Third Team All American.

Jasper's Sean Weatherspoon named Third Team All American

As found in the KJAS.COM article. This is the radio station in Jasper 107.3fm

Former Jasper Bulldog and current Missouri Tiger Sean Weatherspoon has been named Third Team All American in football by the sports writers of the Associated Press.

Weatherspoon, who graduated from Jasper in 2006, was a member of the Bulldog football team that played Gilmer in the 2004 class 3-A State Championship. Weatherspoon and his Jasper teammates fell just short of the state title in a 47-49 loss to Gilmer. However, many said it was one of the best high school football games ever played in Texas.

Weatherspoon took his talent to the University of Missouri in 2006 and is now a junior. At Missouri, Weatherspoon has been credited with 3 interceptions, 138 tackles, and four quarterback sacks.

Weatherspoon will be in action again this year in his home state on December 29th when Missouri meets Northwestern in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio's Alamodome.

The game will be broadcast at 7:00 PM on ESPN.

In August, Sean Weatherspoon (left) and two of his Missouri teammates graced the cover of Sports Illustrated.

His father was a teacher of mine when i lived in Jasper Texas. I attended
grades 8-12 there from 1984-1989.

A Neat Little Project...

This lens is an enlarger. It states that The F4/40mm is for 24mm x 24mm neg. Componons are enlarging lenses.

I have had this little lens for over 10 years and i do not know whay i kept it. I did not have a DSLR camera back then.

I used a lens cap and made a hole through the center and placed it on the top of my 35-105 lens as a holder. It will also work on my 18-70mm lens as well.

From what i have learned, having the Componon on the end, you add +40mm to the Focal Length and +4 to the Aperture and F/Stop. It has a very good Bokeh and a very selective Depth Of Field when in used in conjunction with the other lenses.

Here are some of the photos taken with this Do It Yourself(DIY) Lens.
You get some distortion due to the different layers of glass in the lenses but for the most part
the photos turn out nice.



Here is the end result with the lens attached to my A200.

I love the Bokeh that this photo has. It is really interesting to use this set up as you are shooting in the blind so to speak. Really none of the focal and aperture settings are correct on the on the EXIF data because the camera does not know the other lens is on it. It has a very selective Depth Of Field with a very small in-focus area.
