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.

Here’s my LA Girl repaint with her hair acrylic paint dyed. I basically watered down some acrylic paint to be the consistency of translucent water and used a paintbrush to brush on the liquid and used A LOT of paper towels to squeeze out the excess. I wanted the tips to be the original colour cuz I’ve seen a ton of dyed hair with bleached ends so lol.
I mostly chose blue since I knew it would look nice with the pink and make a purple gradient. The flocked part was hard to get consistent but since I didn’t want to rub off the flock I just gently dabbed on the pant water with a brush and hoped for the best.
Of course the paint ended up all over her face so I wiped it down with acetone after it dried and repainted the stuff back on lol.
Estou na fase dos gradientes...
Acho que vai rolar post sobre essa mani <3
Só digo uma coisa: nesse sanduíche de cores que na verdade foram 5 esmaltes tem o lançamento da Dany Vianna que são os Purple Potio e o Kelly Green!
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.

Maybe an hour after sunset the sky was still light in the west. There was a storm approaching which made part of the sky very dark. I was hoping to catch lightening in the distance when it started getting closer. I took a couple photos and then fled.
I cleaned out some small bottles of shower gel the other day. Came up with this little idea last night. Different amounts of blue food dye in bottles.
I'm sure the driver of 70807 does as they bring the loaded Sunday 6M57 Lindsay - Kingsbury up the gradient between Mexborough and Swinton .
Half hour previously the DB operated 6E68 Kingsbury - Humber had passed by , both running on a Sunday has become more frequent since Colas took over the Lindsey oil trains .

Vertical panorama of the sunset at Sandy Point in Maryland, the photo still does not do the sunset justice!
I wonder if anyone else feels that urge to wind up their drop spindle in the prettiest gradient possible while spinning, or if that's just me being weird...
Once again, sometimes you just have to keep your eyes open and be ready for the proper occasion. This shot has been taken five minutes from home. It's a secret spot, so don't tell anyone... ;)

Primeiro vou contar que essas unhas causaram mais do que minha zebra tropical!!! TODO MUNDO fica olhando, a caixa do supermercado, as colegas do serviço, até minha sogra falou delas. Uma mina do trampo quer q eu faça igual nas unhas dela, só que em azul, pra combinar com o vestido da formatura!! Opa será minha chance de ganhar dinheiro com isso?? Ahahaha
Agora como eu fiz:
1. Passei uma camada de Coral Chic da Colorama
2. Com uma esponja de cozinha cortada(parte amarela) apliquei com batidinhas o Laranja Cítrico da Colorama, da metade pra ponta da unha, deixando a "raiz" com o Coral Chic aparecendo
3. Com outro pedaço de esponja, passei(dando as batidinhas) o Atrevida, da Colorama, mais na ponta da unha, deixando o laranja e o coral à mostra
4. Passei mais uma camada de Coral Chic por cima de tudo.
5. Passei o Raio de Sol da Biguniverso por cima pq eu sou DragQueen e adoro um glitter, ok?
E ficou lindo assim!!
Fica como opção de unhas diferentes pras alérgicas, como usei praticamente só esmaltes Colorama. É só não passar a ultima camada "Priscilla a Rainha do Deserto" de breeeelho q eu passei!

Modéstia parte acho que de todas as unhas que eu fiz na vida essa foi a mais linda!
Usei:
Quase para sempre - Avon
Sweet Dream - Capricho
Estilosa - Lorrac
Branco para carimbo - Blant
Plaquinha M57-1
Extra brilho - Argento (não mancha o carimbo)
Ficou lindo demais!
A foto num tá aquelas coisas porque o dia tá super escuro hoje, mas pessoalmente tá muito lindo! Espero que vcs gostem tanto quanto eu.
Beeijos
Olá!! Essa é a 22ª unha do desafio, não achei que o gradiente tinha muito a ver com o Halloween, por isso tentei fazer uma arte pra cominar com a data. Usei para fazer o gradiente, Impala Doce Oceano e Kolt Sedução e o resto é tinta acrílica. Beijos!
O primeiro gradiente a gente nunca esquece!
Devia fazer uns 6 meses que eu estava ensaiando fazer essa nail art, mas só agora arrumei a devida coragem.
Não sei se fui muito ousada na combinação das cores, mas posso dizer que chamou bastante a atenção das pessoas e muita gente me parava para perguntar como que eu tinha feito o efeito degradê nas unhas.
Eu particularmente gostei bastante também, e comprei meus esmaltes da Barbie exatamente com esse objetivo fixado. Eu tinha a idéia de fazer uma combinação mais suave, mas essas 2 cores ganharam meu coração!
Também foi uma estréia com os esmaltes da que eu já tinha aqui mas ainda não havia usado. Gostei muito das cores deles, em especial do Look (azul), mas o Favorite (Rosa) também é bem bonito, e tem bem a cara daquele rosa Barbie mesmo.
Que idéias/cores/marcas vocês sugerem para meu próximo degradê?

About
A break from the fog. Back to my B&W experiments.
This is Nudgee Beach (well more like mudflats). The reflections found here are unparalleled to none.
This was taken around Easter this year. See those clouds? Well they were full of rain, and I sure found out how much when it bucketed down on me, twice.
Processing
A little bit of work on this one. LR2 B&W High Contrast preset. Some clarity and 2 gradient filters - on the top to darken the sky and one on the bottom to lighten the foreground. Some curves fun as well. A slight crop and noise reduction too.
