Flowers always make a good Photo. This was was set against a very dark background to highlight the light and subtle colours of the flowers themselves.
I finished this one a few weeks ago but haven't had time to post it yet. What do you guys think? Also if you guys have any ideas for vehicles I should build I am all ears.
Without an atmosphere containing water vapour and dust a sunset would be just like turning off a light.
(Breathing would also be a bit of a problem).

This landscape version may just make it into a future calendar ... though there is still another version I've yet to release ;-)
"Messier 5 (M5) is a bright globular cluster located in the northern constellation Serpens. It lies at a distance of 24,500 light years from Earth, in the galactic halo of the Milky Way."

It's been a long time coming but TMG has just launched its first ever Memorial Garden, called Memories. Honour those who you might have lost in this lovely garden setting. Comes with 3 separate rezzers 1.) Memorial Garden, 2.) Just a regular garden and 3.) A rezzer with a cut lawn rather than a meadow. This build is only available at the Swank Event and you can pick up a demo to try first.

Look at me Coyote;
Don't let a little road dust put you off
You can't judge a book
Well you know that stuff
There's a tear in my upholstery
And a hole in my shoe
But don't you just wish that you could
Make half of the speed I do
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
You can't catch me coyote
Though there may be blood on the tracks
There may be some bridges burning
Behind our backs
But I got my laundry on the backseat
And an itinerary too...
This Globular Clusters in the constellation Serpens is one of the brighter in the sky. It photographs nicely at low exposures. Shot from Bortle 8 skies in New Orleans.

I recently acquired this near mint 1973 Leica M5. Visually-speaking, the Leica M5 was the most unusual of all M cameras. It came with a variety of innovations and was Leitz's first rangefinder camera with an integrated light meter. Despite its undeniable advantages, not all M fans appreciated the visual changes. Personally, I love the design and handling of the M5, and have shot a roll of Ilford HP5 with it (results posted in the near future).
This image is a labor of love. Originally begun in 2022 and finally finished this year. It is comprised of images from 2 different telescopes, 2 different cameras, two types of binning, and 9 different exposure lengths. I had no idea how difficult it would be to marry all this data together. Finally, here it is.
Discovered in 1702 by the German astronomer Gottfried Kirch, M5 is one of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 6.7 and a location 25,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens, M5 appears as a patch of light with a pair of binoculars and is best viewed during May.
A majority of M5’s stars formed more than 12 billion years ago, but there are some unexpected newcomers on the scene, adding some vitality to this aging population.
Stars in globular clusters are believed to form in the same stellar nursery and grow old together. The most massive stars age quickly, exhausting their fuel supply in less than a million years, and end their lives in spectacular supernova explosions. This process should have left the ancient cluster M5 with only old, low-mass stars.
Yet astronomers have spotted many young, blue stars amongst the ancient stars in this cluster. Astronomers think that these laggard youngsters, called blue stragglers, were created either by collisions between stars or other stellar interactions. Such events are easy to imagine in densely populated globular clusters, in which up to a few million stars are tightly packed together. Text from NASA/Goddard

M5 V2 is perhaps slightly better. V2 used a masked stretch, which made the stars smaller but resulted in a clouded overall look. In V3 I decided to go with a more conventional stretch for better clarity. Now in V4 I've used all my tricks, and its made a marked improvement. Well, perhaps not all my tricks. In V5 I used a layered approach, stretching the stars until they neared saturation, then removing them, then repeat with dimmer stars. This did a better job exposing some of the core.
This is one bad-ass BMW M5. Customized Eisenmann exhausts, Hamann wheels, carbon front spoiler and several other carbon parts are fitted on the car. The engine was upgraded from 507 bhp to somewhere just over 550 bhp.
Dont't forget to comment and fav if you like it.
