Nikon D810 Photos Pro Women's Surfing Van's US Open Sports Photography Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD !
I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracels took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 14mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the bright sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS, but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!

Cyril Royston Guyton Bassett VC, was born 3 January 1892 in Mt Eden Auckland and died 9 January 1983 in Stanley Bay, Auckland. He was a New Zealand recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. He was the first New Zealander to be awarded the VC in the First World War.
The citation for Bassett’s Victoria Cross:
No. 4/515 Corporal Cyril Royston Guyton Bassett, New Zealand Divisional Signal Company. For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the Chunuk Bair ridge in the Gallipoli Peninsula on 7th August, 1915. After the New Zealand Infantry Brigade had attacked and established itself on the ridge, Corporal Bassett, in full daylight and under a continuous and heavy fire, succeeded in laying a telephone line from the old position to the new one on Chunuk Bair. He has subsequently been brought to notice for further excellent and most gallant work connected with the repair of telephone lines by day and night under heavy fire.
—The London Gazette, No. 29238, 15 October 1915
Description attached to his Great War Medal winner photograph:
Sergeant (later Captain) Bassett was the first New Zealander to win the Victoria Cross in the present war. The award was for splendid bravery and devotion to duty during the famous attack on Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli. Bassett's duty was to establish and maintain communications at all costs. This he did, repeatedly exposing himself upon the shell-swept slopes in full daylight, and working amid a hail of bullets. Captain Wallingford reported of him "It was only possible to give Bassett one Victoria Cross, but he won it a dozen times over.

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!
"Air Force One" - or occasionally a similar call sign, such as "Executive One" - is the plane in which the President of the United States of America travels. In most cases the call sign of the President is associated with massive jet liners - at various times it has been a Douglas DC-4, a Douglas DC-6, a Boeing 707, and is now a Boeing 747.
However the fleet of the top officials of the USA consists not only of transcontinental airliners, for domestic flights are flown by medium haul aircraft, and in some cases, flights over short distances are often served by small business jets. The Lockheed VC-140B Jetstar was one such plane during a long period.

Recent lens line up consist of Samyang 14mm F2.8, Sigma 30mm F1.4, Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro and my brother's Tamron 17-50 F2.8 VC
Weapons taken from a village that everyone had suddenly deserted when we approached. Mostly, SKS bolt action rifles, Soviet made. Lots of ammo, and the tank-buster mines, in the left center of photo.
Writing Knox's backstory was fun, so I thought I'd do VC's too, it's not as exciting as Knox's, but I like her, well I like her character... her bjd form desperately needs a new faceup and wig...
VC or Vivid Color's real name is Lin Washburne. Lin was born in Hong Kong, she spent the first four years of her life in an orphanage and knows almost nothing about her birth parents. She does know that her mother was "very young", she knows nothing about her father. Many prospective parents both from China and abroad looked at her, but all of them seemed to loose interest after talking to the people who ran the orphanage. Finally the management at the orphange changed and Lin was adopted by a Canadian family.
She still wonders if there is something wrong with her.
Both of her parents are university professers. She also has an older brother named Amir who was adopted from India as a new born. Lin and Amir are very close. Amir respects Knox and thinks she is very good for his sister.
Lin always excelled in school, especially in the private highschool she went to where she was allowed to skip a grade.
Lin has always been prone to gaining weight she's very self consious about it and stays extremely active to keep it off. As a kid she took dance and gymnastics, in highschool she martial arts, as an adult she runs.
Lin and Amir were raised to take an active role in changing the world for the better. Amir chose to become a doctor and when he got bord of that (he's a very smart guy) a surgen, Lin joined RIOT.
Her first couple of years she was partenered with Knox's father, before being promoted. Her current job title is classified. When someone asks she tells them to watch a couple James Bond films and they'll get the idea. Knox did find out that she is on a first name basis with the world president.
Lin has been in a serious relationship with her current partener Landon for several years. He's not very fond of Knox, but tolerates her for Lin's sake. Landon comes from England and spends a lot of his time there, he bought Lin a puppy to keep her company when he's gone, she wishes he would just propose already.
Lin has been worried about Knox, her friend hasn't been the same since she was fired, she's keeping a secret and won't tell, Amir knows but he's not talking either, and now she's dragged her into another crazy plan...
Some bonus random facts about her:
She's a health nut, and loves green tea
She's also a neat freak
She dresses very casually when she's not working, but has a wardrobe full of cocktail dresses for work
Since she is asian and knows martial arts she occasionally gets called a ninja, it is her biggest pet peeve, naturally Knox does it all the time just to piss her off
Her RIOT sea creature is a jellyfish

A new outdoor exhibit at the NASA Goddard Visitor Center, titled the "Astrobiology Walk," displays Goddard's role in probing the origins of life on our world, in our solar system, and in the deep reaches of space.
Goddard's Astrobiology Walk consists of ten stations. Each station sits atop a stainless steel pillar and features two informational panels. One, which visitors read as they overlook the Goddard campus, describes basic science concepts in astrobiology. The other, read as visitors face the Rocket Garden's massive Delta rocket, explains Goddard's contribution to that science. Quick-response (QR) codes at each station link visitors' mobile devices directly to related web content.
Each station is also crowned with a three-dimensional icon – a visual representation of the science concepts being presented, whether an amino acid, a stromatolite rock from Australia, or a detailed model of an early barren Earth. Two icons, depicting the topography of Mars and the nucleus of comet Hartley 2, are based on satellite images and laser altimetry measurements. Exhibitology fabricated these two models using 3-D-laser printing, with later refinements by graphic artists. Visitors are allowed – and even encouraged – to touch everything.
The Astrobiology Walk was formally unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. EDT at the Visitor's Center.

National Museum of the US Air Force
The Boeing VC-137C on display was the first jet aircraft built specifically for use by the President of the United States. During its 36 year flying career, it carried eight sitting presidents and countless heads of state, diplomats, dignitaries and officials on many historic journeys known as Special Air Missions (SAM).
On Oct. 10, 1962, the Boeing Co. delivered to the Air Force a highly modified civilian 707-320B airliner, serial number 62-6000. Bearing the unique call sign “SAM Two-Six-Thousand,” this aircraft illustrated the Air Force’s commitment to providing safe, reliable and comfortable air transportation for the president and other key personnel to locations anywhere around the globe. Whenever the president was onboard the aircraft, the call sign changed to “Air Force One,” a special designation established in 1953 to avoid confusion with other aircraft in flight.
At the request of President Kennedy, a new paint scheme was developed by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and famous industrial designer, Raymond Loewy. In addition to the vibrant blue and white colors, the words “United States of America” were emblazoned in tall letters along the fuselage and an American flag was placed on the tail. These distinctive markings reflect the stature of the Office of the President and serve as a highly visible symbol of American prestige.
One of the world’s most historic aircraft, SAM 26000 carried eight American presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Clinton. SAM 26000 played an important role in American presidential, political and diplomatic history, and it remains an important national symbol from the Cold War. In June 1963, SAM 26000 flew President Kennedy to West Berlin, Germany, where he declared to the world that “Ich bin ein Berliner” (“I am a Berliner”), boldly assuring continued American support in the face of communist threats and the construction of the Berlin Wall.
SAM 26000 bears an intimate connection to one of the nation’s greatest tragedies, a moment that forever altered the course of American history. On Nov. 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated while traveling in a motorcade through downtown Dallas, Texas. Hours later, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as the new president aboard SAM 26000. The aircraft then carried Kennedy’s body and President Johnson back to Washington, D.C., and a grieving nation.
During the Southeast Asia War, SAM 26000 transported President Johnson to visit U.S. troops in South Vietnam. In 1970 President Nixon’s national security advisor, Dr. Henry Kissinger, traveled aboard the aircraft on 13 separate trips to secret peace talks with the North Vietnamese in Paris, France. In February 1972 SAM 26000 flew President Nixon to the People’s Republic of China on his famous “Journey for Peace,” the first visit by an American president to China. Three months later, it carried President Nixon on an unprecedented visit to the Soviet Union, where he signed two historic nuclear arms control agreements.
In December 1972 SAM 26000 became the president’s backup aircraft when the Air Force acquired another Boeing VC-137C (serial number 72-7000). However, SAM 26000 continued flying presidents, vice-presidents and other high-ranking government officials on important missions. In October 1981, it carried former Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter to the funeral of the slain Egyptian president Anwar Sadat. In March 1983 Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom flew on SAM 26000 during her visit to the United States. When SAM 26000 left the presidential fleet in 1990, it continued to fly prominent government officials. Secretary of State James Baker flew aboard the aircraft prior to the 1991 Gulf War for talks with Iraqi leaders regarding their invasion of Kuwait.
In a nationally-televised event, the USAF retired SAM 26000 to the museum in May 1998. After 36 years of providing service and accumulating more than 13,000 flying hours, SAM 26000 began a new career, educating thousands of visitors each year about USAF presidential airlift.

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
12.Laka: isso mesmo – hora de usar um branquinho! Vc consegue! Hahaha Dica: pode ser com glitter, a gente te dá essa colher de chá! xD
*Sugestão da Beeanka: Laka é amarelinho, pode ser um off-white também! :)
Oi!
Esmalte complicado de aplicar porque seca na velocidade da luz! Dá a impressão que começa a secar durante o caminho que o pincel faz —do vidro até as unhas—.
Tem que esmaltar bem rápido e com poucas pinceladas para não arrastar o esmalte. Tem três camadas aí porque achei que com duas estava falhado.
Não curto mais branco corretivo em mim porém, como o Camila é fosco achei mais usável do que se fosse um Pétala Branca da vida.
Só aguentei um dia com ele puro e passei o Picasso da Penélope Luz no dia seguinte.
Usei:
1 x base rosinha — Impala
3 x Camila — Impala
