Nikon D800E Photos of a Gorgeous Blond Bikini Model Goddess in Gold 45 Revolver Swimsuit with wavy-blond hair and pretty blue eyes! Pretty, pretty smile! A tall, thin, fit, classic California beach babe! Please share the exalted goddess with your friends.
Been busy getting my Socal / Malibu HDR Landscapes ready for the Los Angeles Gallery show! Don;t worry--I have been shooting many epic 45surf goddesses but have not had the time to finish them. :) Well, here's one now!
Here is some epic video I shot at the same time as the stills with the Sony Alpha NEX 6 camera with the 50 mm F/1.8 prime lens for nex6 e mount cameras bracketed to my Nikon D800E (cool bokeh!):

With the black 45surf surfboard! It gets hot in the sand in the sun! Wearing a leather Buffalo Nickel Cowboy Hat! :)
Combine the shallow-depth-of-field with Sony NEX-6's latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background! The Sony Alpha NEX 6 has much better bokeh than the cameras I have been using! :)
She was tall, thin, fit, toned, defined, and beautiful!
Modeling the Gold 45 Revolver(TM) Gold'N'Virtue(TM) American Flag Bikini! Stars & Stripes Forever! :)
Nikon D800E Photographs of a Beautiful Sandy-Blonde/Brunette Swimsuit Bikini Model shot with the new Nikon D800 and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens with the B+W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating filter. I always, always shoot with a CP filter--even on cloudy days!
Shot in both RAW & JPEG, but all these photos are RAWs finished in Lightroom 4 ! :)
May the HJM Goddesses guide, inspire, and exalt ye along yer heroic artistic journey!
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!

Not as much sun as yesterday, but certainly enough to hike on the Feldberg again. This time, we didn't go to the summit but staid on the panoramic path along the Todtnauer Hütte towards Stübenwasen and on to Notschrei.
Its cold, cold ... cold. Years of TV, movies, books have taught me that the only way to spend a christmas morning is to share a hot cup of cocoa while everyone sits around absorbing the holiday feeling.

happy sliders sunday! ♥
Bonkers and Tigger share a moment at the water bowls tonight. Bonkers didn't meow or tell Tigger to get out of the way or anything - I think he understands Tigger is not feeling well.
My submission for the Hyper Kollektiv
to the topic : SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE!
LEARN NOW TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS, YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND YOUR SKILLS. THE INTERNET REQUIRES NETWORKING. HOMO UNIVERSALIS 2.0 IS NOT A PERSON – IT IS A NETWORK. THE INTERNET IS NEITHER THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM NOR THE SOLUTION TO THE GLOBAL RECESSION. FREE YOURSELVES OF THE RULES AND BOUNDARIES OF SOCIETY AND LARGE CORPORATIONS. ART NEEDS TO BE FREED OF COMMERCIAL INTERESTS. START YOUR OWN MOVEMENT. USE WHATEVER YOU LIKE AND TRANSFORM IT WITH YOUR IDEA. COPY / PASTE THE PROCESS.
Some years ago I undertook a photographic essay based on the Tibetan Buddhist philopopher Tsongkhapa's concept of Tshul from the 14th century:
Tshul / Vestige:
"A visible trace, evidence, or sign of something that once existed but exists or appears no more."
The essay took me nearly four months to construct. It is still a part of me; we share our "Tshul"
I love the feel of this post-editing where Mehdi and Leila are standing in the rain and the washed up water mixed with sand presents golden shadows. A tranquil and heart warming setting unfolds where all that matters is that they are sharing time. Washington DC, 29 October 2017.

Nikon D810 Fine Art Photos John Muir Country-- Kings Canyon & Sequoia! Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Photography during a Breaking Thunderstorm with Majestic and Interesting Skies!
I always love getting away and photographing John Muir Country--Yosemite, Kings Canyon & Sequoia in California I also shot it all with the Sony A7r as well as the Nikon D810 and the wonderful Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens as well as the new Tamron AFA012N700 15-30 mm f/2.8-Di VC Wide-Angle Lens for Nikon F (FX) Cameras and the Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens !
I hope that you enjoy browsing through my photos and comparing and contrasting the Nikon D810, Sony A7r, Sony A7rII, and the various lenses!
Long story short, you can't go wrong!
The Sony A7r and the Nikon D810 have the same sensor! While the D810 saves the RAW in 14bit lossless compressed (or uncompressed0, the A7r performs a bit of lossy compression, which I have never noticed, but which some say they have!
At any rate, I am super excited for the Nikon's next camera as well as for the recently released Sony A7rII Mirrorless Digital Camera which I now own! Some highlights include a 42 MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor, a
BIONZ X Image Processor,
Internal UHD 4K Video & S-Log2 Gamma, and a
5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization system! You can see some of my fine art photos from the amazing camera in my photostream, with many more to come!
And I have a feeling that Nikon will be releasing something epic soon--a 50mp+ camera with awesome dynamic range!
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!
Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! I worked on phototranistors and photodiodes as well as an artificial retina for the blind. :)

Compare these D810 shots with the photos taken with the Sony A7r and new Sony 16-35mm Vario-Tessar T FE F4 ZA OSS E-Mount Lens!
After looking through my work,what do you think about Nikon vs. Sony? Do you prefer the Nikon D810 and Nikkor / Tamron / Sigma lenses /glass, or the Sony A7r and Sony Sonnar Carl Zeiss e-mount glass/lenses? I love them both! And I am so excited about the Sony A7rII !

I get asked a lot of questions (I love questions--ask away!), and one of the more common ones is "What kind of camera shoul I buy?" Begin with anything, and then, when it falls short of the beauty you are trying to capture, invest in a new one! The important thing is to think of it as buying not something for yourself, but a gift for the world, who will witness all the magnificent photos you shoot with it! Then, the next most important thing to do is to shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot! For each and every epic shot on an awesome camera helps justify its cost! I shoot with the awesome Nikon D810, Sony A7R, and now the Sony A7RII! And in the long run, the cost of the camera is a very small entity, when conpared to the cost of life and time. So buy a great camera, and then give the gift of epic photography to the world! 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

These two women were sitting on a bench in Verdi Square. The pizza looked quite delicious, but I didn't think it would be a good idea to ask them if I could have a slice...
Note: this photo was published as an illustration in an undated (Jan 2010) BooRah blog titled "New Pizza On The Block, West New York - 100%." And it was published in an Apr 14, 2010 blog titled "The value of transparency." It was also published in an undated (mid-Jul 2011) Simple Photographic Dictionary blog to illustrate the word "share."
Moving into 2012, the photo was published in a Feb 6, 2012 blog titled "How can I share a large computer screen with a laptop?" It was also published in an Apr 14, 2012 ShareOffers blog, with the same caption as I had written on this Flickr page -- but no detailed notes.
*********************************
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.
Explored........... thanks to you all.
Keep in touch .............. communication for all.
Tow elderIy men were sitting at Bari Imam's shrine and having chat and sharing someting with their Mobile-Phone Hand-sets. I was looking for a candid shot but oney guy noticed me........ ;-D
A feature of Redhill was the sharing of the up platforms by different trains. Here, a London-bound electric departs, while a Tonbridge line diesel awaits its path.

I post edited this image of Bryana a spirited young lady I met while on a business trip who worked at the front desk of the hotel I stayed at. I wanted to bring out her eyes and front of her face with some sharpness while, texturing her hair and creating a grainy or staticky feel on the ambience surrounding her. It gives a feeling of being near a fireplace and just chatting with someone interesting and special. It's about realness, interaction that can only happen when we're willing to share a moment. Millington Tennessee, 15 August 2017.
"Is not this the fast that I choose [says the Lord]:
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house…"
- Isaiah 58:6a. 7a, which is part of today's first reading at Mass.
A delightful medieval fresco in San Lorenzo fuori le mura shows the Roman deacon saint, Lawrence, feeding the poor. One of the works of the deacons of Rome was to oversee the Church's charitable works and almsgiving. It was called 'diakonia', which is Greek for 'service'.
