Nikon D800 Photoshoot of Twin Sister Bikini Swimsuit Model Goddesses
Twin sister goddesses!
Shot with my new, rather expensive B&W CP (circular polarizer)--the B W XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating ! I love the finish it gives! Nothing in post compares! :)
Finished in Lightroom 4!
Nikon D800 Photographs of two beautiful blonde swimsuit bikini model twin sisters shot with the brand new Nikon D800 and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens.
Captured in both RAW and JPEG.
Check out the amazing detail in the full resolution photos! I was running out of CF & SD cards fast, as the files are huge!
Classic California Hero's Journey Mythology Goddesses! Tall, pretty, thin, fit, with pretty blue eyes and long straw-blonde hair, blowing on the sea breeze.

Modeling Gold 45 Revolver Gold'N'Virtue Lingerie with the famous golden gun! The Colt 45 Revolver comes directly form Clint Eastwood's/Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars--my favorite Western--heck my favorite all-time film, exalting the classical, archetypal themes I seek in all my photography!
She was tall, athletic, thin, pretty, and fit with gorgeous blue eyes and long legs! Shot with the D800 and my favorite workhorse lens the very sharp Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens. A slight change of pace for all my flickr fans!
Here's some HD video shot during the swimsuit/lingerie shoot that day:

The tall, golden-haired, blue-eyed goddess was modeling the black & gold "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!

Mythical ceatures I designed and folded, inspired by the Thunder Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I followed the look of the original mecha in Gosei Sentai Dairanger (in which some of Power Rangers was based on), simply because the mythology was much richer.
Who is that? Why is she facing the wall?
My hobby is photography.

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! :)
All the Best on Your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy & the yoga goddess!
The Birth of Venus! Beautiful Swimsuit Bikini Model Venus Goddess! Helen from Homer's Iliad! Pretty Tall Fitness Model Goddess 45SURF 45EPIC Hero's Odyssey Mythology Fine Art Model Photography!
Designed and folded by me from a single uncut square sheet of tracing paper (70cm * 70cm)
Final size: 24cm * 24cm
96x96 BP
Reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saraswati_(sculpture)
Finally I was able to design a Hindu Goddess! I didn't do so for so many years for 2 main fears:
- didn't wish to go beyond 64 grids (uncharted territory)
- didn't wish to make a messed up model, would've pissed people off!
[These fears are still pretty much alive XD]
I designed this months ago, for a competition,basically as an experiment. It turned out well, so I am comfortable sharing it now. It's not perfect though - I wish the face could've been better...but I learnt to shape the crown ,hair and ears for the 1st time!
(And yes, the irony is not lost on me - me folding something depicting wisdom+music+arts!😆)
About the model:
The Goddess is standing on a swan, itself perched on a lotus. The Goddess' 4 arms hold the rosary (meditation/spirituality) , the Veena (music and arts/harmony) and a book/script(knowledge). One hand is shown giving blessings.
The Goddess is usually depicted in white color, signifying truth, peace and purity. The swan is considered a sacred bird in Hindu mythology, which, offered a mixture of milk and water, is said to be able to drink the milk alone (signifies wisdom to discriminate between good and evil.)
Maybe now I can give Indian Gods & Goddesses a good try?!
Hope you guys like it :)
Taken from a different angle than I usually see it.
I would have posted my Ancient Technology picture from last week, but it was taken outside the entrance period requirement.
I hope the New Year brings everyone a new view on life. Although hopefully not looking down a crocodile's open mouth like this.
Be well Happy 2019
Medusa had the face of an ugly woman with snakes instead of hair; anyone who looked into her eyes was immediately turned to stone.
She was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena, was devoted to a life of celibacy; however, after being wooed by Poseidon and falling for him, she forgot her vows and married him. For this offence, she was punished by the goddess in a most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair that had charmed her husband was changed into a venomous snake; her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes turned into blood-shot, furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the onlooker; whilst her former roseate hue and milk-white skin assumed a loathsome greenish tinge.
Electro-diesel 73207 seen at the rear of a legendary lineup of BR-era locomotives, led by D6515 (33012) with 50026 and 50031 (masquerading as 001) sandwiched in the mighty mashup.
The venerable machines, running as 0Z33 Eastleigh Works to Swanage, have just traversed the picturesque and prickly Dorset heathland between Creech Heath and Hartland Moor on the run up to Furzebrook sidings. The reason for the classic cavalcade was the attendance by the fab foursome in the Swanage Railway's 2014 Diesel Gala event.
This area on the beautiful Isle of Purbeck is home to a thriving Gorse coverage, the thorny evergreen shrub instantly recognisable by it's yellow flowers is also known as Furze (or Whin) and it's proliferation in this area may in part explain the origin of the name of nearby village of Furzebrook.
Hades was the brother of Zeus and the god of the underworld. Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the Goddess of nature. The myth of Hades and Persephone another tale of myth & love and abduction in the Greek mythology.

The milkyway as seen from a Malibu sea cave at low tide! This cave can get a lot of water, and one can actually get trapped if the tide rises too far while you're in there! Especially if the waves are big! And trying to navigate your way out in the dark over slippery hidden rocks and waves can be tough! Saltwater is no friend to Nikon D810s nor Sony A7RIIs! :)

This is actually a hand-carving from Karelia in Russia in front of a hand-painted plate from Costa Rica.
In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of hunting, and in later times, the moon and chastity. Cypress trees were sacred to her.

Moss mythology includes Moss People. Could these moss mounds be homes to Moss People?
Or
Moss also is in Native North American mythology whereby they viewed it as a practical plant using moss for bandages, baby diapers, bedding and sponges. Moss is often used as an example of Native American cultural beliefs about finding the best uses of everything in nature, no matter how lowly.

Hero's Odyssey 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! Here's how I do it:
Print: Fuji Crystal Lightjet Metallic front-mounted to 1/4" Acrylic.
Acrylic: 1/4" with regular polished edge
Backing: White aluminum 3mm
Hanging Mechanism: Silver aluminum float box
I'll be using the top-of-the-line, museum-quality gallery format consists of the highest-quality prints on Fujicolor Crystal Archival Paper, front-mounted to UV-resistant protective acrylic, backed by a solid aluminum sheet, and fastened to an aluminum silver frame "float box" for mounting on the wall.
Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! 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.

So... I brought home a new girly today >:3 I wasn't expecting her to be home so soon, seen as I only ordered her like two days ago @_@ But I'm so happy she's here and in perfect condition >3< Well, aside from her wig (which is comparable in quality to Grell's stock wig, honestly) but it's passable for now.
She won't stay like this long, I've got some items on the way to turn her into one of my very favorite characters X3 Any guesses? ;D

She was tall, thin, pretty, and fit with gorgeous blue-green eyes and long, long legs! Shot with the new D800E and my favorite workhorse lens the very sharp Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens. A slight change of pace for all my flickr fans!
Here's some HD video shot during the lingerie shoot that day:

Modeling the black & gold "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!

In its original state (flic.kr/p/EicZNW).
This beautiful arrangement was given to my Mother by my boyfriend (who later became my husband!) Mother kept this all of her life, even through a major move! After she and my dad passed, I took the arrangement apart, washed the pieces, and reassembled it! It looks a little different from its original state but is still beautiful. I guess I will pass it on someday. It was gifted to my mom in 1968! Wow, plastic flowers are rare today! They sure do clean up pretty!
And this being fashioned after the goddess Juno may have affected one girlfriend and boyfriend's life...we married, have four lovely children, and have been married for 51 years!
[Some mythological information on Juno: Juno was an ancient Roman goddess, the protector and special counselor of the state. A daughter of Saturn, she is the wife of Jupiter and the mother of Mars, Vulcan, Bellona and Juventas.
She is the Roman equivalent of Hera, queen of the gods in Greek mythology. Juno is the goddess of marriage and childbirth.]
