat of the car. I clearly need to do more exercise then what I already do, so I increased the exercise today and now I am walking 15-20 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. I hope this helps the next time I have to run a marathon. (Eric don't cretique until you give me a lesson in April :)

Same with this one. Shoot as fast as you can and then increase the brightness in Photoshop. Not bad. Pro use a 400mm or 500mm IS L f1.8. It's about $7,000 for the lens.

Also, make sure all filters are off the lens. They add 2 stops or more.

Wanda, this one was shot, of course, inside the dome. It's very dark in there so I increased my ISO to 1600 and was was shoting wide open at f5.6 and slightly under 1/250 and 1/300 shutter speed. My focal length was 400mm. But with the image stablization I get 2 to 3 stops more. The bad thing is if you try to enlarge this to an 8X10 you will see noise do the the high ISO of 1600. There is a light blur but no bad. I also up the brightness in Photoshop by about 2 stops.

Craig needs to get a life

Here is a young boy who needs to give a life. Call his phone and you heat the cantenna song from Star Wars. Craig you are beyond the 5th grade and need to update to Crank Dat or Get the Buck out of Here songs and join the rest of the adults.

Jamie and Eric need to get jobs.

Must be nice to be you two and not have to work during the day. To be on the blog as often as you are I wish I had your jobs. Just sit there and be on the computer all day surfing the web, while I am working on snow and iced cover roads helping peoples lives.

Yo, Brett.

The photo of Christian needs improvement. When you are shoting indoors and fast action you need to increase you iso and take all your filters off. Otherwise, you get the exact photo you have on the blog. BLURRRRYYYYY Also, see if you can change the white balance to compensate for the lighting. I.E. set the white balance for Florencent lighting (found in most gyms) and you get a nice pic. Because Boy...you suck.

By the way. What is with the "electric glow of sex" lamp? Is it in the middle of the window at the house?
