Trackmen and workers pause for a moment from their routine as a robust looking palindrome WDP-4 from BGKT in LHF negotiates the TSR and the typical SWR gradients pulling the Udaipur bound Palace Queen Humsafar express from Mysore.
New this week for The Saturday Sale!
7 - Gradient Neons
8 LI, mod/copy
Sold Separately
Available 4-4-20 for The Saturday Sale at Seven Emporium
For this I used:
OPI "Skull & Glossbones" (one of my favorite colors ever!)
China Glaze "For Audrey"
and a random no-name turquoise polish!
I stamped with BM-322 and Essence "Blue Ray"
:)
A different take on GBRf Shed 66763 as it passes Melton Ross under brooding skies with the 12.45 Immingham - Cottam PS (6F57) on 12th May 2015. I think this was just before the thunder, lightning and hail storm!
Figured I'd leave the gradient post in for this one.

Clock programmed using Processing. The 'planets' follow the hour, minute, and second hand, whilst the gradients change hue gradually each minute. The gradient is produced by changing the HSB values, with brightness highest for the outer ring and becoming darker by 10% for each ring towards the centre.
Another sunset view, taken from my window, during a stormy evening, the sky was really marvelous this time...
Kirkjufell, near Grundafjordur, Iceland.
I took this image shortly after 430 or so on one clearish dawn on Snaefellsness peninsula. The lighting was striking for a transition between red and blue across the horizon. The rocky beach on the coast is beautiful in the still morning air. I tried to capture the gradient (enhanced with a colour gradient layer) and the triangles in the scene from rock to reflection to mountain to cloud. Broke the rule of thirds but hey, I wasn't fussed this time.
Red light brick + Yellow light brick = orange gradient
Part of a very very old moc, I don't think I've ever posted this.
Not the image I had in mind, in fact, it was facing the opposite direction, but sometimes you just have to go with the conditions you're given. The plan was to photograph The Beehive, a mountain on the eastern side of Mount Desert Island near Sand Beach, as light caught the peak and reflected in the lagoon below. The image was there to be made, but for whatever reason, I didn't feel it was as strong as it could be. Maybe it was the lack of clouds in the sky or lack of water for the reflection, but I just wasn't feeling it. In any case, the light behind me, and particularly the gradient of color, was too good to pass up. I quickly found a composition, choosing a low angle to add depth and show some of the character of the area, all while the color intensified... and just before another photographer stepped in frame in the gap between the hillside and grasses in the distance.

Looking at a particularly beautiful image of the sun helps show how the lines between science and art can sometimes blur. But there is more to the connection between the two disciplines: science and art techniques are often quite similar, indeed one may inform the other or be improved based on lessons from the other arena. One such case is a technique known as a "gradient filter" – recognizable to many people as an option available on a photo-editing program. Gradients are, in fact, a mathematical description that highlights the places of greatest physical change in space. A gradient filter, in turn, enhances places of contrast, making them all the more obviously different, a useful tool when adjusting photos. Scientists, too, use gradient filters to enhance contrast, using them to accentuate fine structures that might otherwise be lost in the background noise. On the sun, for example, scientists wish to study a phenomenon known as coronal loops, which are giant arcs of solar material constrained to travel along that particular path by the magnetic fields in the sun's atmosphere. Observations of the loops, which can be more or less tangled and complex during different phases of the sun's 11-year activity cycle, can help researchers understand what's happening with the sun's complex magnetic fields, fields that can also power great eruptions on the sun such as solar flares or coronal mass ejections.
The still here shows an unfiltered image from the sun next to one that has been processed using a gradient filter. Note how the coronal loops are sharp and defined, making them all the more easy to study. On the other hand, gradients also make great art.
