Yesterday I did an all day birding adventure which started at Okeeheelee Park at sunrise and after a total of six parks I ended up at Grassy Water Preserve. During my driving around, from park to park, I spotted a Swallowed-tail Kite gliding through the sky. This time I only saw one as oppose to four flying together. I think this is my best exposure of a Swallowed-tailed Kite, with a good amount of detail in the white and black areas. I did some extra processing in Lightroom so it wasn't just another boring blue background. I also like how the extra tones give the image a more polished look.

An important thing to remember is that even though pixel sizes keep getting smaller and smaller, the technology is advancing, so the smaller pixels are more efficient at collecting light. For instance, the Sony A7rII is back-illuminated which allows more photons to hit the sensor. Semiconductor technology is always advancing, so the brilliant engineers are always improving the signal/noise ratio. Far higher pixel counts, as well as better dynamic ranger, are thus not only possible, but the future!

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. 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; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey
All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!
Sitges, Barcelona (Spain).
Carrer d'en Bosc is the oldest street of Sitges. It is the old way of round that followed the profile of the wall, to that were leaned these houses of 14th century.
El Carrer d'en Bosc es el rincón más antiguo de Sitges. Se trata del antiguo camino de ronda que seguía el perfil de la muralla, a la que estaban adosadas estas casas del siglo XIV.
ENGLISH
Sitges’ name comes from the Pre-Roman word "sitja" that means "deep hole or grain warehouse". Already before the Neolithic period, the first Sitgetans dwelled in the place known as cave point, (past the Terramar Golf Club) and at the La Punta (the Point) headland, where the church and town hall are today. The archaeological remains found recently show that an Iberian settlement already exited there back in the 4th-3rd century BC. Present studies confirm that there were two small town centers in Sitges back in the 1st century. One around the La Punta headland and another at the Vinyet chapel. Joined together with Roman Olérdola, Sitges’ port was a point of exchange for products between the Penedés region and other places from the Roman Mediterranean.
The castle, located at the top of the La Punta headland, today the Town Hall, built on the foundations of the ancient castle in 1889, was first owned by the Barcelona Seo, or cathedral, which ceded it by fief to Count Mir Geribert (1041). In the 12th century, Sitges was under the fief of the Sitges’s, a family that adopted the town’s name as their own last name. The Sitges family has been documented from 1116 up to 1308. The family’s last member, Agnès de Sitges, sold her fief rights to Bernat de Fonollar, who was Lord from 1306 to 1326. After the death of his second wife, Blanca de Abella, by testamentary decision, Sitges was placed in the hands of the Pia Almoina (an almshouse) until 1814. Bernat de Fonollar was a knight who was directly related to King Juame II’s court. The tombs of both this nobleman and his wife are in the Sant Bartomeu & Santa Tecla church, on the left-hand side as you enter. During these centuries, Sitgetans’ lives were organized around the bastion headland, where the parish church, cemetery, hospital, castle and a small group of houses were, all surrounded by a first enclosure and connected to the rest of the town via a bridge over calle Mayor, or Main St. The rest of the village consisted of Nou, Tacó and Carreta streets, that lead down to the sea and all had their respective gates, L’Aigua street with another gate and Devallada street. The presence of these gates shows that the entire village was surrounded by a second rampart. It is also known that there were 3 towers located at the Bastion, behind the old Hospital (today the Maricel Museum) and Bosc street, possibly built in 1303. They are part of the Sitges Coat of Arms.

CASTELLANO
El nombre de Sitges proviene de "sitja" de procedencia prerromana que significa "hoyo profundo, depósito de grano". Los primeros sitgetanos habitaban, ya antes del neolítico, el lugar conocido como la punta de las cuevas (pasado el golf Terramar) y en el promontorio de la Punta, donde hoy se encuentra la iglesia y el Ayuntamiento, los restos arqueológicos encontrados últimamente demuestran la existencia de un asentamiento ibérico ya en el siglo IV-III AC. Los estudios actuales constatan que en el siglo I, en Sitges habían dos pequeños núcleos de población. Uno alrededor del promontorio de la Punta y otro en la ermita del Vinyet. Unida a la Olérdola romana, el puerto sitgetano sirvió de intercambio entre los productos del Penedés y de otros lugares del Mediterraneo romano.
El castillo, situado en lo alto del promontorio de la Punta, hoy Ayuntamiento y que fue construido sobre los cimientos del antiguo castillo en el 1889, tuvo como primer propietario la Seo de Barcelona que lo cedió en feudo al conde Mir Geribert (1041). En el siglo XII, Sitges estaba bajo el feudo de los Sitges, familia que adoptó el topónimo de la villa como apellido. La família Sitges está documentada desde el año 1116 hasta el año 1308. El último miembro de la família Agnès de Sitges vendió sus derechos de feudo a Bernat de Fonollar que fue señor desde 1306 al 1326. Despues de la muerte de su segunda mujer, Blanca de Abella, Sitges pasó, por decisión testamentaria, a manos de la Pia Almoina y lo fue hasta 1814. Bernat de Fonollar fue un caballero directamente relacionado con la corte del rey Jaume II. Las tumbas del noble y de su mujer están en la iglesia de Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, entrando a mano izquierda. La vida de los sitgetanos de estos siglos se organiza alrededor el promontorio del baluarte, donde estaba la iglesia parroquial, el cementerio, el hospital, el castillo y un reducido núcleo de casas, todo cerrado por un primer recinto y conectaba con el resto de la villa por un puente encima de la calle Mayor. El resto del pueblo lo conforman las calles Nou, Tacó y Carreta que manaban al mar y estaban cerrados por sus respectivos portales, la calle de l'Aigua con otro portal y el de la Devallada. La presencia de estos portales demuestra que toda la villa estaba enmurallada por un segundo recinto. se conoce, también la existencia de 3 torres situadas en el Baluarte, detrás del antiguo Hospital (actual Museo Maricel) y en la calle de Bosc, posiblemente levantadas en el año 1303. Dibujadas en el escudo de Sitges.

Lifecaster creates buzz
By Scott Beveridge, Observer-Reporter
WASHINGTON, Pa. – The media buzz began swirling around Justine Ezarik after she received her first iPhone bill, one that itemized her text messages and calls across both sides of 300 pages.
Stories about the young woman and her fascination with mobile technology were picked up by USA Today, CNN, Fox News and CNBC, as well as hundreds of other media outlets, after she posted on her Internet blog a self-made video about the $274 bill so thick it came in a box.
“A friend of mine was in Spain and opened up a newspaper, a Spanish version: the iPhone bill with my picture on it,” said Ezarik, 23, a Scenery Hill native who is the current “It girl” on the Web.
The digital world took notice of Ezarik, who uses the screen name ijustine, in a big way in August. The short film about the bill was subsequently viewed more than 3 million times in 10 days and earned her $5,000 in ad revenues from her online host.
“Now I’m signed up for E-billing,” she said.
But the Internet never dies and ijustine is along for the ride while building a huge fan base.
She was the lead story on Yahoo’s home page two weeks ago because of the popularity she has gained from lifecasting her daily chores on two Web sites.
Whether capturing her travels from a mini-camera attached to her ball cap or pointed at her face from a table, Ezarik has become the star of justin.tv.
The new media company is the brainchild of Justin Kan, who is among the first to use mobile technology to stream live videos to a Web site. Broadcasters have free access and personal control over the look of their pages and the ability to chat with viewers.
There were more than 400 people tuned in when Ezarik showed up Monday to meet a reporter and cameramen from the Observer-Reporter at the Crazy Mocha coffee shop in Washington.
Most of her viewers say nice things, and some periodically dare her to perform the Chicken Dance polka in public places. She usually complies and breaks into the dance that requires hand signals to suggest duck quacks. She was drawing as many as 4,000 viewers at any particular moment after the Yahoo story hit.
“This is crazy. Why am I doing this?” she said.
Others have not been so nice, and complained that she has odd eyebrows, wears too much makeup or is too self-centered to think that anyone with a brain would want to watch her sleep.
“Many of her critics urged her to ‘get a life,’ ‘read a book’ and cease her ceaseless self-promotion,” a writer noted Aug. 29 on the popular news blog Pittsburgh Dish.
“People like to hate for whatever reason,” Ezarik said.
While some viewers think she is surfing the Internet while running her fingers through her hair at a coffee shop, Ezarik said she actually is editing videos or designing Web sites for her business.
The graduate of Pittsburgh Technical Institute now lives in Pittsburgh and also is spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Councilman Bill Peduto. Through her blogging, she has landed a job with Xtrain, a company that offers online expert training. Just this week, Warner Brothers was trying to track her down to invite her to appear on “The Tyra Banks Show.”
She’s unsure just how much longer she will be sharing her life with the digital world as a lifecaster.
“A lot of my friends don’t like it when they’re around. It’s too invasive,” she said.
But her father, Steve, of Scenery Hill, said he is beginning to like lifecasting in a era when many children Justine’s age forget to call their parents.
“At least we can follow her around,” he said.

Yesterday evening around sunset I got *the jitters*... I was tired from work, would I go out with the camera or stay in? I saw some interesting cloud activity so I decided to give it a go and bike in the direction of Overschie to see if *something would happen*.
What I found was a stunning double rainbow, some of the weirdest light and clouds I ever saw and... the decision to flee back home or stay, shoot and get completely soaked as a bonus.
I decided to stay and get washed away. :) Here's the first part (which is actually part II, err nevermind) of what I saw and experienced yesterday only *just* before sunset. Enjoy your weekend, and yes... I'll be catching up soon!
THX for viewing folks! Faves and comments are always welcome! Have a nice day.

Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river dried up
You came to rain a flood
You said 'drink from me, drink from me'
When I was so thirsty
Poured on a symphony
Now I just can't get enough
Put your wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low...

Mmh, yes,
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes.
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
Stepping out...
To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes,
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes,
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,
I said, mmh, yes,
But not yet, mmh, yes,
Mmh, yes.

Creamy Lemon and Raspberry Tart
From the Café Boulud Cookbook.
Notes: Think soft custard/flan meets lemon meringue filling with raspberries; it's very *tart.* But, the pate sablé helps to round out the flavor with a mellow, buttery sweetness.
I have always wanted to eat at Café Boulud. I look forward to eating there some day; especially now that Gavin Kaysen is the Chef de Cuisine.

A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
A Gold 45 Goddess guards the wisdom of dx4/dt=ic -- my physics theory which appears on all the 45surf clothes. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
May the Hero's Journey Mythology Goddess inspire you (as they have inspired me!) along your own artistic journey! All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! Catch those photons as they surf the fourth expanding dimension!
