Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
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.!

If I must be honest, I never could understand the point of bodying a low chassis with a highbridge body ... thereby making it less versatile. In this case, with the ECW VR, the standard height variety had widespread acceptance already and looked respectable enough if a little dated, but ECW's attempt at streching the body upwards was little short of an aesthetic disaster in my humble opinion. In a similar vane were the Nottingham AEC Renowns ... possibly the ugliest of the type, again with highbridge bodies on a low chassis.
Anyway, back at the beginning of this century I encountered this rather anonymous ex London Country VR, PPH 467R in a lay-by on the outskirts of Kirkbymoorside in Yorkshire. I'm not sure to whom it belonged, but the other buses present were owned by Stephensons of Easingwold.
U.S Navy VR-22 'Med Riders' squadron based at NAS Rota Spain, back in the 60's she was based at U.S Navy West Malling Kent till they left in 1967.
She was w/d to storage at AMARC Tuscon 30/6/92, still there in 2008
Aki et Mark peaufinent la préparation de leur sortie extravéhiculaire grâce à un casque de réalité virtuelle. La station dans tous ses moindres détails est modélisée en 3D, et il n’y manque pas un boulon ou un reflet du soleil sur l’aluminium. C’est non seulement super impressionnant, mais c’est essentiel pour le niveau de préparation que demande une sortie, ou les opérations de robotique. Et je crois qu'on peut dire qu’Aki vit l'expérience pleinement 😅

Aki and Mark preparing for their spacewalk using a virtual reality headset. The whole station is modelled in infinite detail in 3D by NASA VRlab, it’s a fantastic tool to prepare, review and describe the spacewalks and robotics operations. I think it's safe to say Aki is getting the full experience 😅

One of the smartest non pcvs this year for me must be VTV169S which forms part of an elusive fleet based in Perthshire but operated countrywide spreading the good word of God. This veteran new in January 1978 is shown about to set off on a marathon journey to the Outer Hebrides where it will be semi permanently based for most of 2015 at least.

The tall, golden-haired, blue-eyed twin goddesses were modeling the black & gold Braveheat Sword (Cross) simsuit and "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. 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! Love, love, love the 70-200mm F/2.8 Lens! Holding it up all day, alongside the Sony NEX 6 with the 50mm F/1.8 lens for cool video bokeh which I have mounted under the Nikon D800E camera, is quite the workout! My shoulders have gotten bigger after so many days with six hour shoots in the AM and 3 hour shoots in the PM holding that rig up :). Plus I have to carry all the gear, books, and clothes a few hundred yards up and down the steep cliffs. I count my photography days as two workout days. :) But I love it! Every day presents a puzzle--how to figure out the light, and every model presents a mystery to be unlocked--what are her best angles/poses/actions? Nothing beats the challenge of capturing the natural beauty of a day out there, when the light's dynamic range can change by a factor of ten in a few minutes as the mist burns away to reveal the sun, and then the wind whips up and a fog rolls on in, making it seem like a windy December dusk in July. One must always be mindful of tide, times, and temperatures and work quickly before the cameras get too hot in the sun, or the model gets too cold in the wind, as the tide and rogue waves reach out to grab your equipment/props/clothes and claim them for Poseidon, the god of the sea . Beach photography/video is just like surfing, with the conditions always changing and every wave a bit different. Studio photography is like riding an exercise bike set at level 1 in a gym in front of a TV. And shooting stills and video @ the same time is like Jimmy Page or Slash improvising on his double-necked guitar.
I'm working on a book called "Lone Cowboy Photography: A Humble Hero's Journey into the Art of Photography" about how to shoot it all on your own--stills and video for sports, portraits, and landscapes--with no assistants nor teams. Just you and the goddesses, the heroic athletes, the majestic, epic landscapes, and a copy of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey to teach you of the poetry of epic, heroic beauty. You gotta be ready, son--you gotta be ready for quick-draw showdowns at sunrise and sunset, during the magic hours and in the harsh light at high noon. Every shoot is over the second you finish packing your bags for the day with all your batteries, backup cameras, freshly-cleaned lenses, washed and folded clothes and hoodies, and props and polarizer filters. Every shoot ends the second the prep is over, and the fun, and art, and life of the live performance begins. :) "Every fighter has a plan," said boxing great Mike Tyson, "Until they get hit."
All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy!

Stagecoach must have seen the potential with the sprawling Westwood bus garage site as it was soon developed into commercial property. XJJ662V was my final East Kent Bristol VR to photograph out of the whole batch. I think the staff there took pity on me and pulled it out for the camera. Lots of these East Kent VRs went onto second lives throughout the UK but this particular one was gone by 1998 after only 18 years service.

This is a build that's very close to my heart: may I present to you all the VR-052F Veritech, or more simply, the Cyclone. If you're a Robotech or MOSPEADA fan you'll most instantly recognise this build, it's iconic. As a kid, my dad raised me on Robotech, which in the last few years I've been able to expand on with my discovery of Macross and all of the other titles Carl Macek smooshed together to produce his saga. The basic idea of the Cyclone is to provide REF soldiers with increased survivability through a means of transport and enhanced combat effectiveness. It does this by transforming from a motorbike into a set of armour, granting the wearer extreme abilities via boosters, weapons and targeting systems.

Twee actualiteiten van vandaag.
Er werd uit Assen een V100 gemeld met NSR 1729 Eloc op sleep. Aangezien de Veluwelijn doorgaand eruit lag zou dit over de Hanzelijn kunnen komen - hop hop.
VR 203-1 komt met aan de haak NSR Eloc 1729 over de Hanzelijn langs Lelystad Opstel op weg naar Weesp en uiteindelijk Dijksgracht.
NSR Eloc 1729 is op 20 Mei 2010 terzijde gesteld - 14 Januari 2012 overgebracht van de Dijksgracht in Amsterdam naar Maastricht - op 16 maart 2012 keerde de loc terug naar de Watergraafsmeer om uiteindelijk weer op de Dijksgracht opgesteld te worden . Misschien mis ik nog wat overbrengingen maar dit kon ik uit Somda halen ;)
Op 17 September van dit jaar (2014) is de loc overgebracht naar Onnen. Wat er met de loc gebeurd is op Onnen is mij onduidelijk. Het kan wat te maken hebben met het weer in dienst stellen van DDAR materieel in wat voor hoedanigheid ook maar dat is een gok van mijn kant.
Als iemand een trein nr heeft houd ik mij aanbevolen ;)

Monday the 17th of November 2014
Two photos of today ;)
On the Somda forum was reported that a V100 with NSR Eloc 1729 DIT was on its way in Assen towards Zwolle - because Zwolle - Amersfoort was out of service the transport could be going via the Hanzelijn to Amsterdam - hop hop to the Hanzelijn near Lelystad (my home town ;).
VolkerRail 203-1 (V100 Diesel) with Eloc 1729 DIT passes over the Hanzelijn along Lelystad Stabling Yard on its way from Onnen (NedTrain Workshop) to Amsterdam , Dijksgracht Stabling Yard near Amsterdam Central station.
Eloc 1729 is put out of order in 2010, in September of this year the Eloc moved to Onnen, now its returned , it is not (yet) clear what has happened and if the Eloc is put into service again.
so a the owners of EAP 984V wanted to repaint their VR and came to me for the vinyls and this is the result.
I've always like the Midland Fox livery, one of the best deregulation liveries around, of course this vehicle never carried it and was originally in Southdown NBC green.
Took a lot of research to get the logo and text just right and I think we did a good job of that from the pictures that we had.
