<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A few days ago I went to the East Broad Top railroad in
Rockhill, PA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a, now, out of
service railroad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is what is called a
narrow scale railroad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can check up
on the history of everything but basically railway width is based off of what
the width of the horse's rear, and the wheels of a chariot would be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The EBT is pretty much decommissioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is likely no resurgence in its
future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's a sad thing too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I went on an outing with several other
photographers to check it out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While
there were many more photographs to take, than what I took, I couldn't really
bring myself to shoot everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know
that this sounds ridiculous with digital photography being much cheaper than
film and all, BUT! the reason I didn't is because I figured that everyone was
shooting the whole scene.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn't
really want to shoot the same photographs as fifteen other photographers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I chose to shot the day with less than twenty
photographs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are a few that I
enjoyed out of that twenty. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I do an eBay search for a guitar every week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The guitar I'm looking for belonged to my
friend that passed away 11 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I'm not looking for the same model or the same make, but rather his
guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been unable to for the
entirety of the time I have looked for the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some reason in December , I decided to
type into the search, Jackson Randy Rhoads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I first started playing guitar, I had a JC Penny special, then a
Peavey Predator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The predator was basically
a budget USA strat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was nice, but it
wasn't until I received a Jackson Randy Rhoads EX Pro that I felt that I had a
"good" guitar.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I moved away from home I ended up with another Randy
Rhoads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a black one and a white
one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still, to this day, remember the
serial numbers of each.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when I typed
into the search bar on eBay, and I saw the guitar that I used to own, not the
same model, but rather, MY old guitar, I put a joke bid on it to win it...and
sure enough, I did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I sold the
guitar years ago, it was for rent and security deposit on an apartment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It did bum me out but I enjoyed the white
Rhoads more, so that's why I sold the black one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Here are the pictures of it from eBay. You can see that it has seen better days. I did not take these photographs, again, they are from the listing. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My son has been asking me to play an "orange"
jammer for awhile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don't have an
orange jammer, so I decided to paint the black Rhoads, with base coat/clear
coat finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose an orange color
that Honda used on the Fit and the Element.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The process of refinishing a guitar is a long one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It isn't something to decide to do on a whim
(like I did).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You really need to have
the time set aside for the work and a space to do it in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to do it without either of them! </span></div>

removed the strings, neck, pickups and hardware from the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to clean the hardware because it was
terribly corroded. After removing all of the hardware, it was time to get ready to sand it and repair the body damage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I then sanded the guitar body with 80 grit paper. From there I used Bondo body filler to repair the damaged fins. After the repairs set up, I used 120, 220, 320 and 400 grit paper to sand the guitar smooth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">I was thinking of what pickups I wanted to use in this guitar. I've always liked Seymour Duncan pickups and I've had a particular fondness for the distortion and the jazz combo. I was unable to locate a distortion trembucker in stock, so I decided to try out the "dimebucker." </span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I initially tried to use clear coat as a sanding sealer, but there was a big problem after I tried to use the primer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The primer was lifting off of the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See in guitar refinishing typically a sanding sealer/grain filler is used on the guitar, then sanded smooth, then the primer is applied, then the base coat, and finally, the clear coat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spoke to one luthier who uses clear coat as a sanding sealer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The products I used must have been incompatible in that fashion.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I had to sand the guitar...again...yuck!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So again with 80, 120, 220, 320 and 400 grit paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that, I applied 3 coats of primer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that, I wet sanded the body with 600.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a few spots where I sanded through, so I again sprayed primer on the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used 2 more total coats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would say that I sanded off 1-2 coats so that would leave 3 coats on the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Here is the guitar wet sanded with the primer (I chose red primer to really make my orange pop a little more).</span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
After the clear coat set up, it was time to polish it. I was lucky to have no orange peel. I soaked some 1500 grit in soapy water and began wet sanding the finish of the guitar. I could've been a lot more aggressive but I was concerned with sanding through the finish on the guitar, into the color...which would've been really...really...really crappy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
After using the 1500 wet, I used 2000 wet, then a rubbing compound, a polishing compound and a scratch remover. I wish I had an electric buffer, because I could've gotten the finish a lot better.</div>
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I had to wire the guitar up. Stupid me, instead of wiring the parts with the wiring outside of the guitar, I did it INSIDE the guitar...there's not much room to work in a Rhoads that doesn't have a front loaded pick guard, as you can see here. </div>

One step that I don't want to forget, and I did AFTER I had the guitar wired (stupid me again lol!) I had to tape off the whole guitar, because I wanted to spray the trem route with black.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still need to pick up a new jack plate, switch tip, and black knob. I'm currently waiting for the lacquer to completely harden so I can polish it one more time. I got some dings and marks in it by playing with it before it was completely hardened. Hate to see it happen to a rookie :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the process of working on the guitar, I ruined my glasses. I ruined high-index digimax lenses from America's Best...a $264 mistake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is my story, yes I got an orange guitar and it's nostalgic because I used to own it years ago. I'm more than likely the only one on the planet with a Jackson Rhoads EX that is painted Orange Revolution Metallic. However, let's talk about the total damages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
$182.50 for the guitar (good price! Seeing as how when I sold it...I sold it for $650 however many years ago). $105 in paint and sand paper. $29 for rubbing compounds and bondo. $150 for the pickups, and $264 for my eye glass lenses. I'll include the $10 that strings cost, only because when you buy a new guitar, you usually get new strings...at least if the music store is worth a crap you will! Oh and then $30 for new electronics inside the instrument...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Total damage? $770.50</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can certainly tell you this...I did NOT plan on wrapping up that much money or time into the guitar. It would've been cheaper had I not bought so much paint (I could've saved $30-40), or sand paper (realistically you don't need as much as I bought, so another $20-30), if I wasn't an idiot and didn't ruin my lenses, I could've saved MORE money on my glasses lenses (264). In reality, I should've been into this project for LESS than $450.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At $450 for a custom painted guitar with excellent pickups and electronics, this is a DEAL. At almost 800? Not so much. However, my kid is happy that I have an "orange jammer" and I'm happy I have a guitar that I never did want to sell, but had to when I was young.</div>

It's not for a lack of shooting though (photo heavy episode of the blog :P). I wanted to get on here and post a handful of the recent photographs for you to enjoy. I've gotten the last of the details I need to gather for the new website together, and will be sending them in to the designer soon. Just so you know, because I don't want it to seem like it is the designer, this hold up is 100% me.<br />

Here's a handful of the recent photographs (from the last post to now)<br />

How I love the beautiful colors of fall, but I dislike the winter coming. It seems like only yesterday that we had snow in our driveway.<br />
<br />
In July, I was so lucky as to photograph the wedding of a close friend, and one that I consider family, Pat Johnston and his (now) wife Jeannette.<br />
<br />
I have known Patrick for several years, as he has been my judo coach for several of them, and a friend for almost all that I've known him. I'm not going to lie, I don't think he particularly liked me when we first met, however we grew to become friends. He and the rest of the Dignans really took me under their wing and helped me grow as a person, and I owe a lot of my thanks in life to them. It will almost be 1 year (August 21st) that I had the pleasure of Patrick Johnston, and Jim and Jason Dignan promoting me to my black belt in judo.<br />
<br />
With all of that said, I consider myself lucky to be the photographer for his wedding.<br />
<br />
I had a fantastic time photographing Patrick and Jeannette's wedding, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness and love. Here's just a few quick photographs from the day.<br />

<br />
I will get back to regular posting here before long. I've still been photographing events and everything, but with my summer classes, my "blog" time has been cut back (I still have to have time to edit photographs and take them! If I'm writing about all of them, I won't be able to take all of them! lol).<br />
<br />
I hope you can enjoy these photographs, and I hope you too can wish my family by proxy, Pat and Jeannette a wonderful future.Rob Lynn Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347941616618764353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706060775930365317.post-84509786642974377562013-07-02T16:38:00.004-07:002013-07-02T16:38:56.534-07:00Summit BoosterThis year brought the second annual Penn Cambria Golf Booster. It's a really great outing where teams compete and raise money for the golf team (I'm not sure if that is the correct wording). <br />
<br />
I have been a tee sponsor for each year, and also the photographer for the event as well. I enjoy helping out a good cause, and I think helping the kids get their golf equipment/shirts and things like that is a good cause. While I make jokes about golf sometimes, I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone that can accurately nail a ball and send it to where they are aiming. There are so many factors in the accuracy of a shot, that it really is a true feat to be a good golfer.<br />
<br />
Here is the gallery for the photographs of the day, <br />
<a href="http://roblynn.smugmug.com/Events/Cresson-Golf-Booster-2013/30293171_kpfFnp#!i=2609173369&k=B9C5rDR" target="_blank">Cresson Summit Booster</a><br />
<br />
This year, I am making the photographs available in a different way than I did last year. Last year, I just handed out 4x6's, and people could order whatever they wanted. Rather than hand out the photographs, this is what I'm doing this year. The photographs are free to download for personal use. Personal use means anything that isn't news or money earning (e.g., you cannot sell the photographs). <br />
<br />
I am also making the same photographs available for sale. Why buy a photograph when you can download it for free? Well that answer is simple, from every sale that is as a result of the Cresson Summit Golf Booster that took place on July 1st 2013 (I am also going to set up a link to the previous year's gallery and do the same thing), I will make a donation of 25% of the profits of the sale to the Penn Cambria Booster.<br />
<br />
I also lowered the print prices, lower than my standard rates, that way ordering a few prints doesn't cost the friends/families as much, and I'll still be making a donation.<br />
<br />
For example, if there is $100 in profits that arise from sales, $25 will be donated to the booster. Also, for anyone that orders, I will make available proof/confirmation that indeed a donation was made. If no sales are made, the amount will be $0.00 (25 percent of nothing is nothing). So there you have it, you can make a purchase with a percentage going towards the Penn Cambria golfers, or you can download for free. I will include instructions on how to download the photographs, <br />

I definitely am not doing so and I hope you will see that I am just proud of a recent accomplishment.<br />
<br />
I belong to a photo club and they hold a yearly print competition. I enter photographs into all of the categories but the ones I like the most are still life and portraits, with portraits being my favorite.<br />
<br />
The two photographs that took first and second place in the people portion of the competition are here;<br />

While it is not the first time that I have received either good comments, awards, or a pleased client out of a photograph, it was my first time entering a self portrait into a competition. A lot of people think that photographers aren't nervous on the other side of a camera, but I definitely am. So when I see a client that is nervous of having their photograph taken, I have so walked a mile in those shoes.<br />
<br />
The only reason I put a photograph of myself into the competition was because I needed another print to go to the maximum of 5 between all of the categories. At the end of the year, scores are tabulated, and while I think it is silly, end of the year ratings are based upon the total of all of your scores. So conceivably, you could not place 1st, 2nd or even 3rd in any of the categories, but still end up with the highest total of the year. While this scenario is highly unlikely both based upon the talent of the other photographers in the competition, and also the math is against it, it doesn't rule it out. For that reason alone, you're better off putting in a photograph that you think will score even 5 or 10 points, rather than not put one in.<br />
<br />
That's exactly why I tossed a photo of yours truly into the mix. I honestly didn't think it was going to do well, and when I got the news, I was so excited to tell the model that we placed, because she also suggested that I submit it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I will have photographs from my most recent trip to Florida here shortly, and also photographs from the golf booster here shortly.<br />
<br />
Until then, take care!Rob Lynn Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347941616618764353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706060775930365317.post-29867342338002767792013-06-17T07:01:00.001-07:002013-06-17T07:01:13.592-07:00Carrie FurnaceHello all, I know it's been a month and for that I apologize. I've been busy busy busy! This summer has been rough, as I am currently pursuing my degree in business management. I've been deep into the books and working to complete this as fast as I can.<br />
<br />
Every blog post I write on this feels like it will probably be the last one as my new site will be launching any time. I've just got to get some time that I can meet up with the designers and finalize some things. That whole time thing...if only there were some extra hours in a day.<br />
<br />
Just recently I went on a photo outing and we went to the Carrie Furnace. The Carrie Furnace is an abandoned mill that has been in various stages of disrepair since prior to WWII (I believe). I wanted to work on photos that were a bit different than the group and I really wanted to come back with some different products. Tony Sweet's words "Visual irony" are stuck in my head.<br />

My son, Erik, just turned two. Here are a few pictures from his little party that we had at the inlaws. My wife had an awesome cake made by one of her friends, for Erik. I'm told it's pretty common for young boys to enjoy choo choo trains. As you can see from his toy, cake, shirt, hat and if you could see, his shoes...he loves "Tommy".<br />

A program is how I know who to find, and let them know that I shot photos of them.<br />
<br />
The show was VFL 39, Revolution of Combat. A great night of fights in Virginia. I think I'm back in Virginia in April.<br />
<br />
I met a couple cool people there too. This official that I photographed, my friend mistakenly thought was a fighter. Couldn't blame my friend though, it was his first show that he was at, and this dude drove up in his vehicle, branded with his kick boxing school, and to boot, the guy doesn't exactly look like a slouch either. <br />
Met another photographer, and a photo/videographer too. The photographer, I didn't get to chat much with. T he photo/videographer I did get to speak with. He is a brown belt in Judo, and he and I spoke at length about Judo and equipment. Good night of action and communication.<br />
<br />
Sorry this is kind of rushed, I've got a pile of paperwork to take care of. I just wanted to get these photographs up for you to check out, and the link for the fighters/families to purchase if they want them. <br />
<br />
Here's a couple quick pictures from the night, and the link for the full gallery to purchase photographs. Please do not download, crop or edit without permission. Thank you.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On March 2nd 2013 Complete Devastation MMA had its 8th show
at the Blair County Convention Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is the last show with the (now) previous owner, Jason Davis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Davis has sold the company to pursue other
business interests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since Jason is a
friend of mine, it was a little bittersweet seeing him sell the promotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He always took great care of the fighters and
workers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will prove interesting
working with the new owner *(whom I met and he seems incredibly nice and wonderful
for the job), at the same time though, it is nice that Jason is doing something
else that he enjoys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Best wishes to him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The night of fights was a good night of action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The matchmaker, Ryan Glunt, did a great job
of putting the fights together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
was a bunch of my training partner/teammates on the card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use the term loosely, because I don't train
day in and day out like they do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I've
got more of a traditional martial-arts background (I could write an entry on
this) but I do go in there and get on the mats from time to time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the same fight team/school where I
received my black belt in Judo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
group is like a family and the fighters, even if I don't see them a lot, are like
an extended family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were five guys
from the school on the card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of
them, even if they lost, had good performances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">During the night there was one controversy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The referee stopped a match between Jason
Royer and Doug Haupt, and the crowd wasn't pleased.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What happened was Royer took Haupt to the
ground, and Haupt went to lock up Royer's neck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When they hit the mat, Royer's head spiked
the canvas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The referee said that he
asked Royer to give him a thumbs up if he was okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The referee said after the third time of
asking, he stopped the fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bill, the
ref, told me that he was concerned when Royer didn't respond after Royer had
just spiked his head off of the canvas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He didn't want to find out Royer had broken his neck AND was being
choked at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Royer was
visibly upset, as he popped right up and protested the stoppage and was no
worse for wear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm not exactly sure if
they can restart a fight or not, or what procedure they could even use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm sure it sucks for Royer, because I've
seen him in the gym putting the hours in, and I know that he trained hard to
fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The referee though, has to look
out for the fighters and I assume they have to assume the worst has happened in
a situation like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fact the
Royer isn't hurt and can live to fight another day is something that I feel is
great and I hope that he makes his appearance again soon...though I feel bad
for the person who fights.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I think that is enough of me rambling on and on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So here are the photographs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As usual, please ask permission before
posting online at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means fight

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">(Read on for a secondary rant).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">UFC photographer, Josh Hedges, recently wrote a piece about
the lighting in the events he shoots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
said that the UFC is consistent venue to venue and country to country with his
settings varying 1/3 stop or so at most.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He also said that his settings were f/2.8, ISO3200, 1/2000 of a setting
with a custom white balance of 3400.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would honestly shoot a show for 1/2 of what I charge to
get those settings at a show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The show I
shot on the 2nd was f/2.8, ISO3200-25600, 1/500 with an "I give up"
custom white balance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His lighting is
even and consistent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lighting I was
working is, is varied and inconsistent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I'm used to this, after shooting a pile of shows...it just makes me so
jealous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The files would look INFINITELY
cleaner at ISO 3200 than at 25600, and the shutter speeds of 1/2000?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow...just wow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am pleased when I can get 1/640....If I was
able to get 1/2000?!?!?!?!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think I
would do a back flip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other bonus
about that even light with that much quantity is that the auto focus of the
camera works even better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
dungeons I have shot in, the auto focus isn't always spot on...even on the most
recent camera bodies from either major manufacturer (I shoot Canon).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When there is more light, there is more for
the camera to work with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>*sigh* a guy
can dream, right?</span></div>

<span lang="EN">1/19/2013 Jaffa Shrine, VFL MMA came back to Altoona to bring on an action packed night of kick boxing, boxing and MMA. The VFL promoter, Lionel, is a long time boxing trainer, so it isn’t uncommon to see some boxing matches at his shows. At this show there was 1 ammy Thai bout, then 2 pro boxing bouts, followed by a mixed card of ammy vs. pro MMA bouts.<br />
<br />
The opening bout were the youngsters in the Thai bout. Roman Taylor KO Luke Hess in the 2<sup>nd</sup>.</span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/drew.danuski"></a><br />
<span lang="EN">
</span><br />
They brought out an Altoona boxing favorite Spoon to fight Rocky Burch. The fight was ruled a draw, much to the chagrin of the crowd where many felt Spoon did enough to win the decision.<br />

<span lang="EN"></span><br />
The second boxing bout was between PA’s Andres Taylor and Harvey Jolly. Jolly took a majority decision. Depending on who you spoke with during the evening their feelings on the decision were mixed. <br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />
<span lang="EN">
</span><br />
There’s been a divide between boxing and MMA fans. I feel that the pace of MMA has largely taken something away from the boxing fan base. However; MMA stands for mixed-martial-arts. While boxing isn’t exactly thought of as a “martial art”, I would certainly say that it is an art and it is included in MMA (many MMA fighters have boxing backgrounds or whatever). A similar comparison would be this. I dislike watching college wrestling. However, wrestling is in MMA, and a big part of it. The included and excluded aspects of the sport could be what sways fans. <br />

<span lang="EN">
The evening opened with ammy MMA. Ryan Everhart defeated Jordan Haslerig in the 2<sup>nd</sup>. The Dr. stopped the fight due to cuts.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/drew.danuski"></a><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">A female MMA fight featured Rachel Gray who defeated Melanie Bremer.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">In a match between Curtis Link and Nick Kerr, Curtis link surprised the hell out of a lot of people with a triangle choke. Nick was a huge aggressor in the fight but Curtis, who you can’t count out, seen an opening and took it.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/drew.danuski"></a><br />
Brandon Lux defeated Scott Athey in the 3<sup>rd</sup>, his corner tossed in the towel. Scott has one thing that you can’t teach, and that’s heart. He absorbed one hell of a beating but came out to each round without hesitation.<a href="http://www.facebook.com/drew.danuski"></a><br />
<span lang="EN">
</span><br />
Roman Swaner fought Paul Riggleman, and in between rounds the fight was stopped do to injury to Riggleman’s ribs.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />
<span lang="EN">
</span><br />
The opening Pro MMA bout had Cory Propanz against Matt Dean. Propanz waited and baited Dean with a Triangle in Rd 1.<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/drew.danuski"></a><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">Altoona’s own Brett Shoenfelt scored a beautiful first round submission over Bobby Ferrier.</span><br />
<br />
In the co-main of the evening Eli Garshnick defeated Donald Crawford Jr in the first via submission. After the fight Donald was quoted as saying that he thought Eli was going to stand with him. A experienced fighter in the group asked him if he did any research at all on Eli and asked him why he thought he would’ve stood and brawled.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />
<span lang="EN">
</span><br />
In the main event of the evening, Holidaysburg’s own Charlie Brenneman defeated Eric Irvin in the 2<sup>nd</sup> by RNC. It was an exciting bout where Eric was having some luck on the feet (but to be fair, Charlie was as well) but as soon as Charlie wanted the fight to be fought horizontally rather than vertically, it was on the ground. Once on the ground Charlie maintained position, and worked “dirty wrestling” (my term for superior position allowing you to drop short punches and elbows AKA like dirty boxing) and punished Eric. The momentum he was able to generate in such a short space was remarkable as there were audible thuds when his strikes connected. <br />

Thanks for reading and be sure to check back for my CPWC photos in Feb, and CDMMA photos in March.</span><br />

It was a great show in a packed house, and it hosted the first female fight in this region. Previously, the closest female MMA fight was a bit over two hours away, and it was in a place that held maybe 3-400 people. So this got some positive exposure for WMMA. <br />
<br />
In the locker room I try to get some photographs of the fighters getting their hands wrapped, and their expressions. This is run and gun stuff, but I take off camera flash everywhere with me, even if it's just one. Without using reflectors, or multiple lights, there was no way to get the light I wanted on his face, without blowing the highlights out. It's okay though. <br />

It seems that fighters are always attracted to my position in the cage and end up right in front of me. I was very lucky that the focus systems of my cameras were able to get the finish here. This has to be one of the tighted RNC's I've seen.</div>

Again, there's always a loser when you have a winner. Brett is a talented kid who trains at the school I attend. Noe is a friend of mine. He's one of the nicest dudes you'll meet and he's my first good MMA portrait. He had a hard fought battle against Brett. It was a good fight. Difficult to watch a training partner and a friend fight each other. They had much respect for each other though.</div>

<br />In the main event, another training partner (and friend) Charlie fought against Tyler. There was a lot of hype for this fight, and Tyler did very well against Charlie. The bad blood before the bought seems to have been quashed after the bout. That's something I like about the sport. 99/100 times it seems that if two dudes dislike each other before the fight, they respect each other after the fight.</div>

Well I sort of put it off for awhile, then awhile longer, and here we are at the end of November looking at it. <br />
<br />
I still have to write part 3 of the Pittsburgh trip blog (I'll take care of it this week).<br />
<br />
Well I almost forgot about writing anything about this until I was recently asked about it (the promotion in general then that discussion branched out further). I started training in Judo at the very end of 2004. I've had some training injuries over the years. Anyone who has known me for any length of time has made mention of it a few times...that basically, you should just quit.<br />
<br />
I've met a lot of great, and even some not so great people over the years in Judo and JuJitsu. I've obtained a new outlook on some subjects that I otherwise would have not been exposed to. Yes, I've hurt myself training. Much the same as a football player or a wrestler may injure themselves as well. Both physically and mentally. With that said my decision to stick Judo out was a difficult one. I will not lie, there was a point where I had resigned myself to the fact I would probably not continue on.<br />
<br />
One thing I've learned is that in almost every single martial art, and in almost every single school there's some sort of drama going on. At my old school someone wanted to play mother hen to all of nature's derelicts and in doing so committed a betrayal against his business partner and all of the students there. It was at that point that I left. I had been planning on "transferring" (I'll explain that) but that was the final push I needed. (On the transfer I just mean it like this. I trained at both schools anyway, but one more than the other. I planned on switching that, but it was the above situation that had me respond by going to the other school altogether).<br />
<br />
The new school is one of the most respected Judo families in PA. Patrick Johnston and Jim Dignan were my direct coaches. I've worked out with Jason Dignan before they went full on MMA, and even after in MMA but during our Judo classes, he was mainly teaching the MMA classes at the same time. (he has a large MMA class 4 nights a week)<br />
<br />
If you've made it to this point in my 'essay', I appreciate it. I understand it's a bit of rambling.<br />
<br />
Pat had seen how I was at my brown belt and not continuing. That wasn't good enough for him. He pushed me to continue my studies with him and Jim for my black belt. I've been asked before why I continue Judo/Jujitsu and the only answers I really can say are, "why not?" To me it's more than throws and joint locks. It's more than Japanese words and pyjamas. Even when you're not on the mat, you can benefit from the principles of Judo.<br />
<br />
In the book "The Canon Of Judo" written by Kyuzo Mifune 5 main points and 7 principles are listed.<br />
<br />
"Five main points<br />
1. Only the actions of a flexible mind and body can defeat strength and rigidity....<br />
2.Display the most dynamic energy in the worst situation...<br />
3. Negligence is the equivalent of lacking fixed principles...<br />
4.Never hold to a fixed idea, exist in a selfless state...<br />
5. Never make light of trivial matters, instead have a faithful heart."<br />
<br />
And <br />
"Seven Disciplines<br />
1. Avoid falsehood in spirit.<br />
2.Do not lose confidence.<br />
3. Correct your posture.<br />
4. Be swift.<br />
5. Use your power without restraint.<br />
6. Do not neglect your training. <br />
7.Discipline yourself.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you think of these, not just in the martial terms but also in spiritual terms you can see how these apply to life in general.<br />
<br />
Two other statements are integral to Judo as well.<br />
Seiryoku zen yo (Maximum efficiency through minimum effort) and Jita kyoei (Mutual welfare and benefit). Those two statements are pretty self explanatory.<br />
<br />
I don't want to get into the origins of Judo and everything in between. If you're really interested in that, check out judoinfo.com or even wiki it.<br />
<br />
With that said, Judo is an important part of my life even if I'm not training the techniques of Judo. The same thing with the principles of Bushido. They are important to me as well. On principle one of the most difficult things that I've accomplished was being able to call myself a student of Judo. There's a misconception that a black belt is a mastery of an art. It is not. It's the start of the journey. Thank you Pat, Jim and Jason for getting me there. I expect to be humbled by Pat MANY more times...especially since we've got a black belt in JuJitsu to get to.<br />

There's a cool way to fold your gi where you can loop your belt over your shoulder to carry the whole rig, but for a photo, I like this much more.<br />

I spent some time walking around Oakland and ended up at Mt Washington in Pittsburgh last Saturday. <br />

As I said in part one, when it comes to photos, I'm all about people. Well I wanted to try and avoid taking photos of people. I<br />

Without getting into the details of the arrangement, I was a back-up photographer for a group today. Basically it goes like this. I walk around the town where they have an event. If their normal person calls in sick/dead/missing or something else awful, they call me to head to the location. Otherwise, I just walk around. In a way it's awesome because there's really no pressure...then in a few ways it stinks because of a few things. First, it's always last minute. Second, you are loaded up to shoot a wedding and may have loaded up for nothing. Third, it's never close to home (I do this by choice though) and Fourth, it's the first time you'll meet that client. <br />
<br />
Well today I was in Pittsburgh. Most of you know that I photograph people. That's my thing. People. I love photographing people in action, or static. Doesn't matter, just love shooting photographs of people. When it comes to abstract and street photography...I just don't shoot it. I look at the scenes and I think "well oh my, that looks great", but then I can't ever get a composition I'm happy with. When I shoot street or abstract, it's always last minute as well. Being a PJ at heart in my approach to this things, I don't want to clone out sets of power lines, light poles, cars and bird doody cacca. I want the scene as it is, but then again, the scene...well it doesn't do anything for me.<br />
<br />
That said, I gave myself an "assignment". I figured that if I'm somewhere else, I should photograph different THINGS and not PEOPLE. <br />
I spent 7 hours walking around Oakland and ended up in Mt Washington. I was totally a tourist...a camera around my neck and a starbucks in hand!<br />
<br />
I shot some abstract things and some cars (there was a cool car show that seemed sort of hodge podge...there were lambos, porsches and high end bmw's. Then I seen these guys with their newer camaros and no one was really paying attention to them...I mean, if you have the choice to look at a line of Lambos, or camaros, what are you going to look at? Aside from running into a moving Lambo with my bike when I was 12 years old, or when I was driving around Dulles Airport (I swear my mid 2000's crv was the crappiest car on that stretch. It was BMW, Acura, Ferrari, Lambo, but I digress) I had not seen them in person before. So naturally that's what caught my eye. I'll post those photos on the next update, but I'll post a goofy one of me in front of them today (totally easy to take a "self photo" with a 16-35 on a full frame camera with an out stretched arm).<br />
<br />
Well here they are, <br />

These are some dirty pillars. The other sides of the building are clean, but these were (to me) more visually interesting. There's a significant crop to this. I may post the full one next time. Processing is minimal. When I shoot B/W I imagine it B/W before I shoot it. It's not a "oh let's turn this to grayscale to see if it looks good". I am of the thought you've got to think of it as a B/W FIRST, then convert it. Just a crop, conversion and a similar action I made up for my fight photos.</div>

I typically don't photograph people without them knowing it, unless it's at an event or wedding. This guy coms out and he just looked like a character. I only regret that I didn't have a longer lens with me (it was back at my "Operations Point" lol) to get in tighter. I also would've probably still shot it this way with everything else in the field...just so I could be angry at myself later. With that said, I wish I would've struck up a conversation with him and seen if he would let me take a few of him.</div>

Don't worry, the new launch of the site isn't far out. Just getting the final colors/layout under control. I've also completely blown off writing any words about myself. I really do need to get around to that part!<br />
<br />
So what's going on? I'm going to post a few photos that were taken today and also at the MMA show in Millersville PA.<br />
In Millersville I was running around with an ultra wide angle zoom on a full frame camera. It exaggerates perspective pretty easily and sometimes it's just what I'm looking for. It gives a distinct and unique perspective.<br />

Jim wanted Brent to text him the address of the place we were going to eat at, after the fights. Well Brent didn't want to text it and they fought back and forth for a few minutes over it...finally this was the solution, brent brought it up on his phone and Jim typed it on his...I can't remember off-hand but the address was three digits (I think 109) and Prince...</div>

This photo is funny because I believe the 2 are a couple. The guy was our waiter/bartender. He was a nice guy and had the kitchen staff stay to make our food. The girl she was taking photos of our table like a paparazzi. Well I caught her. Had I been about 1 second sooner, I would've captured that on camera. I don't know why but I think taking a photo of someone taking your photo is neat...only if they don't know that you know.</div>

So today we decided to go for a walk. Well Dad can't leave the house without a camera. Sometimes it's incredibly convenient to capture what I see. Other times I feel bad that I'm looking through the lens at something rather than looking with my own two eyes. I think though that having the photos of my son are going to be worth it. He's not quite 18 months, but it's fantastic looking at how much hes grown from birth to now. He was a little late to the walking game, but he's loving it so far now. I fear though that I'll have to worry about the constant bruising from him exploring and learning what he can do and where he can go.</div>

I shot the show using my usual set up of 2 Canon 1DIV cameras. However I wanted to test out how well the 5D3 would do with its limited frame rate (6fps) and more limited buffer (partly because of the size of the files, they are monstrous). The auto focus at times was worse, at times on par and at times better than the 1DIV cameras. This consequently means that the 1DIV's were at times worse, at times on par and at times better than the 5D3. The ISO handling of the cameras is similar (the 1DIV is a great high ISO camera) with an advantage towards to the 5D3 at higher ISO.<br />
<br />
My verdict as of now is, I wouldn't repalce the 1DIV's with a pair of 5D3's, and I wouldn't replace a pair of 5D3's with a pair of 1DIV's UNLESS the feature set of the other camera was something that you needed more. What I mean by that is this, the 1D series has spot metering linked to the af point...that's freakin' awesome. The 1D series has a higher sync speed (1/300 vs 1/200) which is again awesome. The build on the 1D is better (300,000 shutter rating vs 150,000, better weather resistance et cetera). The 1D also has the appearance of increased magnification as a result of the 1.3x APS-H sensor vs the full frame 35mm sensor in the 5D3. <br />
<br />
I'm not really interested in doing gear comparisons on a photo blog aimed to show images to prospective, and past clients, along with fans of photography and what I shoot in general. I do know a few photographers follow this and will find the information helpful.<br />

Thank you for the read.

First I want to touch upon a subject before I post any fight photos and a link to the fight photos as well.<br />
<br />
When I shoot a photograph, I own the rights to that photograph. That means you cannot take, reproduce, edit, change or do anything to that photograph without my permission. <br />
<br />
My to my surprise, I've seen my photographs on news sites, and nutrition sites...photos that weren't bought, and photos I'm given no credit for (even though I took them). <br />
<br />
I am a friendly individual and I do not look for any problems. I know that some people do not understand the damage they are doing when they do this. I know that there's other people who simply do not care. The fact of the matter is simply this. I am a business. If I am being stolen from, then means my income decreases. If my income decreases, I am no longer feeding my business. If it continues to decrease, I'm no longer feeding myself.<br />
<br />
When you look on my site and see a digital download for $4.99 or an 8x10 for $10.99, and you find a way to take which doesn't belong to you, you have essentially stolen that money from me. <br />
<br />
Okay, enough of the drudgery because I do hate that kind of talk, I just find that I've been taken advantage of quite a bit lately and I'm going to do my best to put a stop to it. This means if I see that you've used a photograph without permission, you'll be asked for payment and a credit. <br />
<br />
I photographed Complete Devastation MMA at the Clearfield County Fairground on Saturday 9-15-12. It was a great night of fights.<br />
<br />
Here's a few highlights of the evening, <br />

<br />
I don't tend to get asked this very often by clients, but I do get asked by other photographers what system I shoot. I use Canon cameras, and Canon lenses. I don't use any third party items. I recently added a new lens to my line up. The Canon 24 1.4ii L. The lens is one impressive looking piece of glass. It weighs (guessing) as much as my 24-105 (which is less than my 24-70).<br />
<br />
I added it because I wanted another low light prime. Well I bought 2 of them that just couldn't focus to save their life. When I used them and they hit, the results were magical. They were simply unobtainable by another lens. It's the fastest wide angle lens with auto focus Canon makes. I did some research and it appears that the 24 1.4 that Nikon has it equally a piece of crap to use in the focus department and isn't even as sharp as the Canon version.<br />
<br />
What good is sharp when I can't get the stupid thing to focus? People have suggested sending my cameras in because they could be the problem. Seriously, what are the chances that I have 3 professional level Canon bodies that work FLAWLESSLY with 8 Canon lenses, zooms/primes, but have a problem that they can't work with another lens? I actually had someone suggest to me that perhaps the bodies and lenses I have were ALL out of adjustment just enough, but close enough to each other to work.<br />
<br />
Seriously? No, I either got 2 bad 24 1.4ii's (I went through two of them extensively) or the 24 1.4 just sucks. It was a 1599 after the 200 dollar rebate piece of crap.<br />
<br />
I sent it back and I won't be revisiting it anytime soon, that's for sure.<br />
<br />
Someone suggested using manual focus, but sorry I didn't buy a lens to use as a manual focus only lens. I would've bought a Zeiss instead if I wanted over priced manual focus only optics.<br />
<br />
Aside from being a professional photographer, I do have a few other interests/hobbies. I enjoy working out, playing music and studying Judo and JuJitsu. I received my black belt in Judo this month. I plan on doing a write up and some photos of that here soon. I'm excited and looking forward to that write up.<br />
<br />
Here's the still's I was talking about before I started the wall of text :)<br />
<br />

Just finalizing details, and *gulp* writing some bio stuff up for you guys to read! I'll keep you posted.<br />

A friend of mine and I were having a discussion about things in life that are never not worth something. There's multiple types of watch movements. Automatic, and quartz. Basically self winding and battery. A self winding machine is true to real watch making as you get.<br />
<br />
There were other items on the list as I'm sure you can imagine, but it was a good talk.<br />

I'm going to see if my friend wants his collection photographed, because it's always unique trying to get cool concept photos of nice items. He's definitely got some cool/interesting pieces and like I said, I'm going to try and photograph them.Rob Lynn Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347941616618764353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706060775930365317.post-12777569292439550992012-07-16T17:47:00.001-07:002012-07-16T18:46:19.541-07:00Complete Devastation MMA 5I shot the complete devastation 5 event at the Blair County convention center in Altoona, Pennsylvania on July 14th 2012. I enjoy working with this promotion, because they are interested in more than a quick buck for their pockets. They legitmately care about putting on quality shows, treating fighters right and growing their name. So it's good to work with someone that isn't a sleezeball. Jason, the owner, listens to feedback well too. <br />
<br />
It's been a learning experience for them I'm sure. They've really been working on their production too. <br />
<br />
Lighting is always a bitch at sporting events held in a building (and outside but that's a different story).<br />
<br />
See UFC style lighting is tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of lights and grip equipment. It's trusses and 10's of thousands fo watts of light. Strung up from high in the ceiling and feathering out over. I don't want to get too into a lesson on lighting, but let's just say it's always a challenge in these types of situations.<br />
<br />
The lighting could've used some improvement. You see our eyes see things that our still and video cameras do not. Just for fun, take a look at a scene in your house that has very dark shadows and very bright highlights. For instance your desk with your computer in a room with the lights out. Your eye can pick up detail that your camera cannot. It's not that our eyes are "sharper" than our lenses. Rather that the human eye has an incredible dynamic range. Our eyes have 20-25 f/stops of dynamic range (various books/sites are my sources for this information).<br />
<br />
My cameras (canon eos 1div, until the 1DX hits shelves, the top end Canon 1 series cameras) at ISO 100 have a dynamic range of about 12 stops...TWELVE!!! That's anywhere from a little more than half to a little less than half of the human eye! At ISO 12800 as most of these events are shot...it PLUMMETS to 8 f/stops.<br />
<br />
To put this into plain terms, each f/stop greater in exposure value means double the amount of light. Each f/stop lower in exposure value means half the amount of light.<br />
<br />
f/4 lets in half the light that f/2.8 does, f/5.6 lets in double the light of f/8.<br />
<br />
Just thinking of things in numbers rather than f/stops.<br />
<br />
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288.<br />
<br />
We can say that's relative to the 20 f/stops the human eye sees.<br />
<br />
At ISO 12800, the 1DIV sees, <br />
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128.<br />
<br />
What does this mean in simple terms? Our eyes see the show just fine. Our video cameras and still cameras only see parts of the show. There's really much more to it, but rather than bore you and make my kid not see daddy for awhile, I'll move on. It just means the video and pictures from the show will not be as strong as actually being at the show. It means that details become smeared and we don't get as much "info" in the photo/video.<br />
<br />
Rather than focus on negatives why don't we talk about some of the positives? The show was great and the crowd was really excited for some good fights. There were big names on the card. TUF Veteran Jeff Smith, UFC fighter Corey Hill, M-1 veteran George Sheppard, local fighters like Levi McCord, Jason Royer and champion Charlie Gathers. Semi-Local (he used to live in town here but moved down south) Brad Mountain was on the card as well. So the card was stacked. Matchmaking was great.<br />
<br />
There was a sweet after party WITH THE VIDEO OF THE FIGHTS PLAYING!. <br />
<br />
It was really a great value for entertainment and a way to support MMA in this region. I'm glad the promoter brings me on to shoot these shows. Trust me when I say this, each show gets better than the last one. <br />
<br />
It was definitely a blast to be there.<br />
Here's a few snaps of the show, <br />

I signed with a company to do my website. The changes will begin here in the near future. The old site will remain up until we are ready for launch, so everything is seamless.<br />
