  4. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Magnificent Late October Tampa Bay Sunset Five Years Ago At Apollo Beach Home 360°x360° - IMRAN™&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This perfect moment of tranquility was captured with 2GB worth of Nikon D850 handheld photos. It was autumn and the last week of October 2018 was coming up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I took exactly 4 dozen photos as accurately as I could, trying to keep my hands steady and arms level. I did that while turning full 360 three times hoping to not move too much from the spot I started at. I wanted to catch all the details top to bottom, and all around, even though some of the edges get messed up when handheld photos are stitched.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is ironic that 2GB of photos must be reduced into a 5MB or so image for Facebook to accept. In the full image, especially on a large screen TV, you would see this 30,000 x 150,000 pixels image as if you were standing here next to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can see my Yamaha WaveRunner jet ski, which was lost after a storm a few years later. The DJI Phantom 4 drone stood on dock ready on deck &amp;nbsp;for a sunset flight.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A boat was passing my dock heading home. This was just four months before I would get Kennedy, my German Shepherd Dog you all know, as well as K2 a year after that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;© 2018-2024 IMRAN™&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Kennedy and K2, my German Shepherd Dogs, were excitedly waiting to go for a walk after eating. Usually they like to go to the dock AFTER the walk, but even though I did not hear any telltale sounds of dolphins nearby, they both raced first to the dock. Kennedy&#39;s barking told me dolphins were indeed there.

Since the iPhone 13 Pro Max has such an awesome camera, and it is with me all the time, sometimes I do not get to use this Nikon (or even the now 15 years old D300) as much I would like. Today, as I saw a deep orange color form over the moody sky I decided to do this livestream with the Nikon D850 and it&#39;s 4K video. But for file size reasons I only recorded it at regular HD &amp;amp; H.264 compression. The wind-noise reduction is better on this https://youtu.be/MO_wtHQAiUs .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was a hot Saturday and the 90F felt hotter than usual a few hours ago. Now a strong wind, which makes it hard to be heard on camera, makes the temperature more pleasant but definitely not great for audio commentary. In either case, enjoy a spectacular Tampa Bay, Florida, boating sunset livestream with my German Shepherd Dogs, Kennedy and K2, at the dock of my blessed home this wonderful Saturday.

  7. I have not flown my DJI Phantom 4 drone in a long time. But I did manage to do so tonight. I did not get a chance to transfer the images to the computer yet but wanted to post one from the many unpublished ones.
  8. This was from just two months after I had bought the drone in 2016. It was an evening a few days after the 4th of July 2016.
  9. A lit-up boat crosses Tampa Bay towards Apollo Beach, while a ship leaving the Port of Tampa goes in the other direction in the distance.
  10. Magnificent dusk spans the sky as I capture the scene from the drone a few feet above the water. No editing, no filters, no processing at all. Just nature&#39;s magic at Maghreb time.

I wanted to capture the view of the fireworks from all around the Tampa Bay area. This is Part 1, presented as a quick and dirty music video.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kennedy and K2, my German Shepherd Dogs, were with me, as I recorded this drone flight and as the night boomed with the explosions from fireworks. I launched the drone a few minutes before 9 PM at which hour I expected the fireworks to start in earnest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enjoy the music. The music is actually just a 30-seconds riff I created to build on later. It even has two notes I hit accidentally and would not use in any actual music album. In the interest of time, I just repeated the loop a few times for this video. Enjoy the fireworks. Share with your friends who will also enjoy them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;© 2021 IMRAN™&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;#4thOfJuly, #aerial, #ApolloBeach, #Beach, #blessed, #Boating, #boats, #DJI, #drone, #fireworks, #Flight, #Florida, #Flying, #gratitude, #IMRAN, #IndependenceDay, #Lifestyle, #MusicVideo, #Nature, #Phantom4, #seaside, #Tampa, #TampaBay&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;TnITTtw-t TnITTtw-translate-selection-button&quot; style=&quot;left: 249.86328125px; top: 324px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/1546791204465911018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=1546791204465911018&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1546791204465911018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1546791204465911018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2021/07/apollo-beach-tampa-bay-florida.html' title='Apollo Beach Tampa Bay Florida Fireworks Aerial Music Video - IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/X-cFfYri27w/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>1021 Symphony Isles Blvd, Apollo Beach, FL 33572, USA</georss:featurename><georss:point>27.768243 -82.43286</georss:point><georss:box>-0.54199083617884725 -117.58911 56.078476836178844 -47.276610000000005</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-5977313885354301885</id><published>2021-07-02T17:40:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2021-07-02T17:40:59.981-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Aerial"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Apollo Beach"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Environment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Fish"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Florida"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Flying"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="German Shepherd Dogs"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Life"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Nature"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pollution"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sunset"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tampa"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tampa Bay"/><title type='text'>Plenty of Dead Fish - IMRAN™</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; src=&quot;https://youtube.com/embed/H080KkC7sI0&quot; style=&quot;background-image: url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H080KkC7sI0/hqdefault.jpg);&quot; width=&quot;480&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; data-block=&quot;true&quot; data-editor=&quot;6bddg&quot; data-offset-key=&quot;5gflo-0-0&quot; style=&quot;caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;_1mf _1mj&quot; data-offset-key=&quot;5gflo-0-0&quot; style=&quot;direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;span data-offset-key=&quot;5gflo-0-0&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Plenty of (Dead) Fish - IMRAN™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; data-block=&quot;true&quot; data-editor=&quot;6bddg&quot; data-offset-key=&quot;3gh2-0-0&quot; style=&quot;caret-color: rgb(28, 30, 33); color: #1c1e21; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;_1mf _1mj&quot; data-offset-key=&quot;3gh2-0-0&quot; style=&quot;direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;&quot;&gt;&lt;span data-offset-key=&quot;3gh2-0-0&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Unfortunately, it is not a cute wordplay humorous title, but it is accurate. Thanks to sleazy organizations and corrupt politicians releasing tons of toxic waste into Tampa Bay waters the last 3 days have caused thousands of dead and dying fish to float by. Who knows how many more died in the wider and deeper parts of the bay, and elsewhere. EACH white spot (especially if you see this on a monitor vs a small device) is a dead or dying fish. Hundreds that are lodged on the rocks and shorelines are not even clearly visible.

K2 was a three months old puppy when I recorded this video at the dock of my blessed home on Tampa Bay, in Apollo Beach, Florida. This was a few days after my birthday last year, and only 5 weeks since K2 had found his forever family home here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As boats go by you can see Kennedy keep an eye on them but his real interest is to wait for his dolphin buddies to show up. K2 in the meantime is getting ON Kennedy&#39;s nerves, by getting UNDER his skin AND his body to playfully bite at the larger dog&#39;s legs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I love how Kennedy is so gentle even when he play fights puppies, smaller dogs. His tenderness is most incredible when I have seen him approach babies in strollers and sniff but without waking up the sleeping infant. That is better than some people&#39;s kids I know.

Enjoy the 1-minute music video.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Full-fledged DSLR cameras like the Nikon D850 can take some great pictures as you have seen. Video recording ability was one of the reasons I waited for this model. But it is very hard to do handheld casual videos, especially when trying to manually zoom in by rotating the tight barrel of the 70-300mm Nikkor lens.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It leads to a twisting motion on the hand holding the camera, and the video will show those movements. But still, I had wanted to zoom in on the mind-blowing colors of this sunset on Tampa Bay. This was at my blessed home in Apollo Beach, Florida.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;© 2020 IMRAN™&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;#ApolloBeach, #Boating, #D850, #Florida, #IMRAN, #ImranAnwar, #jetskis, #Lifestyle, #Nature, #Nikon, #seaside, #ships, #Sunset, #Tampa, #TampaBay, #musicvideo, #Video&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/1565958257620706391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=1565958257620706391&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1565958257620706391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1565958257620706391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2020/10/60-seconds-mind-blowing-tampa-bay.html' title='60 Seconds Mind-Blowing Tampa Bay Boating Sunset (Nikon D850 Music Video) - IMRAN™ '/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/3UcQM8F6T5c/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Tampa Bay, Florida, USA</georss:featurename><georss:point>27.763383 -82.5436722</georss:point><georss:box>-0.54685083617884445 -117.6999222 56.073616836178843 -47.3874222</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-3401631605626478888</id><published>2020-10-11T20:01:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2020-10-11T20:06:12.684-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Apollo Beach"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="boats"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Clouds"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="D850"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dusk"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Florida"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Gratitude"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Night"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nightfall"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Nikon"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="palm trees"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="reflections"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="seaside"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sunset"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tampa Bay"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Timelapse"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="waves"/><title type='text'>Incredible Inspirational Ideas Terrific Timelapse Tampa Bay Boating Beautiful Sunset Scene Shared - IMRAN™</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/8ik9odOA7gI&quot; width=&quot;480&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  22. A foreboding mood settled on the horizon while the bright blue sky above tried to liven it up below. The deep red bled from the sky was bleeding into the melting gold, like the way men throughout history have shed the blood of others to gain wealth and power. The onshore wind slapped the water into a persistent pattern of little crests and troughs, each a tiny tempest in its own world, yet totally insignificant on the ocean of time. &amp;nbsp;The palm trees danced a frenzied dance wanting to fly responding to the wild wind but rooted forever in the circumstance of their existence. Yet, it all comes together, like a miracle, when all these elements, and forces of light and dark, movement and stillness, unite to hasten the end of the darkness, in preparation for a new day&#39;s dawn shared by all of them. All of us. Let us unite again, as Americans, as Pakistanis, as earth-dwellers, and as humans, to start a new chapter before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
  23. I hope you enjoy this music video The horizon was a little more darkly cloudy than I would have preferred for it to be a long drawn out colors sunset and dusk. But who am I to complain when the result is still so much to be grateful for. This is a timelapse video made from literally almost 2000 individual photos taken by the Nikon D850. Each image was 25-30 MB so that would have taken forever to process. I just wanted to test how the results would be, so I actually made this from images just 5-10% of the original size.&lt;br /&gt;

It was SO red against a pink sky that even the Nikon D850, which I did not get a chance to change the settings of from a photoshoot last night, was showing the red sun as golden yellow. But the much greater detail is obvious when you see the small bird sitting atop the channel marker.   © 2019 IMRAN™&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/1007263105956450542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=1007263105956450542&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1007263105956450542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1007263105956450542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2019/09/1-minute-tampa-bay-florida-stunning-red.html' title='1 Minute Tampa Bay Florida Stunning Red Sunset Boating Livestream - IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/-SaZtgA9wvM/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-4376833269155955274</id><published>2018-12-21T20:30:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2018-12-29T22:50:25.348-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="&quot;Imran Anwar&quot;"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="2008"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Anniversary"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Clouds"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Death"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Family"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Florida"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Gratitude"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="horizon"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Memories"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Miami"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mourning"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Music"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Ocean"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sunset"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tragedy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Video"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Yachting"/><title type='text'>Ocean Of Tears, Memories Of Beloved Parents - Miami, Florida Sunset - IMRAN™</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;

  41. &lt;p&gt;I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones. I was blessed enough to spend it at my blessed home in Apollo Beach, Florida. After nearly 6 or more weeks I was able to make time to get out on the water and enjoy the absolutely perfect boating weather that Tampa Bay offers almost year-round. This is just a quick spin on the jet ski as I was coming back home from a great time and ride out to beer can Island.&lt;/p&gt;

  45. &lt;p&gt;Many of us became aware of the term flat spin from the deadly scene in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Top Gun&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, when &lt;strong&gt;Tom Cruise&lt;/strong&gt;&#39;s F14 TomCat loses airflow over the wings and spins flat down to the sea.&lt;/p&gt;
  46. &lt;p&gt;Thankfully there was no flat spin, nor any crash in water, in the filming of this aerial spin drone flying quick view of the flats on &lt;strong&gt;Tampa Bay&lt;/strong&gt; at &lt;strong&gt;Apollo Beach&lt;/strong&gt;, across from my blessed home.&lt;/p&gt;
  47. &lt;p&gt;It was a 45 seconds clip but I sped it up to save you time. :-) It was part of my livestream today which got disconnected a minute into the video.&lt;/p&gt;
  48. &lt;p&gt;I will share one by one the main clips I happened to have hit record on during flight. I hope you enjoy this virtual visit in visual reality.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; © 2018 IMRAN™&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/2791263851391541236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=2791263851391541236&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/2791263851391541236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/2791263851391541236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2018/10/tampa-bay-flats-spin-apollo-beach.html' title='Tampa Bay Flats Spin Apollo Beach Florida.- IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/J2hj2RheJys/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-4139330609384273882</id><published>2017-08-24T04:03:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2017-08-24T04:03:27.732-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Adventure"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Apollo Beach"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Florida"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran Anwar"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Music"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Music Video"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sailing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tampa Bay"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Travel"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Travelogue"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Video"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Yachting"/><title type='text'>Apollo Beach Tampa Bay Florida Jet Ski Racing Sailing Boating Cruising HyperLapse - IMRAN™</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/meM11bCsSHk&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  49. &lt;p&gt;I love Florida and I love boating. Combining those two is easy when I am blessed to live in Apollo Beach, on Tampa Bay.&lt;br /&gt; This is a low-resolution (merely 640x480) video saved from a Twitter Livestream, using their Periscope platform. The quality of Periscope videos is much lower than FaceBook&#39;s livestreaming quality these days.&lt;br /&gt; But, you can see why this area is a boating paradise for every kind of mariner, See cruise ships, tankers, cargo ships, yachts, sailboats, cruisers, boats, pontoons, jet skis and almost every form of watercraft in this one video.&lt;br /&gt; It is sped up to nearly 500% so a half hour stream can be enjoyed in under 4.5 minutes.&lt;br /&gt; The music track is my nTrance To The Tunnel Of Love, the title album of my music CD that you can listen to on Spotify, Google Play, Microsoft, iTunes, CDbaby, and all major music platforms.&lt;br /&gt; Enjoy. Like, love, comment, share!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; © 2017 IMRAN™&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/4139330609384273882/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=4139330609384273882&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/4139330609384273882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/4139330609384273882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2017/08/apollo-beach-tampa-bay-florida-jet-ski_24.html' title='Apollo Beach Tampa Bay Florida Jet Ski Racing Sailing Boating Cruising HyperLapse - IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/meM11bCsSHk/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-5839800275061985179</id><published>2017-08-11T03:35:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2017-08-24T04:05:32.921-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Beach"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="blessings"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="boardwalk"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Clouds"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="iPhone"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Livestream"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Long Island"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Luxury"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Nature"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="New York"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sunset"/><title type='text'>Sunset Boardwalk Beach Walk.

  51. &lt;p&gt;Come along for a walk on my boardwalk in New York as a beautiful Long Island sunset acts as a backdrop for exciting views of a powered parachute flying by while I get up close and personal with a mama deer and her baby.&lt;/p&gt;
  52. &lt;p&gt;Then watch birds and boats pass by me at the beach while the colors of dusk fill the sky.&lt;/p&gt;

  67. Florida Boating Jet Skiing Tubing Fun &amp;amp; Wipeout Music Video 4K - IMRAN™&lt;br /&gt;
  68. I was relaxing on Memorial Day Weekend, when I saw a group of friends on a boat and jet ski with a tube in tow appear from the left. I clicked to record what I figured would be a fun thing to watch happening. And it sure was. Enjoy this music video I made using my &quot;Start At &#39;The End&#39;&quot; music track first released with a 360° Montauk New York driving video. Watch for the tubing fun and the wipeout! Enjoy the boats going by showing why Apollo Beach is such a great place to enjoy life on the water.&lt;br /&gt;

  72. &lt;p&gt;The stunning blue water and powder blue sky were just perfect. The horizon looks curved because this is from a 360° spherical video action cam.&lt;/p&gt;
  73. &lt;p&gt;This is a one-third crop of a Nikon KeyMission 360 action cam on a selfie stick I shoved down my life vest.&lt;/p&gt;
  74. &lt;p&gt;I cropped it or you would also be seeing my chest hair and up my nose in more detail than you would like!&lt;/p&gt;
  75. &lt;p&gt;Enjoy the fun ride on my Yamaha WaveRunner SVHO. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; © 2017 IMRAN™&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/914728237165657788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=914728237165657788&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/914728237165657788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/914728237165657788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2017/02/waverunner-on-tampa-bay-florida-imran.html' title='WaveRunner On Tampa Bay, Florida  - IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/zV7DzOWpkD0/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-6560879994179079219</id><published>2017-01-25T11:12:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2017-02-28T22:56:36.172-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Adventure"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Entertainment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Florida"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Jet Ski"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyle"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sailing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tampa Bay"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Watersports"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Yamaha"/><title type='text'>Tampa Bay Florida Jet Ski Ride After Storms - IMRAN™ (HyperLapse)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/aCjZs1JuNTs&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Finally after the storms had passed &lt;strong&gt;Tampa Bay Florida &lt;/strong&gt;was its beautiful normal version again.&lt;/p&gt;
  76. &lt;p&gt;I managed to get back on my jet ski briefly. This is a &lt;strong&gt;hyperlapse&lt;/strong&gt; (accelerated) video of my ride.&lt;/p&gt;
  77. &lt;p&gt;The sailboat sounds were just fun to add.&lt;/p&gt;

  86. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Or say they say.
  87.  
  88. I remember in the early days of the &lt;b&gt;Internet&lt;/b&gt; how animated &lt;b&gt;GIF&lt;/b&gt;s were so popular because they were one of the few ways of showing movement or multiple images in the era of very limited bandwidth. As the Internet&#39;s largest use became web sites (in addition to email) animated GIFs tended to fall off the horizon, no pun intended.

  90. Now, suddenly they are all the rage again, for some time. Ironically, it is still not easy to make quality animated GIFs, or to share them. &lt;b&gt;FaceBook&lt;/b&gt; does not let you upload them, but finally is letting you see them if they are linked from somewhere else. &lt;b&gt;Flickr&lt;/b&gt;, that was sleeping while &lt;b&gt;Instagram&lt;/b&gt; took over the masses&#39; photo craze market, makes it possible to upload animated GIFs, but the last time I checked they will NOT display, unless you include a separate link to one of the other size versions that Flickr offers.
  91.  
  92. That is why, even though I have been doing Internet video from the time the first release of &lt;b&gt;QuickTime&lt;/b&gt; with my then amazing top of the line &lt;b&gt;Apple&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;PowerMac&lt;/b&gt; 110 AV, creating postage stamp sized video movies. That has given way to my moving into creating some of the first &lt;b&gt;4K 3D&lt;/b&gt; videos, in addition to other things like time lapse music videos, and more in photography, like 360 and 360x360 spherical &lt;b&gt;panoramas&lt;/b&gt;, etc. But &lt;b&gt;Animated GIFs&lt;/b&gt; were not a priority.
  93.  
  94. As I recently saw this cruise ship leaving the Port Of &lt;b&gt;Tampa&lt;/b&gt; approaching the great ball of fire we call the Sun, as it set over the &lt;b&gt;Tampa Bay&lt;/b&gt; horizon, I took several photos. They were taken handheld, not on a tripod, so they could not be totally accurately framed, but I managed to make this as my first official animated GIF.
  95.  
  96. Now the question is to see how many people can see it on &lt;b&gt;Blogger&lt;/b&gt;, and on other platforms.

  118. During a recent windy day it appears to have become dislodged and floated its way to the private beach at my home community. This &lt;strong&gt;WindowsPhone&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Lumia 1020&amp;nbsp;photo, taken at sunset tonight, shows how big these things are even though while boating they can be hard to spot in the distance. Hopefully no boaters are using it for late night navigation or they will definitely run aground to shouts of “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oh, BoyI Oh, Buoy!

  126. &lt;p&gt;Take a setting sun even on a cloudy and darkening day which is grudgingly coming to an end.&lt;/p&gt;
  127. &lt;p&gt;Add some layers of clouds meandering about their short-lived hours of existence, as a bird flies by to nest for the night.&lt;/p&gt;
  128. &lt;p&gt;Mix in a boat with sunset worshippers caught in silhouette, as I watch from my blessed home, and you get another stunning magical moment, another memory, another blessing to lower my head in gratitude for, as I mutter my eternal thanks to &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

I love to stay indoors in the air-conditioned comfort of my home but then will go out riding my motorcycle, wearing leathers, even in summer heat, or cruising on the waters of &lt;strong&gt;NY&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;FL&lt;/strong&gt; when I have the opportunity to go boating. I also love to fly, and one of my favorite places to fly over is a beach, and the majestic ocean waves rolling on to shore. &lt;/p&gt;
  132. &lt;p&gt;Even though swimming was required for me at &lt;strong&gt;Aitchison College&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lahore&lt;/strong&gt;, as a boarding school student, I somehow managed to not properly learn how to swim. So, one of the sad facts of my five decades alive is that my boating and flying over water come with an inherent risk of drowning. Mind you, I am not a total non-swimmer. I can swim but never learned proper breathing. So, I can go one deep breath&#39;s worth of distance. But, this year, God Willing, I am planning to fix that shortcoming in my personal life skills.&lt;/p&gt;
  133. &lt;p&gt;One of the activities that has long been on my list, despite my proclivity and preference for things with keys, engines and fuel doing all the work -- which would explain my sailboat sitting unused in storage for 10 years -- I do want to go &lt;strong&gt;kayaking&lt;/strong&gt;, both on the &lt;strong&gt;Great South Bay&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;New York&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Tampa Bay&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Florida&lt;/strong&gt;. As I embarked on my greater effort to finally learn swimming, I also was intrigued by the many choices available in buying a kayak.&lt;/p&gt;
  134. &lt;p&gt;I consider myself a well-informed consumer, and started doing research. But, then, I decided to reach out to a dear old friend from &lt;strong&gt;Long Island&lt;/strong&gt; who has now moved to the South, &lt;a href=&quot;www.linkedin.com/pub/jeff-sievers/10/b3/577&quot;&gt;Jeff Sievers&lt;/a&gt;, formerly of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Long Island Advance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (where he was when we first met in 1995) and &lt;strong&gt;Brookhaven Memorial Hospital&lt;/strong&gt; (on the board of which he recommend my being on and I am still there 10+ years later). Jeff has been into boating, riding, playing guitar, and now more so, kayaking. &lt;/p&gt;
  135. &lt;p&gt;He sent me some very good advice in several emails, and I had an idea. Generally this blog is about my personal opinions, but, the great advice Jeff shared was worth putting into a blog post. So, without further ado, here are his thoughts….&lt;/p&gt;
  136. &lt;p&gt; --&lt;/p&gt;
  137. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 18px;&quot;&gt;Getting Started In Kayaking And A Buying Guide Opinion&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;- &lt;em&gt;by Jeff Sievers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  138. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Several friends who are contemplating the purchase of a kayak for fitness and to enjoy local waterways have asked me for some advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  139. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;First of all beginners should understand the basic types of kayak. Traditionally these are referred to as: Recreational, White Water and Sea Kayaks. Recreational refers to kayaks intended for casual users on lakes or calm flat rivers. White Water refers to kayaks used on swift flowing rivers with rapids and rocks. Sea kayaks are long and narrow and used for long distance trips on open water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  140. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Recently kayaks have been divided more often into a different type of grouping: either “sit in” or “sit on top.” A new entry, the Stand Up Board is also becoming popular with both beginners and long time users.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  141. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;None of these should be confused with canoes, which while always popular, have some strong negatives. They are usually long and heavy, hard to steer and are easily moved by wind and currents. More about canoes later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  142. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Sit in kayaks are common, and widely available, especially those sold at a discount by big box retailers. However, unless you are already an expert or especially interested in navigating small creeks and white water rivers, I strongly recommend getting a Sit on Top. These kayaks can be used for recreational use, are fine for use in the ocean and on flat water and can be used in less challenging white water conditions. Sit on Tops have built in floatation and scupper holes to allow water to flow right through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  143. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;I really like the &lt;strong&gt;Deuce Coup&lt;/strong&gt; by &lt;strong&gt;Liquid Logic.&lt;/strong&gt; It perfectly suits the needs of most beginners and intermediate kayakers. It converts from a &lt;strong&gt;tandem&lt;/strong&gt; to a single easily, has a built in deployable &lt;strong&gt;skeg&lt;/strong&gt; and is perfect for both surf and calm water. It&#39;s a great recreational boat. Very safe, lots of fun for one or two. It  is rare to find a tandem that can double as a single. That is the only good one that I know of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  144. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;A good skeg or &lt;strong&gt;rudder&lt;/strong&gt; is worth the price, comes standard with many models and can be added as an accessory on others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  145. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Most Liquid Logic kayaks are designed for high end white water use, shooting rocky rapids and that sort of thing, that&#39;s how the company got started so the hulls, including the hull on their  recreational boats like this one, are built for extreme use. They will take a beating.There are some great &lt;strong&gt;You Tube&lt;/strong&gt; videos on this boat on the site and on the You Tube channel. They also make a similar coupe as a single seater. &lt;strong&gt;Native Watercraft&lt;/strong&gt; is a sister brand and their hulls are just as well made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t buy one of the cheap ones like a &lt;strong&gt;Pelican&lt;/strong&gt; from the big box stores, you will regret it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  146. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Remember, buy a sit-on-top not a sit inside.  Much better for your use. Also its like having a big life preserver with you all of the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  147. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;In addition to Liquid Logic, I have a &lt;strong&gt;Manta Ray&lt;/strong&gt; 12 from Native Watercraft. it&#39;s a great all around single person boat. You might prefer their &lt;strong&gt;Versa Board&lt;/strong&gt; for your individual use  I&#39;m thinking of getting one. My wife is is partial to their &lt;strong&gt;Mariner&lt;/strong&gt; model and is thinking of getting one of those. If I were buying the Manta Ray now after learning a bit more I would go for the Manta Ray 14 for about $60 more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  148. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Some companies sell sectional kayaks which come apart into two or three pieces for storage, these are expensive and more importantly unsafe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  149. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Your main concern regardless of price is stability. Any sit on top from Native Water Craft or Liquid Logic will be about as stable a boat as you can get and will last a lifetime and will offer great bang for the buck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  150. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t buy any single user boat that is less than 11 feet long. A longer boat is much easer to steer and surprisingly easier to handle both on and out of the water so long as it is not too heavy. Cheaper boats tend to be heavy, even if they are cheaply made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  151. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t buy a canoe, even if what you see is cheaper and heavily promoted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  152. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;One more thing… The scupper holes built into good sit-on-tops like those from Native Watercraft add lots of strength and stability despite what uninformed kid salespeople say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  153. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;If  you want a single person fishing (and all purpose) kayak, seriously look at the Manta Ray 14, (a really good length). The professional fishing guides around here in &lt;strong&gt;Alabama&lt;/strong&gt; swear by them. They come with or without fishing packages. For a single, 14 foot is a good length. I think it&#39;s actually 14&#39; 7&quot; .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  154. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Because it has a deep keel, I didn&#39;t get the rudder, and find it very stable but I am on a lake. The rudder is really helpful in windy conditions on big water. Search the You Tube videos. Or check on their website. Native Watercraft specializes in kayak fishing. Check out their &lt;strong&gt;Slayer&lt;/strong&gt; model, it&#39;s built more for casting, but I can stand in mine, that&#39;s about as stable as you need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  155. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;If you want a double, for fun with your girlfriend(s) :-) the Deuce Coup can&#39;t be beat. Because of the drop down skeg it&#39;s both very stable, and tracks well and with the skeg up, turns on a pivot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  156. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Also check out those videos… I can send you some links or check out the Native Watercraft forums hosted by &lt;strong&gt;Go With The Flow&lt;/strong&gt; and linked from their home page. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;I have experience with &lt;strong&gt;Hobie&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Ocean&lt;/strong&gt; as well as several small custom brands that sell for 2 and 3X the cost of my Manta Ray and if I were heading out on the ocean or bay or swift river, I would choose the Manta Ray  hands down for safety and comfort, even over the &lt;strong&gt;Slayer&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Mariner&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  158. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Fishing kayak seats are intended for all day comfort for big guys and the ones on my Manta Ray can&#39;t be beat, I wish I had them in my house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  159. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Another thought, some sales people might direct you to a hybrid kayak called the Ultimate. It&#39;s a great boat but not well suited to Long Island waters. Same for brands like &lt;strong&gt;Black Water&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Black Foot &lt;/strong&gt;and the &lt;strong&gt;NuCanoe&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  160. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Some dealers might push the &lt;strong&gt;Wilderness Systems&lt;/strong&gt; brand. They are about the same price as a similar &lt;strong&gt;Native Watercraft&lt;/strong&gt; but don&#39;t have the same &quot;build&quot;, attention to detail or features, in my view. I was out in one last week with a friend and while he likes it,  I could clearly see where they cut corners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  161. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jackson&lt;/strong&gt; is another good brand but more expensive. The brand &lt;strong&gt;Malibu&lt;/strong&gt; is similar and gets a lot of good comments in sport forums but I have no experience with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  162. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Remember canoes, hybrids and sit in kayaks have little or no built in floatation. No good in rough water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  163. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Get a good &lt;strong&gt;PFD&lt;/strong&gt; and there&#39;s no need to spend too much on a paddle, a good one should run between $50 and 100 more than that and you are paying big bucks to shave off an oz or 2 of weight. It&#39;s not worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  164. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;OK seats can be an add-on on many brands. That&#39;s true for the very expensive brands and the cheap no-name brands. But in the range you want to be in, (I paid $979 for my &lt;strong&gt;Manta Ray&lt;/strong&gt; and $929 for the &lt;strong&gt;Deuce Coup&lt;/strong&gt;) seats, rigging and watertight hatches should be factory installed. Mine were. You want that stuff factory installed if at all possible because you don&#39;t want to be drilling holes in your new boat for the hardware. And you certainly don&#39;t want some kid that was working at the mall food court last week doing it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  165. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;That&#39;s also another reason why I wouldn&#39;t buy from a big box store like &lt;strong&gt;Dick&#39;s Sporting Goods&lt;/strong&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;Sports Authority&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  166. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Quality hatches are quite watertight. Aftermarket cut outs and installation of covers and rigging hardware are not worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  167. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;My Native Watercraft has rod storage built in under the seating position with access through the main hatch. I keep an emergency paddle in there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  168. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Fishing packages usually have factory cut holes with rod holders. You can also add clamp-on accessories such as rod holders and motor mount. A small 1 lb. anchor is worth it. You don&#39;t need anything bigger than 1-2 lbs. no matter what the sales guys say and why carry the weight?  I use a 8oz fishing sinker.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  169. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;A wide brimmed hat makes more sense than a sun shade or umbrella.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  170. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Small battery operated motors such as trolling motors are available. But I don&#39;t think the trade off in weight and bulk is worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  171. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;I have a small round roll up sail that works great, takes up no space and can take you far and fast in just a whisper of wind. it feels really fast since you are so close to the water. (&lt;strong&gt;Wind Paddle&lt;/strong&gt; sails on &lt;a href=&quot;http://amazon.com/&quot;&gt;Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt; or at the wind paddle website). It&#39;s also useful to wave if you need to signal another boat for help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  172. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Here are a couple of bits of advice. Always wear a PDF. Get one in a bright color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  173. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Keep hydrated. Wear a hat and sunglasses. Wear short fingered gloves until your hands toughen up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Tie everything down, including water bottles and sunglasses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Get a paddle leash and use it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  175. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Practice getting back on the boat in shallow water. The trick is to hold on, let your legs float to the surface and then pull yourself up and across the boat. If your legs are under you, it&#39;s much tougher to climb back in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  176. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Practice using the paddle held horizontally like a tight rope walker to add stability when getting in and out or when hit by a wave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  177. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Use the taco shell type paddle holders that come with better boats, to rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  178. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Carry a whistle. Get a waterproof bag or case for your phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  179. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Carry about 15 feet of nylon cord with you for emergency tie ups and towing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  180. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;A 6- foot thin pole can be used to hold you in place in shallow water by poking it through a scupper hole into the sand or mud, you can put a small brightly colored pennant on the top of the pole to add visibility. You can store it in the rod storage area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  181. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Buy a high visibility colored boat, you want to be seen. My boats are mango and lime green.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  182. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;American Typewriter&#39;; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;I like the built in stern wheel on my boats for moving it/them to and from the launch point. Few boats have that feature and for those a small dolly is a good idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  183. &lt;p&gt;--&lt;/p&gt;
  184. &lt;p&gt;There you have them, Jeff&#39;s opinions. Clearly, the above words are Jeff&#39;s opinions, and are shared by him with me, and by me with you, in the interest of opinion sharing. These are not to be construed as formal advise or recommendations for anyone. Use your own discretion. Do your own deeper research. Make your own decisions. Alternate thoughts, opinions and good advice from other knowledgable kayakers are most welcome. Above all, have fun, but be SAFE!&lt;/p&gt;
  185. &lt;p&gt;See you out there on the water.&lt;/p&gt;

  189. There&#39;s nothing that makes my spirits soar than &lt;strong&gt;flying&lt;/strong&gt; over ocean beaches and yachting havens, in, under and through blue skies… except &lt;strong&gt;yachting&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;sailing&lt;/strong&gt; in New York even in mid-December, under fiery red skies turning the cold calm &lt;strong&gt;Great South Bay&lt;/strong&gt; waters beneath me bubbling hot liquid Gold.

Then, more than 2 decades flew by. As a result, it is still on my list of movies to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, that title has always remained with me. Even as I captured this breathtaking, SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera {except framing and titling} unedited, unprocessed), photograph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was taken from my yacht, in Biscayne Bay, returning from the Atlantic Ocean, on what had initially appeared to be a gray afternoon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My then companion and I almost decided not to go out, but, a day of boating, on the ocean, beats a day driving around town. So, off we went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we headed back towards home port, in Coral Gables, Florida, timing the crossing of the channel to coincide with the sunset hour, I planned to capture the abandoned homes of Stiltsville silhouetted against the sun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sun was getting more rich, the haze more like natural camera filters. The clouds were really layered like thin muslin sheets across different distances and altitudes, creating a once in a million year combination of patterns, colors, hues and shades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had no idea, that without any skill on my part :-) , the Nikon D300, and the f/14 1/800 second ISO200 0eV exposures would lead to possibly the most stunning series of photos I had ever captured in my life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some will need to be straightened because I was slowly letting the Sea Ray Sundancer drift, its twin 8.1 liter Mercruiser engines idling, as I both maneuvered the boat with one hand to position the boat, and clicked the camera with the other hand, to capture the sun from different angles, and from between and behind different structures. The water was choppy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I stood in the cockpit, with no vessel or persons around me for miles, the vast openness of the darkening Atlantic Ocean to my left, other homes of Stiltsville behind me, choppy waters of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline to my right, with no other souls in sight… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gazed at the sight  that lay ahead…  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, it made me gasp out to the Creator, &quot;Oh, My God!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt what I was, and remain.... a humble, insignificant, man, in front of nature, and God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, also, in that same  moment of clarity I knew... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul, the architect of my destiny.  And, some of the brightest visions lie behind the darkest clouds, saddest scenes, and foreboding skies.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that spot, in that moment in time, I realized… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am the ruler.... of my own &lt;strong&gt;Empire Of The Sun&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2008-2011 IMRAN&lt;br /&gt;DSC_0954&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Technorati Tags Start --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot;

on Flickr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I only had my iPhone 4 and 6 years old pocket Nikon S6 in my pockets as I went sailing/racing with my friend Peter Ehatt and his wife Jean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bay, between Smith Point beach and the landmass of Long Island, became our playground, as we first met the challenge of almost no wind, followed by a rapidly chaning wind that, at one point during an aggressive maneuver, almost had us capsize in a comedy of errors. Note to self, learn to swim properly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, it was all worth the zigzag rushing to get in place at just the right time to take this stunning, pastel, orange, pink, red, gold explosion of natural colors captured by the Nikon S6.  The trees and the bridge in silhouette completed the mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The image does not have the fine resolution of my Nikon D300 12MP shots, but the colors were still magical. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unreal reflection on the water made it almost appear like a bowl of a golden liquid with a fire dancing atop it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To top off the evening, as we headed home, the same spot the sun had set lit up with mid-summer fireworks. But, the memory of the day was definitely this, &lt;strong&gt;Sailing Stunset&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2011 IMRAN&lt;br /&gt;DSCN1265&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Technorati Tags Start --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Boating&quot;&gt;Boating&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/IMRAN&quot;&gt;IMRAN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Imran%20Anwar&quot;&gt;Imran Anwar&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Long%20Island&quot;&gt;Long Island&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/New%20York&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Nikon&quot;&gt;Nikon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Photography&quot;&gt;Photography&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Sailing&quot;&gt;Sailing&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Summer&quot;&gt;Summer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Sunset&quot;&gt;Sunset&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Technorati Tags End --&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/3617834396026831321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=3617834396026831321&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/3617834396026831321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/3617834396026831321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2011/09/sailing-stunset-imran.html' title='Sailing Stunset - IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6180/6168324341_73c04937a1_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-7860152687843211514</id><published>2011-09-19T18:24:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-09-21T01:59:02.569-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Beach"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Clouds"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran Anwar"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="iPhone"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Landscape"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Long Island"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="New York"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Photography"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Seasons"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Time"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tribute"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Video"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Water"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Weather"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Yahcting"/><title type='text'>Stunning Final Weekend, Farewell Summer Of 2011 - IMRAN™</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/M8bGt-4euh0?fs=1&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The final weekend of Summer 2011 came to a stunning end, and shades of blue filled the water and the sky.

As the Summer of 2011 passed into the pages and cells of memory.... the chilly winds of Fall started blowing kisses, arriving on my shore, before the selfish lover of Winter starts demanding long dark nights.... while dreams of new &lt;strong&gt;Spring Love&lt;/strong&gt;s, and the passionate embraces of &lt;strong&gt;Summer of &#39;12&lt;/strong&gt;, filled my heart, mind, body and soul.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The View &lt;/em&gt;(aka The RiverView), in &lt;strong&gt;Oakdale&lt;/strong&gt;, at the the &lt;strong&gt;Great South Bay&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Long Island&lt;/strong&gt;, NY, is one of my favorite Sunday brunch places, to come via boat, car or motorcycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This final stunning weekend of Summer 2011 was one for the ages. It was a bit windy, but the incredible blue sky colors were shining through even in this unedited &lt;strong&gt;Apple iPhone&lt;/strong&gt; cell phone video clip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to see you as &lt;strong&gt;Summer 2012&lt;/strong&gt; arrives, one day, soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;iPhone 4 Video: © 2011 Imran Anwar &lt;a class=&quot;yt-uix-redirect-link&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #4272db; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;&quot; title=&quot;http://imran.com&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://imran.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://imran.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audio: &quot;My Only Sky&quot; © Storm Gordon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Technorati Tags Start --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Boating&quot;&gt;Boating&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/iPhone&quot;&gt;iPhone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Long%20Island&quot;&gt;Long Island&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/New%20York&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Photography&quot;&gt;Photography&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Seasons&quot;&gt;Seasons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Summer&quot;&gt;Summer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Video&quot;&gt;Video&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Weather&quot;&gt;Weather&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Yachting&quot;&gt;Yachting&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Sailing&quot;&gt;Sailing&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;tag&quot; href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Sunday&quot;&gt;Sunday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Technorati Tags End --&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/7860152687843211514/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=7860152687843211514&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/7860152687843211514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/7860152687843211514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2011/09/stunning-final-weekend-farewell-summer.html' title='Stunning Final Weekend, Farewell Summer Of 2011 - IMRAN™'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/M8bGt-4euh0/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>3 Consuelo Pl, Oakdale, NY, USA</georss:featurename><georss:point>40.726443672847196 -73.141774535179138</georss:point><georss:box>40.726255672847195 -73.142083035179141 40.7266316728472 -73.141466035179135</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-3164820678406641739</id><published>2010-10-02T11:43:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2013-12-17T12:13:46.131-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran Anwar"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyles"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Manhattan"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="New York"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Photography"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Yahcting"/><title type='text'>My Boat, Bay, Sun, NY Boat Basin</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;

  196. Thank you all. My 25th &lt;strong&gt;Explore!&lt;/strong&gt; September 16, 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&#39;ve been traveling with limited access so I am sorry not to have responded to several hundred comments, dozens of emails, and have also not had a chance to comment on friends&#39; photos&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love boating. I love yachting. I&#39;ve taken both my Sea Ray SunDancers (23&#39; and 40&#39;) to NYC from Long Island, several times over the years. Motorboating around Manhattan, especially at sunset, when the sun reflects on Manhattan&#39;s stunning skyline, is best seen from the New Jersey side. Nothing more spectacular than to see My Boat, Bay, Sun and the NY Boat Basin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, technically speaking, this is not a Bay. But, the width of the Hudon River, between Manhattan, NY and New Jersey, is wider than some Bays I have boated in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NY Boat Basin at 79th Street, is a delightful and unexpected vision in one of the world&#39;s busiest cities. Joggers and bikers zip by you as you walk along the waterfront. The marina has a few decent sized boats, but not the mega-yachts you would expect to see line the slips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The area is not far from where the Miracle On The Hudson flight crash-landed safely in the river. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This image of the setting sun, reflecting on the water, tinging everything with liquid Gold light, was captured near the end of Summer 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The arch of the structure I took this photo from (where I also photographed the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/imrananwar/4931606256/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;dazzling Daisy&lt;/a&gt;) makes a delightful curved silhouette almost as if it was done by a computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2010 IMRAN&lt;br /&gt;DSC_6183PSF&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;loc: 40.786872N, -73.9841W&lt;br /&gt;

  200. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; font-family: Futura-Medium;&quot;&gt;Waking up wrapped in cotton sheets, I am seeing the shimmering silky satin sheetlike sheen spread over the Great South Bay waters - at the back of the place I&#39;m blessed to call home. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  201. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; font-family: Futura-Medium;&quot;&gt;The unexpectedly cool weather is a reminder of heartwarming coming Thanksgiving, and for Thanks Giving to God.

  202. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; font-family: Futura-Medium;&quot;&gt;As the year hurtles towards a close, as life rushes towards an eventual end, all I can think, as tears of gratitude fill my eyes, and words of &lt;em&gt;shukrana&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Futura-Medium; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;شکرانہ) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Futura-Medium; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;ring in my ears, for years, decades, of blessings it would take me centuries to count.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  203. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; font-family: Futura-Medium;&quot;&gt;Thank you God, for letting me appreciate and unwrap &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Futura-Medium; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;every moment l&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Futura-Medium; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;ike a precious gift and&lt;/span&gt; every day like &lt;em&gt;Eid&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Futura-Medium; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;عید) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Futura-Medium; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;&amp;amp; Christmas Day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  206. &lt;br /&gt;
  207. My 23rd Photo In &lt;b&gt;Explore!&lt;/b&gt; September 3, 2010. &lt;br /&gt;
  208. &lt;br /&gt;
  209. &lt;i&gt;A Long Island &lt;b&gt;Sound Vision&lt;/b&gt; To Remember.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
  210. &lt;br /&gt;
  211. It was Wednesday. News was pouring in that Hurricane (or Tropical Storm for some people) Earl was racing up the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. It was headed towards  Massachusetts by Friday, with a glancing blow expected on Long Island.&lt;br /&gt;
  212. &lt;br /&gt;
  213. Ahead of the storm&#39;s impending arrival, I knew the air would start getting moisture laden. Since there was no heavy cloud cover, it meant there was a good chance of catching the setting sun&#39;s light through the hazy prism precursor of nature&#39;s looming fury.&lt;br /&gt;
  214. &lt;br /&gt;
  215. I had to drive back from Boston to New York. Even though the ferry ticket for car &amp;amp; driver ($50) and a bite to eat ($20) would add to the cost, it was a calculated gamble I had to take. &lt;br /&gt;
  216. &lt;br /&gt;
  217. I timed my Boston departure to ensure I would get on the New London, CT Cross Sound Ferry to Orient Point, NY departing at 6PM. &lt;br /&gt;
  218. &lt;br /&gt;
  219. This would ensure I would be making the nearly 17 miles long angled crossing of the Long Island Sound (Atlantic Ocean water between Long Island&#39;s North Shore and the states of Connecticut) as the sun would be signing out in anticipation of the hurricane&#39;s outer edges.&lt;br /&gt;
  220. &lt;br /&gt;
  221. I-395 was a pleasure to drive on as traffic was clear enough for me to arrive at the terminal by 5:30 PM. I boarded the ferry, posted a few tweets and &lt;a href=&quot;http://facebook.com/IMRAN.TV&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;FaceBook Wall&lt;/a&gt; updates and got ready for the ride.&lt;br /&gt;
  222. &lt;br /&gt;
  223. The haze was getting heavier and the late afternoon sun made the sky behind the New London skyline appear to glow a dull orange tinged gray. &lt;br /&gt;
  224. &lt;br /&gt;
  225. But, I smiled. From my experience &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/imrananwar/4647249365/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;photographing sunsets yachting&lt;/a&gt; in Miami, Florida, I realized it also meant the Sun would likely become more and more gold-red as it set. A photographer&#39;s dream.&lt;br /&gt;
  226. &lt;br /&gt;
  227. I snapped photos ( 12-14MB RAW Nikon D300 images, presented here at less than 4MB framed) from the top deck of the ferry. The wind was gusting, in my face, slapping my cheeks, bringing tears of joy only a mariner knows and loves standing against, yet being one with, nature&#39;s power. &lt;br /&gt;
  228. &lt;br /&gt;
  229. Despite the whipping wind the water inside the Sound to the West was eerily calm as you can see in this photo. It was protected from the wind&#39;s effects by the body of Long Island.&lt;br /&gt;
  230. &lt;br /&gt;
  231. As the Ferry approached the North East tip of Long Island, and Orient Point Ferry Terminal came into view, I realized that the best shot of this marker with the Sun over and behind it would be from the lower deck. As the boat&#39;s droning engines hummed, the vibrations of powerful motors lifting the bow (nose) cone reverberated under my feet. The vessel carrying it&#39;s cargo of nearly 100 cars and several hundred people arced into the space between Block Island and Long Island, where, in an irony of names, the waters of Block Island Sound and Long Island Sound collided in total silence.&lt;br /&gt;
  232. &lt;br /&gt;
  233. Nikon strapped around my neck and behind my shoulder, like an assault weapon that shoots beauty and joy instead of bullets, I did my best (wannabe) action movie star impersonation. &lt;br /&gt;
  234. &lt;br /&gt;
  235. I confidently moved on the rolling deck towards the staircase. Hooking my arms around the railings on either side of the stairway down, I took a leap of faith, childish joy and adrenaline rush. &lt;br /&gt;
  236. &lt;br /&gt;
  237. Sliding down, like sailors we see going down submarine stairways in movies and TV shows, I ensured that the Nikon lens was hugging me tight in front and not likely to hit the metal frames.&lt;br /&gt;
  238. &lt;br /&gt;
  239. Landing on my feet like a &lt;b&gt;Shock and Awe&lt;/b&gt; soldier, in one fluid motion I was already stepping towards the side of the boat, with a &lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;Shoot &amp;amp; Ahhh!&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt; moment facing me. &lt;br /&gt;
  240. &lt;br /&gt;
  241. My left hand was starting to zoom out the lens while the right hand was powering up my shooting weapon, as a well trained Marine(r), while the &amp;quot;actor/director&amp;quot; in me wrapped that (silent) movie scene of my non-Hollywood action star career in one take. &lt;br /&gt;
  242. &lt;br /&gt;
  243. I crouched, semi-kneeled, camera up to my face.... The viewfinder framing perfect moments of beauty going by at nearly 20 mph... &lt;br /&gt;
  244. &lt;br /&gt;
  245. At this close distance and relatively high speed, wind gusts and the turning boat&#39;s rolling motion were all conspiring for the perfect capture to elude me. &lt;br /&gt;
  246. &lt;br /&gt;
  247. I knew, I had faith, I could do it. I knew it was the start of a new month, a new phase, a new chapter, a new mission.... like my own action movie, it was, &lt;b&gt;The Hunt For Red September&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  248. &lt;br /&gt;
  249. The moments are in caught in a warm hued freeze frame. I click. I frame. I shoot. I dot not ask questions. Time slides by. Water rushes by. One moment merges into the next. That moment, yes, that one, there it went. It would never return in this space-time continuum. I have to capture it for all eternity. &lt;br /&gt;
  250. &lt;br /&gt;
  251. I twist to my right, still zooming, framing, aiming and keeping the camera level, as the structure seems to be sliding to the right and the sun behind it trying to escape the camera frame. I shoot again.&lt;br /&gt;
  252. &lt;br /&gt;
  253. I knew, this is it. My mind raced, my soul stood still. I clicked. I shot again and captured this &lt;b&gt;Sound Vision&lt;/b&gt; in a miracle of life, light and line of sight. (This is the full frame, no cropping, luckily even the horizon is fairly level so no straightening done either). &lt;br /&gt;
  254. &lt;br /&gt;
  255. &lt;i&gt;The Hunt For Red September&lt;/i&gt;.... &lt;b&gt;Mission Accomplished&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
  256. &lt;br /&gt;

It is also a brand of shoes, popular among sailors and boaters. This place is probably 2000 miles from all of them. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rock/Port is the perfect title for this photo I took at the Baths, Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands. The tranquil blue sky and calm stunning turquoise waters of the Bahamas, surrounded by stunning rock formations cradling the &quot;port&quot; for sailors, are something to write home about, and shout to the world the praises of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I stood in the bubbling mild surf, I did not much care what brand of shoes I was wearing (Sperry&#39;s Topsiders, I think, actually LOL). I dug in my heels in the powdery soft wet sand. The pocket Nikon came in handy to take this shot - to immortalize in the mind and heal the soul, the sight in my eyes and feeling in my soles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just one of the millions of places on our planet that are heaven on earth. May we all get to see them in our lifetimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2008-2010 IMRAN&lt;br /&gt;DSCN3541P&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/2947461159575854671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=2947461159575854671&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/2947461159575854671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/2947461159575854671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2010/06/rockport-imran-stunning-blue-boating.html' title='Rock/Port.

It sets off for home and sets off a home on the water in brilliantly dark silhouette.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In time, the sun sets over a dark daymark, set in the channel, splitting the sun&#39;s reflections on the water, separating shallow water from deep, providing one more geometric and symmetric element in this imagery, this memory — electronically etched in the silicon of a memory card, eternally aligned in the magnets of a hard drive, permanently painted on the neurons of a mind dazzled by the sights it saw in a wondrous lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stiltsville, in the channel outside Biscayne Bay in &lt;strong&gt;Miami&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Florida&lt;/strong&gt;, is a place I have seen more spectacular marine sunsets from my yacht than any place else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just idling the engines, soaking in the sights of the ends of a passion filled afternoon, the juices of the day melting over the shades of dusk, I captured this with my &lt;strong&gt;Nikon&lt;/strong&gt; D300. No cropping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I saw the sign, the sun, out of the blue and into the red, and my sun sign (Gemini) made me see the duality of the moment melding time and tide flowing past and rising ahead. It made me vow, like the sun set to rise again, I too would be back, to make new memories, of another day, on another day. Amen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;© 2010 IMRAN &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;DSC_1984&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS1 &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; color processing, only frame &amp;amp; title added in Photoshop. I could have reduced highlights on the sun and lightened shadows on the house and sign but just wanted to savor it as it was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS2 I did notice a stunning amount of greater detail in this image the Nikon stored as a TIFF compared to the JPGs I normally save. The camera has a memory card large enough to store TIFFs in any outing. But at that time I was concerned about the iPhoto library growing too large for my MacBook Pro&#39;s hard drive. Even with 99% images as JPGs it is already over 50GB. With another 60GB for my iTunes library, pretty soon, I&#39;d have no space left for anything else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS3 The horizon IS level. The water gets shallower to the left and the sky was darker to the right, making the satiny reflection appear dipping towards the left, but you will see the actual horizon is level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/1146598012203925562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=1146598012203925562&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1146598012203925562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/1146598012203925562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2010/06/sun-signs-out-sets-off-home-over-dark.html' title='Sun Signs Out, Sets Off Home, Over Dark Daymark Outdoors'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4064/4647249365_c72a808ea6_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10248241.post-2691392180625744155</id><published>2009-07-29T19:13:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T19:13:49.816-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="2009"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Boating"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="God"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Imran Anwar"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ImranAnwar"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Life"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lifestyles"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Nikon"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Philosophy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Photography"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Sunset"/><title type='text'>Oh, God!

Some have been won and lost, but nearly every single wish has been granted and I know the best is yet to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This picture of my boat slip at home, in East Patchogue, Long Island, New York has its own messages hidden in plain view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can we not, then, see the power of God moving in every moment of stillness around me?

  259. Forbes.com, the online service of Forbes magazine, has a very interesting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/2007/10/09/success-stress-opportunity-ent-dream1007-cx_ee_1009misery.html&quot;&gt;article&lt;/a&gt; about America not really being the proverbial land of opportunity. &lt;br /&gt;
  260. &lt;br /&gt;
  261. It suggests that America is not as great a land of opportunity as Americans like to believe. It makes many interesting points, but I had a strong counterpoint that I wrote for Forbes.com but am sharing with you here. &lt;br /&gt;
  262. &lt;br /&gt;
  263. You all know how openly and boldly I do criticize American social flaws, excessively liberal coddling of society, the evil regime of neo-conservative George Bush and Dick Cheney, and its foolish, self-defeating and unfair foreign policy in the Middle-East and towards Palestine. But, that does not mean I do not love America and all that it, and its real people, and values, stand for. &lt;br /&gt;
  264. &lt;br /&gt;
  265. This is my response to Forbes. &lt;br /&gt;
  266. &lt;br /&gt;
  267. &lt;hr /&gt;
  268. &lt;br /&gt;
  269. I was born into a good life - in a comfortable, upscale, professional, educated, well-off, well-known, respected and popular, loving and devoted family in Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;
  270. &lt;br /&gt;
  271. I had hardly any need to walk away from an established public/media identity (fame?), successful career (fortune?), family and comfort just for the sake of &quot;Coming to America&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  272. &lt;br /&gt;
  273. But that is what I did in January, 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
  274. &lt;br /&gt;
  275. I arrived with the total US$1000 that Pakistanis were allowed to leave with, and came to Manhattan to attend Columbia Business School for my MBA. Despite my delusions of greatness and brilliance, most of my friends will tell me I am neither brilliant, nor overly hard-working.&lt;br /&gt;
  276. &lt;br /&gt;
  277. Yet, it was because I was in America that I COULD be whatever I wanted to be. I started my MBA studies in 1989, working with a Pakistani newspaper chain to help them establish and publish simultaneously a multi-city newspaper in 1991, and helping the Pakistani Embassy in the USA start a computerization effort.&lt;br /&gt;
  278. &lt;br /&gt;
  279. I also started a small consulting service, a media-syndication business serving media clients in global markets from NYC, AND went on to become pioneer and founder of Internet email, as well as cofounder of the top level .PK domain for Pakistan. Soon thereafter I was also the one to bring MasterCard credit cards to Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;
  280. &lt;br /&gt;
  281. I had a challenging 1996 (when 90% of my six-figure income from two global clients dried up within 2 months) but was fortunate to join first a start-up, then a Fortune 50 NY-based company for a few years, and then back to being CEO of my own startup.&lt;br /&gt;
  282. &lt;br /&gt;
  283. I am proud of my Pakistani heritage, but I am even more proud of being an American for just a few years and already living the American Dream far more, and far better, than many of my fellow American even dare to dream.&lt;br /&gt;
  284. &lt;br /&gt;
  285. I am NOT rich by any stretch of the imagination - but even as a mere &quot;technology professional&quot; and &quot;media expert&quot; I have everything any Billionaire in the USA can have. From oceanfront homes in NY and FL, to flying small planes, to having a small &quot;fleet&quot; of boats from 23-40 feet in two states, I probably enjoy an incredible life more than I can even tell people for fear of being accused of showing off.&lt;br /&gt;
  286. &lt;br /&gt;
  287. I can meet, see, date, love, marry (if I was not Happily Single!), befriend, or associate with anyone, of any race, religion or country.&lt;br /&gt;
  288. &lt;br /&gt;
  289. I can (and do) say and write anything positive or critical that I want about anyone (even about the American government or its policies) on my blogs as well as on radio and TV, from CNN to Fox News. I can charge hundreds of Dollars per hour for my time as a business consultant, or work in child welfare or any other cause that I choose.&lt;br /&gt;
  290. &lt;br /&gt;
  291. Despite all this, yes, I am nowhere near my fullest potential. And, that is because I need to be more focused, not because America does not offer ample opportunity to everyone. It is because I am in America that I do still have the opportunity to pursue my 100 other dreams.&lt;br /&gt;
  292. &lt;br /&gt;
  293. Yes, I AM behind in publishing the books and screenplays I have partly written. I do have to be more diligent about hunting venture (not vulture) capital for my small portfolio of Web 2.0 startups that help monetize social networking and content online.&lt;br /&gt;
  294. &lt;br /&gt;
  295. I still have to make time to play Tennis and learn to ski and swim (yes, it&#39;s shameful, I can barely swim despite my flying/boating passions). I only half-joke when I say that my list of pending Things To Do is 7-10 years long. And, on top of all that, I do need to finish up the patent drawings and claims to file the 22 patent applications I have pending for different products.&lt;br /&gt;
  296. &lt;br /&gt;
  297. America is surely not perfect, but even people who complains about it do not, and would not, choose any other country to live, work, play or even dream in. Thank you America.&lt;br /&gt;
  298. &lt;br /&gt;

  302. &lt;hr /&gt;
  303. &lt;br /&gt;
  304. &lt;br /&gt;
  305. I would love to hear from native born Americans, immigrants living in America and non-Americans who dream of coming to America (as long as they speak English ;-) and will not come to burden society and raise my taxes :-) ). &lt;br /&gt;
  306. &lt;br /&gt;
  307. So, &quot;Dare to Dream, Dare to Speak, Dare to Be All You Can Be&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

And almost 20 years later, when CNN profiled me their interviewer surprised me with his impressive research when he asked me on-air to explain what I mean by my trademark term. I’ll get to that in a second – or more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those were the days when I was attending the well known University of Engineering and Technology, in Lahore, Pakistan, for my B. Sc. Engineering (Electrical/Electronics) degree. Well, attending is not really the correct word – since after doing well in first year classes I fell into student politics for the next 3 years, standing against the evil of the Islami Jamiat Taliba (which was then a US/CIA-backed and financed part of the Jamate Islami religion-using hate-mongers seeking fundamentalist rule and even now supporters of the Taliban and AlQaeda). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Towards the end of my stay at the Engineering University (as it was also called) I had lost three years of my life wasted on student politics but with nothing achieved (because that evil, Islam-using, filthy, vile, repulsive, Constitution-breaking, corrupt, bigotry and hatred-spreading, Taliban-creating, US-backed dictator General Zia banned students’ unions just when it was my turn to run for President). I was then scampering to cover for my missed exams and classes (clearing “supplees” was the term many of my fellow alumni will recall being familiar with). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, in what seems to be typical twists in my life and career, instead of hurrying up and getting into a stable (boring) life of an Electrical Engineer working for some Pakistani government department or some private sector company that overworks and underpays, I found myself Business Manager of Pakistan’s largest newspapers and magazines chain, Jang. A chance meeting at a close family friend’s wedding party led to a 22 minute chat, that led to my still being involved in the news and media business 22 years later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, where – you ask – is this whole discussion taking us, and what were you saying about “Planned Drifting™”. I am glad you remembered, and asked – you know, remembering my problem with remembering recent things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read a good article today on some web site --- either there are too many articles online (considering I already read about 30 today, in addition to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and a dozen or so magazines) or I am getting old (since I just read that piece online 2 hours ago) --- that I can’t remember. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the topic was quite a good one. It was about how the writer is a workaholic and finally made time to go visit some friends in Florida and kick back a little bit. He wrote about the issue of how life is what happens when we are making plans for everything else --- or something to that effect. As I mentioned earlier, or at least I think I did, that memory loss can be a terrible thing, and that is a good thing to remember. If you can. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, coming back to the topic, or what I seem to recall is the topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love making plans. I love getting things done. And, I hate the idea of making all these great plans only to be thrown off by changed circumstances, fate, markets, politics, people and... life. For a procrastinator that would be a great reason not to make plans at all and just lie back and enjoy life passing by. But, that would be too easy. People could think I am lazy, which, no matter how true it could be, is definitely not the impression any one of us wants others to have of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I came up with a solution to that problem. Instead of making plans – which require time and effort, and then finding changing circumstances throwing off those plans – which causes frustration and annoyance, I say, forget making plans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, didn’t I just say, I love making plans? You’re right and glad you remembered. Yes, I did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should clarify. You can ‘plan’ – as in aim for, hope or desire or actively dream and pursue - or you can make specific PLANS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always lived by, and promoted (as seen on CNN :-) ) &quot;Planned Drifting™&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being a mariner (boater) and aviator (hobbyist pilot) I know drifting (usually sideways not in line with the original desired path or desired location to stop at) is the last thing one wants to do, either off course, or into shoals, or into the path of other traffic. But, planned drifting is a proactive, positive, and almost fully aligned with the original planned course or direction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The approach is to know where you want to get, but instead of thinking of it as a straight line think of it like the cone of radar beam sweeping back and forth 20-30 degrees each way in front of a ship or plane checking hazards and weather. Planned drifting is knowing that even if life throws curves your way, or times and tides change, or fate blows in one windy event or another into your flight path, you can still succeed even though your “plans” may be completely left by the wayside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may drift slightly to the left or right of that ideal straight line that you thought you had charted out for your life, but even if you don’t get to what you thought was some specific location or point, you will still get to what life and fate may intend to be your final destination anyway. That would still be a great destination to get to, it would still be a great adventure and it would most definitely be a great journey regardless of where exactly you end up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Planned Drifting™ is not about idling through life, or coasting, or gliding, or simply going with the flow. It needs more active involvement from you. It needs proactive thinking. It needs nimble and agile thinking. It needs a positive, open, frame of mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You give yourself a good general direction (vision), even some desired specific destination (goal), but don&#39;t get married to a particular course (plan) - which is most often the thing that will not turn out how we want it to be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I remembered, the article I responded to was by Michael Hugos, on the CIO Blogs page at http://blogs.cio.com/life-is-what-happens-when-you-have-other-plans . Do plan to read it – unless you have other plans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Planned Drifting™.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;“Planned Drifting” is © and a ™ of Imran Anwar. &lt;a href=&quot;http://imran.com&quot;&gt;IMRAN.COM&lt;/a&gt;.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.imran.com/feeds/3453811143444393807/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10248241&amp;postID=3453811143444393807&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/3453811143444393807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10248241/posts/default/3453811143444393807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.imran.com/2007/03/planned-drifting-new-way-through-life.html' title='Planned Drifting - A New Way Through Life'/><author><name>IMRAN™</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03919552891874811342</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry></feed>
