NORTH SEA, May. 23. 2018. Norwegian coastguards and Kristiansend maritime firefighters assist MS SJØKURS in evacuating passengers during Search and Rescue Exercice Dynamic Massive off shore of Kristiansend (Norway). Dynamic Massive is one of the large scale drills conducted during annual NATO exercise DYNAMIC MERCY , which enables military, civilian rescue coordination centres and mobile SAR units to practice synthetic SAR scenarios to enhance cross regional cooperation and response in the event of an actual emergency. This year Dynamic Mercy consists of ten separate incidents, providing different training scenarios for the 13 RCCs and ATC, SAR agencies, SAR units, national authorities such as police forces, hospitals and fire fighters, and commercial agencies.NATO Photo by FRA N CPO Christian Valverde

NATO Allies collaborated during a search and rescue exercise in the North Sea on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, as part of Exercise DYNAMIC MERCY 2022.
French Naval vessel, FS Pluvier and personnel with the French, British, Royal Danish and Norwegian air force actively participated in the search and rescue. Rescue responders from nearby countries also responded, bringing national and civilian entities side-by-side with military units.
Dynamic Mercy promotes inter-regional and cross boundary cooperation between Rescue Coordination Centres and Search and Rescue units, military or civilian, in NATO's northern region. This also includes Partner Nations that have common Search and Rescue Region boundaries with Allies.

Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Homer's Odyssey: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide. . . Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; --Homer's Odyssey translated by Samuel Butler.
All 45surf Hero's Odyssey Mythology Photography is shot in the honor of Dynamic Dimensions Theory's First Law and equation: The fourth dimension is expanding relative to the three spatial dimensions at the rate of c: dx4/dt=ic.

ROYAL NAVY ON NATO EXERCISE OFF THE COAST OF ICELAND
On Wednesday 1st July 2020, the Task Force involved in this year's Exercise Dynamic Mongoose met off the coast of Iceland.
HMS Kent and her sister ship HMS Westminster met with the USS Roosevelt, USS Indiana, HNOMS Otto Sverdrop, HNOMS Utsira, HMCS Frederiction, FGS U36, and FS Casabianca Rouge off the Icelandic coast during a dark and overcast Thursday afternoon.
Exercise Dynamic Mongoose will see the sister ships from HMNB Portsmouth participate along with other countries including Iceland, Norway and Canada during extensive serials practicing the art of close proximity sailing, anti-submarine warfare drills and surface engagement drills (quickdraw exercises).
HMS Kent has been involved in a wide array of operations over the last three months, from exercising with the Americans in the Arctic Circle, taking part in Exercise BALTOPS 20 with numerous NATO units to working alongside HMS Queen Elizabeth in the North Sea.

I wanted to know the usable dynamic range of my dSLRs. Here are the results of my Nikon D70 test. The results for Nikon D50 were pretty much identical. See also discussion in the strobist group.
Executive summary
Never shoot with higher ISO than 200. It is better to take underexposed shots with ISO200 than properly exposed shots at ISO800. The higher ISO will just reduce the dynamic range, whereas the same shadow details can be recovered from the underexposed low ISO shot with more highlight latitude.
The experiment
Here is how I did the test. I placed a camera on tripod and a piece of white tissue paper on the table. I set the exposure of the camera at 1/160 s and f/16, and illuminated the paper with a Nikon SB-800 flash bounced from the ceiling. I altered the light output of the flash to get darker and brighter exposures. The exposure in camera was kept constant, except for the four brightest frames, where I had to open up the aperture to f/2.8 and adjust the flash power accordingly to get every frame one stop brighter than the previous.
After having transferred the RAW images on a computer, I adjusted the brightness of each photo in the dcraw RAW converter so that the brightness of the piece of paper should be same for each exposure. That means the frame marked -1 EV was brightened one stop, -5 EV was brightened five stops and +3 EV was darkened three stops etc. I used the highlight recovery mode of the RAW converter to get the best possible amount of highlight detail from the brightest photos.
The patches shown are 100% crops from the images where the brightness has been adjusted.
Results for ISO200
At ISO200 there is about six stops of dynamic range with very little visible noise. The best dynamic range extends three stops up to +3 EV and three stops down to -3 EV from normal exposure.
Subjects more than three stops brighter than normal exposure will lose details because of clipping (at +4 EV or more). Subjects more than three stops darker than normal exposure will have visible noise. At -4 EV the noise is visible but not very bad. At -5 EV the details of the subject are barely visible because of noise, and at -6 EV the details are almost completely lost.
Results for ISO800
I repeated the same experiment also at ISO800. I was disappointed with the high ISO results.
The shadow details of the ISO800 photos were nearly identical to the shadow details of the ISO200 photos with the same exposure and same amount of light. The only effect of using a higher ISO was that the dynamic range was reduced by two stops.
That means the ISO800 mode is useless. It is better to shoot at ISO200 and underexpose the shots by two stops than switch to ISO800, expose normally and lose two stops of highlight details.
Lighting info: See setup shot.
I was lucky today. With my manual focus Canon FDn 80-200mm F4 telephoto lens, I was able to capture this couple of white pelicans in flight pin sharp. Now, my next challenge is to try capturing some flying insects.
