Le Roy always supports their Panthers

-

For as long as I can remember Le Roy has always been a big football town.  The stands were always full in the '70s when I was in a competing high school and they are still full every time I go down to shoot.  Last night was no different as they sent Blue Ridge Knights packing back to Farmer City as the Panthers won their Homecoming.

Be sure to get your copy of Best Look Magazine.

John Power took this weekend off from shooting, but be sure to check out his galleries from past games for some more great action photos.

  Ottawa, Illinois — August 22, 2025 SkyDive Chicago made history today with a stunning display of aerial coordination and global teamwork, successfully breaking two world records in a single day over the skies of Ottawa, Illinois. The event brought together more than 450 elite skydivers from around the world, each contributing to two massive formations that pushed the boundaries of human flight. The first record was a 200-way vertical head-down formation, now the largest of its kind ever completed. The second was a 250-way belly-to-earth formation, setting a new benchmark for traditional skydiving and becoming the largest ever performed on U.S. soil.

Ty Rodgers’ Absence Leaves a Leadership and Defensive Void for the Fighting Illini

  The Illinois men’s basketball program is facing an early setback this offseason with the news that veteran guard-forward Ty Rodgers will be out indefinitely due to a knee injury sustained during a workout session. The injury, which requires surgery, is expected to keep him sidelined for a significant portion of the upcoming season, if not all of it. Rodgers’ absence goes far beyond stats. A staple of the Illini rotation, he has been a consistent and hardworking presence on the court since his freshman year. In his second season, Rodgers started every game, bringing a gritty, physical edge to the team. He averaged over six points, grabbed more than five rebounds per game, and added a couple of assists each night. What made Rodgers so valuable was his ability to contribute in ways that didn’t always show up in the box score—defensive intensity, second-chance rebounds, and his commitment to doing the little things right. Known for his high motor and toughness, Rodgers had developed ...

Do it Yourself fresnel lense flash extender

A few short weeks ago, I was shooting a night time IHSA playoff game at Normal Community West High School and ran in to a fellow shooter and friend. As I made my way around the field to say hello and chat for a couple seconds, I noticed something that made me take a second look. On his flash unit was an extender. I'd heard of Better Beamers before but had never seen on in person, still haven't. His unit was a dozen or so years old and while it used the fresnel lense technology like the Better Beamer, it was made by someone else.

Online, I found a couple different variations with the Better Beamer being the more popular. Next I visited a couple of photo chat rooms to get an idea of what people thought that had used them. They are used a lot in nature photography and I found some using them in sports photograpy. The biggest compaint I could find was escaping l...
