Well, after spending a solid week cleaning out my digital attic—the desktop file, the countless forgotten downloads, and the mysterious "miscellaneous tasks" that seem to multiply on their own—I was finally ready for the big leap. Or, as Microsoft so cheerily puts it, an "upgrade" to Windows 11.
Now, those of us who have braved these updates before know what this really means. It's less of an upgrade and more of a digital baptism by fire. You know, where your favorite programs suddenly decide they've never met you before, and your printer becomes a surly paperweight that refuses to acknowledge its sole purpose in life.
So, this morning, I faced a monumental decision: Do I risk it all for the shiny new operating system, or do I escape to the coast and pretend my computer problems don't exist?
As you can see from the photo, the call of the ocean (and the fear of my printer's revenge) won the day. Windows 11 can wait. The waves, on the other hand, were not going to update themselves.

Yeah, that's how I feel when someone ask me if I released my much awaited HDR UNLEASHED book.
But, I can finally announce now that by early July, this year 2012, it will be available to the public. My techniques will be finally revealed to everyone who will get the book.
During my absence from flickr, I fought so many demons in my life. I even forgot what I did before with my HDRs. But now, I got the courage to face all of you and finish what I said I will. With my KK Touch back in my system, it shall be written, it shall be done. I thank you all for being too patient and understanding.
It will not be a showcase of my HDR pictures alone. It will contain the recipe for my way of doing the Kris Kros HDRs.
So, in about 1 to 2 months from now, you can pre-order my book. And to those who asked about whether or not I will sign the books, yes, I will when ordered directly from me.

Now that I'm done clarifying the situation with my book, what's the story about the BIG ELEPHANT a.k.a. The Big Procrastinator.
Well, this image is not totally mine. I got bored with my pictures. Remember the DISNEY thing I posted?
This is actually made up of 3 pictures courtesy of my new friend Rafael aka maesk. I was just browsing his photostream and my eyes got caught with these 3 beautiful pictures shot in South Africa. I asked him if I can work on his pictures and he was so kind to agree with the collaboration. I am so grateful to him that I was able to work on them.
Here are Rafael's originals if you want to take a look.
I'm waiting for a phone call and rather than clean my house and get ready for Thanksgiving I'm editing photos. What's wrong with me? Ugh! Off to clean.

The majority of the red-winged blackbirds have headed south for the winter but a few, like this one, remain. Standish Township, Michigan
sometimes it's more fun to dress a doll than iron the bed linen...
hah.. did I really say sometimes? I mean *always*.
Not the greatest photograph, but this is the first time that I have seen a flock of Great Egrets around here in the middle of January, standing on a completely frozen pool at Bombay Hook,NWR.
Hopefully they are able to either move South or survive the winter cold.

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. - Don Marquis

After much procrastination, and a few missteps, I’ve made a photo book of my 2023 trip to Kenya with Simon of Bella Camp Mara. There may be one more revision once I let the dust settle. This was the last image I processed for the book, a handsome male lion resting in the morning. Lions are my favorite animal. They are extremely social, intelligent, fun loving, and above all, brutes. I’m looking forward to sharing their space again next year. Thanks everyone for checking out my images and I wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year. Take care, Mike
My first notice of this gate was from a car passing by at 60+ mph. It passed by in a flash, but in that instant every detail seemed imprinted in my mind. Funny how that works. The mind absorbs so much detail, some of subliminal, for later recall. Sure the details are sometimes fuzzy, but the big picture usually remains. That's how it is for me anyway. And I find myself constantly taking these mental snapshots whenever I travel. Especially when driving. I'm not the type to stare straight ahead, locked into a tunnel vision. My head acts as if on a pivot, frequently scanning both sides of the road, more like a tail gunner in an old bomber plane than a modern day commuter. Just can't help myself. It never ends, even with areas I pass every day...comparing how they've changed since yesterday, or how today's light and sky are influencing their appearance. My photography is largely based on shooting microcosms of the environment. Focusing on things everyone sees, but hardly anyone notices. Such was the case with this old gate. I related instantly to everything about it. It was one of those haphazard scenes that felt completely stage-crafted. The curved pathway, receding into the unknown. The gnarled tree. And the utterly perfect gate obstructing the path, yet offering a glimpse off what lies ahead. All great visual building blocks. But what puts this over the top for me are the angles. Here the weight of the gate causing the supporting posts to tilt resulting in the sag. The scene is infinitely more forlorn this way, and it's precisely the feature that caught my eye in the high speed drive-by. I wasted not a moment returning to the scene to capture this image. So easy to procrastinate on things like this. But my fear in delay was coming back in a few weeks to find everything square and straightened. Oftentimes for me, the absence of perfection is what defines it.
After procrastinating for several years I decided to buy a GSO 8” F4 Newtonian with the heavy duty focuser. Apparently it’s a rebranded TS-Optics Newtonian. It has a larger secondary mirror than the F5 version that will suit my full frame DSLR. With my C11 I could only squeeze in the smaller galaxies and planetary nebulae. As an example, on this frame, I would have only fitted in Barnard 33 or The Horsehead nebulae with the focal reducer on. Here’s my first image through my new scope with the pesky bright star Alnitak creating some havoc. The new scope arrived just before the Vicsouth Star Party so unfortunately I didn’t have time to practice collimating it at home first. I’ve now done a full circle with scopes because I owned an 8” Newtonian from Astro Optical suppliers some 50 years ago.

I've got the final exam of my degree tomorrow, and so rather than revise I'm messing around with old shots I haven't yet processed!
This is one from a cold morning by the River Brathay, looking towards the Langdale Pikes, back in October - its a stich of 7 shots taken in portrait orientation combined together.
I've a page on facebook here - if you like my images please feel free to say hello and follow me on there too. Thank you.
