Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. The human eye can distinguish about 500 shades of gray.

_______________________
Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.
-- Gerhard Richter

Hi everyone,
It is with a great sense of satisfaction and pride that I announce that I'm stepping down as Owner and Publisher of Attention SL Magazine and all of it's various arms and wings. I started Attention SL with Jon Demen in 2016 as a niche magazine focused on the porn world and watched it grow into a beloved SL institution.
I'm passing the baton onto Tory King. He will take up the challenge of guiding it into it's future. Had I just shuttered the title, I would have been really sad. I'm thrilled he has accepted my charge to keep it alive and successful.
I'm also proud to announce that Gavin Huntsman will be continuing in his capacity as leader of the Attention on Cancer charity wing.
I have a lot of people to thank. I'm probably going to miss someone important, so please forgive me.
First of all, this project never would have gotten started without Jon Demen, Eleni Criss and Yana Grau. They all encouraged me after my experience with SL Connoisseur that I could do it better on my own. They were right and I owe them my genuine love and appreciation.
Some other early people of note: Rachel Avro, Brunella Voelisa, Isle Biedermann, Partee Mytili, Brea Brianna, Barracuz, Samantha Ansar, Stephan Buscaylet, Graham Collinson, BeeQueen Smythe, Whimsical Aristocrat ... I'm really reaching back to the heady days of early Attention when we were still figuring things out.
I want to thank Moon, Gavin and Azimuth Somme for all of their work behind the scenes.
I want to thank Ted Dosei for his friendship and for teaching me InDesign.
I want to thank the New York branch of my family, Kieth Porterfield.
I would also like to thank every photographer who has ever provided a picture or their time to this magazine. There are way too many staff and guests for me to ever, ever remember, but you all know who you are. Even if you drove me insane, I still appreciated you.
Additionally, I would like to thank all of our sponsors and advertisers who gave me some Lindens every month because they believed in what we were doing.
I'll remain on the Attention SL staff, so this is not a total goodbye.
Til next time ... I love you.

I tried several versions of this but I liked a softened monochrome of this High Capacity Postal Trolley best.
In my official capacity, I need to visit Jalpaiguri. This place where Teesta Barrage is located is known as Gajoldoba. Morning looks so serene and calm with the reflection of Sun, transmission tower and Street light on water is almost perfect. I did not use any ND filter here. Shot was handheld and being a cloudy day, Sun was not so harsh either.
Love this place #gajoldoba #gajaldoba #teestabarrage #sunrise

This one is not a crop, but if you look closely at the larger version you'll see just how much that ventral groove blubber attached to the lower jaw has been stretched! The pink stripes makes it easy to see how huge it is! Pretty amazing!
There are a number of humpbacks in this shot, but that is not a whale in the foreground, by the way. It's a wave breaking on the shore.
Total capacity is 3,300 billion litres. The lake is currently just under 100% after many years of drought and has not been this full since October, 1996.
This photo was taken at approximately 95% capacity. Two years ago the lake was at 25% capacity and the lowest level ever was 5.3% in April, 2007 exposing many old homes, farms and bridges.
It is now once again a haven for boating enthusiasts who enjoy fishing and water skiing and has greatly revived the economies of the townships that surround the lake who rely on it for survival.

Dimitrios (Greek Δημήτριος) is a Greek shipwreck famous due to its picturesque location on an easily accessible sandy beach near Gythio, Greece.
Dimitrios (previously named Klintholm), a small, 67-metre (220 ft) cargo ship of 965 gross register tons cargo capacity built in Denmark in 1950, was registered in the Prefecture of Piraeus, registration no. 2707. The ship belonged 76.75% to the Molaris Brothers (Greek: Αφοί Μόλαρη) and 23.25% to the Matsinos Brothers (Greek Αφοί Ματσινού). Dimitrios has been stranded on the beach at Valtaki (Greek Βαλτάκι) in today's Evrotas municipality in the prefecture of Laconia, Greece, since 23 December 1981.
There are many rumors about the ship's origins and how it got stranded on the beach. Most relate that the ship was used to smuggle cigarettes between Turkey and Italy. She was seized by the port authorities of Gythio and then deliberately released from the port and left to be dragged by the sea to the beach at Valtaki, about 5 kilometres (2.7 nmi; 3.1 mi) from the port of Gythio. She was then set on fire to hide the evidence of cigarette smuggling. Another, less common rumor speaks of a ghost ship of unknown origins.
However, according to a book written by the Honorary Chief of the Hellenic Coast Guard, Vice Admiral Christos Ntounis (1935–2010), Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses (translated as The shipwrecks of the Greek seas) there is more to be said about the true history of the ship.
In Ta Navagia stis Ellinikes thalasses (Volume B 1950–2000), Ntounis writes that the ship made an emergency docking at Gythio on 4 December 1980 because her captain needed access to a hospital due to a serious illness. However, after the ship's docking, financial problems arose with the crew, as did various engine problems, coupled with insurance measures imposed by various lenders. The crew was then fired and the task of safeguarding the ship was assigned to Georgios Daniil and Vasilis Parigoris.
The ship was docked at Gythio until June 1981, when she was declared unsafe due to wear on the docking ropes and starboard list due to water entering her hull. The port authorities asked for her to be moved to an anchorage outside the port for safety reasons, but the owners did not respond until November 1981. The book states that "at approximately 12:30 p.m. on the 9th of November 1981 the ship was swept about 2 [nautical?] miles [2.3 miles; 3.7 km] away due to severe weather conditions and it was temporary anchored". But the temporary anchorage did not last for long, as the ship was swept away again and finally stranded at its current location on the beach at Valtaki on 23 December 1981. The ship was then simply abandoned there and no attempts were made to recover her.

After a string of 4 clear nights in late March, it's been a long time since we have had a stretch of clear moonless nights. So no astrophotography for me…
In the meantime, I had upgraded one of my astro cameras to a new camera known as the ZWO ASI2600MM-Pro. This is a mono camera based on a new generation of larger APS-C size sensors. It offers much higher resolution, a full 16-bits of dynamic range, outstanding noise characteristics, and a much deeper well capacity (which means I can overexpose bright areas of the image - stars - much more before I saturate the sensor). This was also a bigger and heavier camera and I needed to rework my rig to balance things out. I have been eager to test this out.
Recently I had that chance. Choosing Messier 63 - the Sunflower Galaxy as my target I took over 15 hours of exposures through Luminesce, Red, Green, Blue and Hydrogen-Alpha filters over the nights of May 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th. I thought I had clear nights but it turns out that thin clouds passed through on EVERY night - enough cloud to mess-up my exposures but not enough to shut things down. I inspected every single frame and I ended up throwing out 5 HOURS of data due to "Cloud Pollution". I got to tell you - that HURTS.
So about our Target…
I have captured M63 before and I wanted to see what difference I could make with a new camera and a bit more experience under my belt. I am very pleased with the result of my first effort with this camera. Good detail, excellent color.
Located 29.3 Million Light Years away, this is what Wikipedia has to say about M63:
Messier 63 or M63, also known as NGC 5055 or the seldom-used Sunflower Galaxy,[6] is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici with approximately 400 billion stars.[7] M63 was first discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain, then later verified by his colleague Charles Messier on June 14, 1779.[6] The galaxy became listed as object 63 in the Messier Catalogue. In the mid-19th century, Anglo-Irish astronomer Lord Rosse identified spiral structures within the galaxy, making this one of the first galaxies in which such structure was identified.[8]
The shape or morphology of this galaxy has a classification of SAbc,[5] indicating a spiral form with no central bar feature (SA) and moderate to loosely wound arms (bc). There is a general lack of large-scale continuous spiral structure in visible light, so it is considered a flocculent galaxy. However, when observed in the near infrared, a symmetric, two-arm structure is seen. Each arm wraps 150° around the galaxy and extends out to 13,000 light-years (4,000 parsecs) from the nucleus.[9]
M63 is a weakly active galaxy with a LINER nucleus – short for 'low-ionization nuclear emission-line region'. This displays as an unresolved source at the galactic nucleus that is cloaked in a diffuse emission. The latter is extended along a position angle of 110° relative to the north celestial pole, and both soft X-rays and hydrogen (H-alpha) emission can be observed coming from along nearly the same direction.[10] The existence of a super massive black hole (SMBH) at the nucleus is uncertain; if it does exist, then the mass is estimated as (8.5±1.9)×108 M☉,[11] or around 850 million times the mass of the Sun.

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. The sinking of Titanic caused the deaths of 1,514 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. She was the largest ship afloat at the time of her maiden voyage. One of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, she was built between 1909–11 by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. She carried 2,224 people.
Her passengers included some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as over a thousand emigrants from Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere seeking a new life in North America. The ship was designed to be the last word in comfort and luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants and opulent cabins. She also had a powerful wireless telegraph provided for the convenience of passengers as well as for operational use. Though she had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, she lacked enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard. Due to outdated maritime safety regulations, she carried only enough lifeboats for 1,178 people – a third of her total passenger and crew capacity.
After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading westwards towards New York. On 14 April 1912, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm (ship's time; UTC-3). The glancing collision caused Titanic's hull plates to buckle inwards in a number of locations on her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea. Over the next two and a half hours, the ship gradually filled with water and sank. Passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats, many of which were launched only partly filled. A disproportionate number of men – over 90% of those in Second Class – were left aboard due to a "women and children first" protocol followed by the officers loading the lifeboats. Just before 2:20 am Titanic broke up and sank bow-first with over a thousand people still on board. Those in the water died within minutes from hypothermia caused by immersion in the freezing ocean. The 710 survivors were taken aboard from the lifeboats by the RMS Carpathia a few hours later.
The disaster was greeted with worldwide shock and outrage at the huge loss of life and the regulatory and operational failures that had led to it. Public inquiries in Britain and the United States led to major improvements in maritime safety. One of their most important legacies was the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which still governs maritime safety today. Many of the survivors lost all of their money and possessions and were left destitute; many families, particularly those of crew members from Southampton, lost their primary bread-winners. They were helped by an outpouring of public sympathy and charitable donations. Some of the male survivors, notably the White Star Line's chairman, J. Bruce Ismay, were accused of cowardice for leaving the ship while people were still on board, and they faced social ostracism.
The wreck of the Titanic remains on the seabed, gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet (3,784 m). Since its rediscovery in 1985, thousands of artefacts have been recovered from the sea bed and put on display at museums around the world. Titanic has become one of the most famous ships in history, her memory kept alive by numerous books, films, exhibits and memorials.
Belfast has opened the Iconic Titanic Signature Building which will house Titanic Belfast ® it is iconic in design and houses a world class visitor attraction. It is located at Titanic Quarter (East Belfast). The exhibition is based on the theme of the Titanic and the wider subject of Belfast’s shipbuilding and maritime heritage. Of such scale, the building is likely to become Northern Ireland’s largest and most successful built attraction.
A symbolic statue made by world-renowned Irish sculptor Rowan Gillespie has been unveiled at Titanic Belfast.
‘Titanica’, a female figure designed to represent hope and positivity.
Gillespie has had work commissioned across the world, from Moscow to LA, but Titanica is his first work in Northern Ireland.
Titanica has been placed on the plaza in front of the iconic Titanic Belfast building, the world’s largest Titanic visitor attraction which will formally open on Saturday.
The bronze sculpture with a high-bolted brass base is a life-size female figure, similar to female figureheads which historically rested on the bows of ships as a symbol of good fortune.
Gillespie said: “I visited Titanic Quarter early last year and was so inspired by the stunning architecture and the energy of the development and the construction working there that I was moved to make something special for the area.
“I spent the next 12 months working on the sculpture and it is a real honour to have my work displayed in front of Titanic Belfast, one of the most impressive architectural designs in Europe. I hope Titanica provides as much joy for those who see her as I had in making her.”

A jeepney plying the route of Olongapo City and the municipalities of Subic, Castillejos and San Marcelino, Zambales, stops as it picks up a male passenger near the corner of the national road and a village street.
The most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines that can be seen nearly everywhere in the country which is composed of 7,100 islands, jeepney has a long history that dated back to the end of the Second World War. It's earlier plain version was just a modified US military jeeps left over from the war.
At present the traditionally designed jeepneys with refurbished diesel engines have various sitting capacities. Those that service long routes have a usual capacity up to 20 passengers, just like the one pictured here.
