Very cool new ebook & Ipad app release from +NASA  Earth as Art
Very cool new ebook & Ipad app release from +NASA  Earth as Art Download it here:http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/703154main_earth_art-ebook.pdf Ipad App:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nasa-earth-as-art/id577527077?mt=8 In 1960, the United States put its first Earth-observing environmental satellite into orbit around the planet. Over the decades, these satellites have provided invaluable information, and the vantage point of space has provided new perspectives on Earth. This book celebrates Earth’s aesthetic beauty in the patterns, shapes, colors, and textures of the land, oceans, ice, and atmosphere. The book features 75 stunning images of Earth from the Terra, Landsat 5, Landsat 7, EO-1, and Aqua satellites. Sensors on these satellites can measure light outside of the visible range, so the images show more than what is visible to the naked eye. The images are intended for viewing enjoyment rather than scientific interpretation. The beauty of Earth is clear, and the artistry ranges from the surreal to the sublime.  Earth as art—enjoy the gallery.  NASA Science Mission DirectorateEarth Science Division  This post has been reshared 1 times on Google+ View this post on Google+

After posting a question to 500px here are the answers for items related to sale of images…on the new marketplace This is only somewhat related to nude image sales and printing, but there are many other questions that will pertain to everyone using the service. The only question i failed to ask was that of variable downloaded image pricing. So I will try to get that answered also as I know many would feel the 2.99 price is not enough for personal use…. I would like to thank Alex at +500px for taking the time to answer the questions.  I have to say i find their changes very positive so far and they seem to be listening to the users. I would hope to see more features and sales items, but for now it is very interesting at least to me.. I have also ordered one of their Canvas prints and will report back on how it shows up and what the overall quality is for the price. CanvasPop seems like a really nice company to deal with, but as we all know, proof is in the print… #500px   #Photosales   #glamour   #glamourphotography  ———————————————————————————————————— Hi Brent, I'm happy to try to answer these: […]

So this is insanity
In album I have been trying to buy the BOND 50 – 22 Blue Ray set for like a week – First I saw it was in the Sharper Image Catalog for 259.99 not a bad price… then I looked around and found it on Best Buy for 149.99 with Free Shipping….wow that's a great price… But here is the catch with these two vendors – Sharper Image (even thou its a brand new catalog) will not honor the price or the item and just pulled it off there site and you cannot order it… Best Buy is offering free shipping, but as you can see it shipping is not available and also it is not available in all but one or two stores for pickup in the Bay Area? Anyone know or tried to buy this set? Am I just having no luck whatsoever? +Best Buy  #bestbuy   #sharperimage   #bond50   View this post on Google+

This is what I can show here
This is what I can show here…… and I respect the NSFW aspect of G+ – as when I was shooting through my stream the other day at work one of my workers came in and was like Holy Crap man what are you looking at… then there was an hour debate as to if I took the photo and if he could hold the reflectors at the next shoot…guess it could have been the bosses wife… oops… If you want to see the rest see it here on 500px: http://500px.com/photo/18999859 And please let me know what you think… positive or negative…. want to be negative and not post your feelings here – feel free to share them with my in a private post… I am trying to better understand the aversion to certain types of photos….and the why behind it… #glamour   #glamourphotography   #modelshoot   View this post on Google+

Well +500px I think I like the changes you are making to your marketplace – that said I have some questions Today started off with an email from the new 500px marketplace saying someone wanted to purchase an image I had not yet enabled in my store – This intrigued me and I dove into the new marketplace to see the changes…. Here is what I posted up at 500px to try to get some clarification on image sales in their new marketplace – Pretty nice so far – Limited yes, but seems to be off to a great start.  Any opinions from G+ users? Any additional questions we should try to get answers for? Just think if Google bought 500px – holy moly I would never leave the site… ————————————————– First I have to say I really like the changes happening to the market – I just hope after having the following questions answered it will be my new location to try to sell images: #1 – Is the sale of nude images something that will remain as an option in the marketplace? This is very important to me as I have invested a top on time and effort into […]

Hey Wedding Photographers – Can you chime in on this conversation and give a few helpful hints to +Veronica Ruiz because I can sure tell you I am not a pro at weddings – unless everyone is half naked and I think that's actually called an orgy…not a wedding.. or a divorce..or pending litigation.. Post over on the original thread if you would …. and lets see if the G+ can help… https://plus.google.com/u/0/110007278420345367676/posts/gfVW2EW7Uke Reshared post from +Veronica Ruiz Here's a question for any photog willing to answer: How much would you charge to photograph a wedding using just one camera, one lens, and zero props? Cost should include travel from bride's home, to church, to reception, personal time to shoot photos, and post-processing. No printing. Photos would be thrown on a cd or into SmugMug. Any price suggestions? View this post on Google+

I know there are a million posts about #ingress  that said this is the best description I have seen about what it is all about…. All Photographers here should be Portal Makers or somehow involved in what others find.. as we know where all the cool secret places are… Or as +Brian Rose voiced on another thread – Photowalks might be truly much more interesting now…. I am all for anything that gets us all out more exploring the world… And I still want invite …. even though it is full pier pressure induced at this point… it just look cool… I am all for my phone giving me secret missions….just hopefully not self destructing afterward… Reshared post from +Moritz Tolxdorff Ingress – Game guide and secrets About #Ingress .Ingress is an Augmented Reality Game (ARG) where you have to go to certain locations and hack portals. There are two factions in this game, the Enlightened and the Resistance. The story behind the game is that a +CERN scientific experiment created a cascade that released exotic matter (XM) around the world and portals have been formed in locations like statues,  museums and other public spaces. Both factions are trying to capture these […]

Well that's a shame
A) I already upgraded all my music B) I downloaded it all C) Match really does not work very well and seems to be very confussing when trying to match space on devices with cloud space with backup space… D) I only have one device now… Really is no point…. Maybe I just never got Match – or I simply did not need it or I really need 3 or more devices…. It will not be missed….  View this post on Google+
