Salt Storage Stalls

Saint Peter, Minnesota ƒ/1.4, 1/4000 s, 100 ISO

This is where the city stores the salt for the roads when things get icy. Unfortunately, they’ll probably need to start using this stuff pretty soon here in Minnesota.

When I was a kid, cereal was a lot simpler. There weren’t so many different shapes of Lucky Charms marshmallows, and Trix looked a lot like Kix.

Coming up I have a bunch of macro photos of Lucky Charms pieces that are part of an ongoing project featuring cereal pieces. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

We took this shot in the Folke Bernadotte Memorial Library near the back in the reference section. I looked a little funny lying on my stomach, but I am really happy with how the shot turned out.

This is Scott Bur. He teaches Chemistry at Gustavus Adolphus College and seems like a good guy. I see him down at Patrick’s for trivia sometimes. His beard comes and goes, but I think I like the bearded Bur better than the non-bearded version.

So delicious. This one happens to be a decaf French roast coffee bean.

I have a couple more of these coming up, so I hope you enjoy the series.

My friend and co-worker, Jerry Nowell.

He needed a photo for some work related things and I thought we may as well have a little fun while we were at it. I took this with the fisheye lens in the server room at Gustavus right in front of a rack that has a bunch of crazy cables coming out everywhere.

Overall I’m very happy with this shot–although I would have liked to have done it a bit differently. Unfortunately, we were in a very tight location so I forced to use such a wide lens and couldn’t get my lights quite where I would have liked them to be.

This shot was lit with two strobes, one on the right, directly aimed at Jerry’s face and the cables, and the other on the left, bounced into a silver umbrella.

Night barn

Jerry and I went out, exploring the southern Minnesota countryside and looking for good nighttime subjects.

We drove for what seemed like a couple of hours and didn’t come across anything that really grabbed us. About to give up, we headed toward home. Suddenly, we drove past this barn and in an instant were out of the car with our photo gear pointed at the barn. Needless to say, we were quite excited about the structure.

We spent an hour or two at this site until Jerry finished his roll in his old school Yashica–he wanted to see how they turned out first thing the next morning and figured he would take the opportunity to experiment a bit with shutter speeds and apertures. He posted a few of the good ones.

Cute Kid

This little girl was one of the crazy kids running around at a wedding that I shot a while back.

She posed just barely long enough for a shapshot and then ran off. My instincts kicked in and I got lucky.

Cracked Ground

About maybe a mile or so walk from the entrance to the Kasota Prairie, I stumbled across this partly dried up pond.

It was quite a happy find for me because I have seen some really cool photos of cracked ground and was excited to be able to finally try my hand at it. I think this one turned out pretty well and nicely captures the peacefulness of the Kasota Prairie under the glowing white light of the full moon. I took a few other pictures here but they all more or less look the same, so I won’t bore you with them.

Unfortunately, due to the time-consuming nature of night shots (for this particular shot, the shutter was open for nearly six minutes!), this and The Lonely Tree are the only good ones I have from this round of night shooting. Hopefully it won’t be too cold here in Minnesota and I will be able to get out for the next full moon.
