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.

Estou na fase dos gradientes...
Acho que vai rolar post sobre essa mani <3
Só digo uma coisa: nesse sanduÃche 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.
Oregon Coast (Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area)
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... ;)
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.
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
Vertical panorama of the sunset at Sandy Point in Maryland, the photo still does not do the sunset justice!
March 20 moon, due to the moon being higher in the sky I needed to keep the lens wide to fit more of the sunset colours
ISO 200 | 1/200 sec | f/2.8 | 25mm
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...
The Last train of the day, headed up by the NNR's 4MT attacks the climb over the coast road on it's way West to Weybourne on a moody January afternoon.
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 CÃtrico 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!
