Ive added to some images taken back in 2017 so that this is 54 x 10 minute subexposures of Messier 51 in Canes Venatici.
Im planning to take some RGB and hydrogen alpha to produce a colour image so this is really very much a preliminary post.
Taken with iTelescope T7 from Nerpio in Spain. The larger Messier 51 is interacting gravitationally with smaller NGC 5195.
A rich spiral pattern of dark dust clouds reaches deep into the galactic core where a Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus is located - a dust ring obscures the central accretion disk and supermassive black hole from view.
A small edge on spiral galaxy IC 4277 is seen beneath NGC 5195 and a bright bar-like irregular galaxy, IC 4278 lies a third of the way along the bottom left.

A big shock when finding this at a bus stop in Bearsden just before Canniesburn Toll. This service hasnt run in a considerable amount of years, but it shows that there was a much better service then than there is now! Dated 2005

Best choice ever <3
I've posted pictures of this antique truck in the past. I've not shot it in Winter before. It is parked in front of New Salem Cider in New Salem, MA.
The setting is gorgeous, the cider is delicious and the staff are wonderful. Visit ANY time of year.
Almost done. Next week may be a bit tricky for editing and uploading as I'll be visiting my parents in New Brunswick over the holidays and won't have access to my computer.
The idea for this shot was incidental of another idea I was trying to flesh out. I was trying to go for a fireball in my hand and using a lighter to light my palm...which was incredibly difficult to perform while trying to focus the camera at the same time. I noticed that just the lighter seemed like an interesting source for a fireball and went with that instead.
I had mentioned in an earlier post that I had been reusing the same 11 shots of fire that I had in my composite gallery, so I ended up going to the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill again and shot about 100 more photos and from that I got 60 more usable composite fire shots. Now I have more options!
Fire is pretty easy to work with, in terms of compositing, it needs a dark background and that's about it. I still haven't figured out how to get it to show up well on a light background, so that's something to work on.
For this shot I just composited three different shots of fire, stretched the canvas up for a portrait shot from a landscape shot, and then clone stamped the edges and filled in some gaps with a black brush (the light from the lighter was making my walls glow). Topped it off with a modified VSCO filter to make the edges of the fire pop and make my hand stand out a bit more, while at the same time fading the background a bit.
I'm not sure what to do for the final photo in this project just yet. I've been kinda winging it this entire project, so I'm sure I'll think of something.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably.
These days I take a far more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, and having moved from professional Nikon equipment to consumer bodies and lenses, I travel light less constraints and more emphasis on the pure capture of the beauty that I see, more akin to my original persuits and goals some five decades previously when starting out. I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to GETTY IMAGES, and the 22.893+ Million visitors to my FLICKR site.

**** This frame was chosen on August 7th 2018 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #80. This is my 103rd photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to every one of the 17.950 Million people who have visited, favourite and commented on this and all of my other photographs here on my FLICKR site. *****
