Just a quick one for you today.
I was messing around with an image of fallen leaves (of which I have zillions) using Affinity on the iPad. My “bright” idea this time was to try combining the posterise filter with the detect edges filter.
The posterise filter reduces the number of colours of an image, so you tend to end up with blocks of uniform colour. The theory went that the detect edges would find the edges of these posterised blocks and would therefore detect more than in the image with gradual colour gradients.
So this was done using posterise set at seven levels followed by the application of the detect edges filter. The edge detection tends to leave a dark result with a lot of subdued colours, so the rest of the fun was strengthening and brightening the image, changing the overall hue and similar playtime escapades.
I’m not sure the posterise/detect edges combination was particularly effective here as there were quite a few edges in this image anyway, but I thought the end result was quite nice.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for taking the time to look. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
I’ll post a link to the in-camera original in the first comment as usual.
37124 and 37024 ease down the gradient in Buxworth cutting as they approach New Mills South Junction with their rake of loaded stone hoppers on February 5th 1986.
Der gemischte Güterzug DG 54490 von Linz Vbf Ost nach Hall in Tirol nimmt den innerösterreichischen Weg über die Giselabahn. Am 07. August 2025 war er recht lang, so dass zur Bewältigung der Steigung am Pass Griesen gleich drei Loks der Baureihe 1293 vorgespannt wurden. Eine Betriebssituation, die man in Deutschland mangels Zulässigkeit nie wird beobachten können. Die über 26.000 PS Traktionsleistung wurden von 1293 024, 018 und 052 erbracht. Zwischen Kirchberg und Brixen im Thale konnte ich den imposanten Zug mit dem Kitzbühler Horn im Hintergrund fotografieren.
The mixed freight train DG 54490 from Linz Vbf Ost to Hall in Tirol takes the inner-Austrian route via the Giselabahn. On 7 August 2025, it was quite long, so three class 1293 locomotives were used to tackle the gradient at the Griesen Pass. This is an operating situation that can never be observed in Germany due to a lack of regulatory approval. The more than 26,000 hp of traction power was provided by 1293 024, 018 and 052. Between Kirchberg and Brixen im Thale, I was able to photograph the impressive train with the Kitzbühler Horn in the background.

Sunny peaks with mild and dry air, shady valley with frosty, humid and cold air: it is a classic of some alpine valleys, plains and basins in conditions of high pressure and calm wind during the late autumn and winter period.
The valley hoar frost (produced by freezing fog that then dissolved) makes this air column reversal gradient evident.
The cold air, heavier, stagnates towards the bottom while the warm, lighter, air slides above it, so every long night with clear skies the air in the valley becomes colder and more humid.
It is an orographic/microclimatic self-produced cold, due to the loss of heat from soil towards space which occurs mainly during the late autumn (and winter) long clear nights but which also persists during the day, due to the weak and low sun on the horizon, with greater evidence in the shaded areas.
a life is not a flat plane. it is a steep and unforgiving gradient. a hard line drawn between the shadow of the past and the bright, unknown summit. there are no spectators. there is only the rough texture of the concrete and the solitary rhythm of the climb. the destination is not the point. the upward movement is everything.

Previously unpublished shot from June 2017.
While I am not out on the street, thankfully, I am now officially homeless and am on the list for emergency temporary accommodation. I may find myself in a place without Internet access and could be in that position for 6-8 months or more.
Also realising just how small one bedroom apartments are means that in the next 4 weeks I have to streamline my life like never before. I will have to get rid so much of my life I fear there will be nothing left to hang on to. I know that possessions are ultimately unimportant, they are a part of our own personal stories and I am not ready to rid myself of so much of them. I have little choice.
In the 'temporary' accommodation I could also end up in the middle of nowhere. Isolated. I cannot express how terrifying this all is while suffering from C-PTSD where comfort, continuity and safety are paramount. It is taking almost all of my effort to remain in a position to be able to do even simple things.
I know that you must all be sick of hearing negative things from me. It helps me to write out and share these things and please know that when, or if, positive things happen, I will share those with fervour.
I thank you for all of your support. Every little helps. Take care.

Country Life, my cosmos garden
田舎暮らし・コスモス園
Of all the plants I planted this year, this was the only one with small, gradient-colored cosmos flowers. I liked it so much that I have already harvested the seeds.
今年植えた中でこのグラデーション色の小さなお花のコスモスが一本だけ含まれていました。気に入ったので、種を収穫済み。来年のお楽しみです。

A serene morning sunrise bathes the Honolulu skyline in gentle hues of orange and pink. The silhouette of Diamond Head crater looms peacefully in the distance, while the quiet city below begins to stir with the first light of day. The soft gradient of the sky captures the calm before the hustle, blending warm and cool tones to reflect a picturesque Hawaiian dawn. Perfect for anyone seeking a moment of calm and natural beauty.

After a Heavy Downpour Erode WDM-3D 14144 in Short Hood Forward Chugging hard as it climbs a gradient with 19259 Kochuveli-Bhavnagar Express Rushing through the Countryside
This one was a toughie to process... the reflected sunlight gave me a lot of noise, a bunch of clipping, and a banded gradient. Meh... it was my fault, really. I don't use a lens hood and I wasn't really thinking about the glare when I took the shot. That being said, I did the most I could with this and it's good enough for me :).
A couple people asked how I blend gradient banding in Photoshop. The process is pretty simple... in short, I selected the sky, created a new layer (via copy), performed a gaussian blur on the new layer to soften the transitions, created an "overlay-neutral (50% gray)" layer, added 2% uniform noise, and that pretty much did the trick. I couldn't rely on Picnik at all after I uploaded... the Flickr resizer is not at all gradient-friendly. The step-by-step is outlined here.
A colorful winter sunset taken in high-res mode through my Agfa Agnar 85mm f4.5. This lens came off of an old Agfa Isolette that my Grandfather bought in Germany during his time in the army in the late 40’s. It’s an interesting, surprisingly sharp, lens with extra sentimental value.
