Just playing abound with the Gradient Map filter function in PS.
Around the end of December, I had been thinking about resolutions. Maybe, I thought, I could resolve to upload a few more pictures to Flickr more regularly (recreation is a good thing in life).... But now it is Feb 2nd, and I uploaded all of 2 pictures in the last 6 weeks. It is a good thing I never actually made that resolution.
But photography is still fun! So I was playing around with gradient map filters to try to make the sky more dramatic here, and I ended up going off the deep end.
This supersparkly manicure I created sprinkling loose silver holographic glitter over wet nail polish (Claudia Cosmetics Glistening Snow) from the tipp to the center of the nail & charcoal loose holographic glitter from the center down to the finger. To make a soft gradient I mixed both glitters & sprinkled the "mixture" over the middle of the nail & finally sealed everything with 3 coats of OPI Top Coat.
It looks sooo dazzling! A perfect New Year's manicure.
Gradiente feita com esponja amarela de cozinha.
Usei como base o Jordana boy oh boy, esponjei com o OPI its up to blue, OPI purple with a purpose, e o Orly fowl play. Para terminar uma camada de Seche Vite top coat.
Adorei o efeito :)
Tentem fazer em casa, recomendo.
Unfortunately the Gradient Diagram in New Street Powerbox is hidden behind fax/photocopiers which made getting a record of it fairly difficult. So this was the best I could do. However if you view the Flickr original size you will find that most of the relevant information is legible.

Evening settles gently over Sea Ranch, and the lodge appears to rise from the coastal meadow as though it grew there naturally. The architecture’s weathered timber siding blends with the muted tones of grasses shaped by ocean winds, creating a visual continuity that reflects the original design philosophy of this iconic community. The sky transitions from pale blue to a deeper twilight gradient, and a small, bright moon hangs above the angular silhouette of the building, giving the scene a quiet, cinematic quality.
The structure’s geometric forms feel intentional yet understated, echoing the rugged landscape rather than competing with it. Clerestory windows, projecting rooms, and simple rooflines compose a rhythm that mirrors the horizontal sweep of the coast. In the fading light, the windows catch the last reflections of the day, glowing faintly like lanterns that offer warmth in contrast to the cool air rolling off the Pacific. It’s a reminder of how Sea Ranch architecture always balances refuge with exposure—protection with openness.
The meadow in the foreground tells its own story. Tall grasses ripple in uneven patches, carrying the imprint of seasonal cycles, wind, and wildlife. Their textures create a natural tapestry that frames the lodge from below, grounding the building firmly in its environment. Sea Ranch was conceived as a place where landscape and structure weave together, and this image captures that ethos clearly. The grass isn’t manicured or staged; it’s wild, alive, and central to the character of the place.
Looking toward the horizon, the ocean appears soft and almost pastel under the dusk light. There’s no dramatic surf here, just the suggestion of an endless expanse—an understated backdrop that makes the foreground architecture feel rooted and humble. The meeting of land, sea, and sky feels seamless. It highlights why this stretch of the California coast has inspired designers, photographers, and nature lovers for decades.
The moment portrayed feels contemplative. The absence of people amplifies the quiet presence of the building, inviting viewers to imagine themselves stepping into the frame, walking the paths, and breathing in the cool coastal air. It speaks to the spirit of Sea Ranch as a sanctuary—an intersection of modern design, environmental respect, and solitude.
The lodge stands not as an isolated object but as a participant in the landscape. The dusk light, the grasses, the Pacific horizon, and the moon above all work together to create a sense of calm that feels both designed and completely natural. It’s a scene that reflects the ideals of the community: simplicity, restraint, and a deep connection to the rhythms of land and sea.
This is a combination of four images that I have stiched together. They show the gradient profile charts that are pinned high up on the wall inside Exeter Panel Signal Box.

Best viewed 'Original' size.
I colored Fimo translucent with alcohol ink to get the color gradient that makes up this bracelet.
I used alcohol inks to get the bright colors and created this bracelet without a pasta machine, without using cutters, and with no skinner blends. There's a link to the tutorial on my website.

Taken on Sunday morning just before the sun actually crested the horizon. The tiny sliver of moon was almost not even visible when the sun was up.
This is an image of which I am very proud. It looks like just a cool gradient, a cool processing trick but it is much more to me. Life look different every time you look at it, even in twelve minute intervals.
This week has been warm and perfect summer weather for time at the beach; it was as warm and perfect as it appears here. This is the Balboa Pier in Newport. Newport Pier is much more popular (with those from Riverside County) but Balboa is much more pleasant and enjoyable. Each successive exposure is twelve minutes apart. I am planning on doing an image like this again but with an even more frequent exposures.
I've wanted to do this for a while but got the idea to do it this week from a friend of mine who had to come to the beach as well. I got the idea for this image from another image I saw like it. I searched for it but could not find it - I'd love to credit it as the original inspiration.
The Sun is near you, For all your energy need, Connect with Sun.
It is Free. It is plenty, It is Pure, It is natural.
Will the Politicians agree? Will the so called Scientists do it? Will the Fossil Fuelers will let you do it? A big question mark?. Let us hope , it will happen.
This Sunrise shot was made in Dubai. The two pylons you see the background is of the same as you see in front. They are arranged parallely.

RE: Connect with Sun for Energy
Now, Early days we were using wood as fuel, at least that was better than the fossil fuel and slitting of atom.
There are many other alternatives, Hydro power non polluting,
wind power non polluting, human power non polluting, hydrogen power non polluting, and many more possibilities are there which can be seriously pursued to satisfy our thirst for energy.
Oil and Atomic lobby is rich and big, therefore it is very difficult for the world to wriggle out from their clutch. Let us wait and see.

I've really been thinking about Disney a lot lately since we are starting to plan our California vacation which includes my first trip to Disneyland. That's made me start looking through old WDW photos I haven't posted. A little TLC went a long way with this one and I was able to save it a bit. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
