About K9.
K9 (occasionally written as K-9) is the name of various fictional robotic dogs used in the British sci-fi series Doctor Who. The meaning of K9 is a pun on the pronunciation of canine meaning dog.
K9’s first appearance was in The Invisible Enemy, Season 15 of the Classic era in 1977, during the Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor era.
K9 was voiced by three actors, the most well-known being John Leeson, and operated by some special effects staff, with Mat Irvine being one of them.

Happy Fence Friday
A wintry image of a steel fence with fisheye effects.
Have fun, keep smiling....wishing all a Happy weekend!
This photograph captures a festive street performance featuring two performers dressed in black outfits adorned with reflective or metallic patterns. One performer is holding a flaming torch, indicating a fire performance. The background includes a sign that reads "oh! CHRISTMAS TREE" and "only tainmen," likely referring to "entertainment." There are also blurred figures and a horse-drawn carriage, suggesting a holiday setting. The scene takes place outdoors, likely in the evening or night, given the dim lighting and presence of streetlights.
The combination of the performers, the fire element, and the festive decorations creates a dynamic and captivating image that showcases the artistry and excitement of holiday street performances.

A mix and match from file images. One from Bedok reservoir taken recently with Reggie and the other shot from Taiwan. i am sorry if I have offended those who do not believe in digital effects. It's just fun play over here, nothing more. Below are the 2 images used.

Best to view on BLACK
Did you know that the beautiful blue colour of our kingfishers is an illusion. The actual pigment in their feathers is a dull brown, however the structure of the feathers causes a scattering of light that amplifies blue light and suppresses red light, the result is the beautiful electric blue colour seen here.
Interestingly, the Tyndall effect is also responsible for making the sky blue and blue eye colouration.
A macro photograph of one of the 40 infrared Motion Analysis Raptor 4 Cameras that I use in the Motion Capture Studio.
Cameras and Photography are a part of my everyday life, and I use a wide range of interesting and unusual camera equipment at work and for my other interests. This includes everything from capturing the motion of Actors for 3D CGI and Animation, to extreme close-up Photomicrography with a CFI Microscope Objective Lens. and imaging the Universe in very specific (Narrowband) wavelengths of the Electromagnetic Spectrum of Light with a Scientific Camera (with the sensor cooled down to -30℃ / -22°F) on my Telescope.

Can you see, the storm approaching
Can you see, the clouds a-rolling
Can you see, the darkness a-churning
Can you see, the wicked arising
Can you see, the wave’s a-coming
Can you feel, the wind a-blowing
Can you see, the wave’s a-breaking
Can you feel, the gusts a-roaring
Can you hear, the thunder a-rumbling
Can you see, the rain a-pouring
Can you see, the lightning a-striking
Can you see, the hail a-falling
Can you see, the tyranny advancing
Can you see, the Tribulation a-nearing
Can you see, God’s judgment a-looming
Can you see, the Christ appearing

I'm happy to present my new office interiors to those who haven't visited. :)
Lemme start with my room.... :D. Green(growth) and White(peace) are my current fav. colors and no wonder most of the office has this theme. Well, we did have an architect, he was more like a contractor and we had to provide all the designs and details. One simple funda that we followed. That is, office is the only place where you spend most of your time than what you think you would spend at home. So, make your work place as pleasing as possible. I hope you guys like it. BTW, Flickr helped me a lot in finding good reference images. And, thanks to all those talented artists out there! :)
