Andong train station, timed the sunset just right, got off the train, walked off the platform, got this. Nikon D800.
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"
:)
I am not really happy with this long exposure.
I succeeded in preserving some structure in the waterfall, but the central portion at the feet of the waterfall is almost wash-out. Indeed there is no texture or some sort of gradient..that day I learned that water sprays are not really compatible with long exposure, or at least with the result I was leaning to. The 10-stops ND filter was simply too much. Probably with a 3-stops I could have achieved a better result..

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.
Oi queridas! Como estão?
Hoje aproveitei o lindo esmalte Fascínio Violeta da Jade para fazer uma gradiente holográfica inspirada neste post da Kelly no blog Esmaltes da Kelly.
Pela primeira vez depois de muito tempo postarei fotos da minha mão esquerda porque achei que a gradiente ficou mais bonita que a outra mão...rs. Mesmo assim também postarei as fotos da mão direita porque gosto delas! Rs (para quem não sabe sou canhota, por isso sempre posto fotos da mão direita).

Beijos.
Another sunset view, taken from my window, during a stormy evening, the sky was really marvelous this time...
Using a Photoshop action script I wrote a few years ago, I spun this heart around 180 degree and re-sized with every step. (about 50 layers)
The original heart shape was the full size one all the way in the back. Every new heart layer's colour was inverted, which offers the stripes and gives a bit more of a 3D look, but not 3D made.
Smoke brush set and a pinkish radial gradient layer both set behind hearts.
The BIG SIZE here... tricky on the eyes
Anyway, Happy pre- Valentines Day.
:-)
There sadly comes a day, when you just won't pay

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.
This has been done for a long time, but I always thought it unfinished. However, I can't really decide what else to add, so I might as well post it.
This is a bit more constructive and less improvisational than the rest of my work. Kind of like a combination of Rothko and Mondrian.

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.

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.
Thoughts on this version ... I added in some contrast to the clear sky in this version. First time really attempting this so feedback appreciated for ways to possible improve. Original mono processed shot below.
