London Underground 72 MkII stock 3555 slows up the gradient into Queens Park working Train 225 from Elephant and Castle. 12/03/2022
I think this is my most popular photo, I've seen it on tumblr several times and I honestly don't really like it that much but thanks everyone, your comments and favourites really mean a lot! :)

A rather metallic-looking snowflake with a curious center that has a gradient of depth to it that is hard to achieve with lighting. How was it done? There’s a bit of an optical illusion at play!
First, I love all the tiny bubbles in the center of this snowflake. They seem almost painterly while also feeling slightly like rust spots on a metal dish; both defects and part of an intentional design at the same time. As a snowflake grows outward, these bubbles form in areas that are receiving less water vapour. Usually, this is much more orderly. Sometimes it can be rather chaotic, and it’s not exactly known why.
There is a tendency for the center area of each prism facet to have more bubbles here, and that makes sense. This area has the least access to available building blocks, so we see larger bubbles in this zone. There are patterns formed by the other bubbles however, that might be based on the aerodynamics of the snowflake as it spins, twirls through the air to collect itself into an airborne sculpture. I am reminded of this snowflake from a number of years ago (www.flickr.com/photos/donkom/15820188480/ ) that had a very orderly bubble pattern that I also couldn’t explain – this new snowflake seems to have some sort of similar influence.
But then there’s the lighting on the center. It feels almost like it’s pushing up towards the camera! What would cause a snowflake to do that? It’s not on the front surface, it’s on the back. The front is flat, but the reverse side is concave – the snowflake is growing inward towards the center of the hexagon, which gives all the curves you see and “bends” the reverse side in a way that affects the light. This snowflake is balanced very delicately on a lighting angle between a reflective surface and reflective edges – easy to spot by looking at the top branch and bottom branches – they have a slightly different feel to them, and the middle of the snowflake is where they meet.
You can see a similar central effect in this snowflake from a few years ago: www.flickr.com/photos/donkom/12465174275/ - also caused by inward crystal growth on the reverse side. It’s a beautiful effect, and one that is very hard to showcase visually. The angle of light is razor this to make this work, and I’ve only found it a handful of times when the subject would work well with it.
The tiny stow-away in the bottom right, the simple and elegant branches, and the overall “organic” feel of this snowflake work so well visually… I’m glad I was able to discover it before it faded away!
Many more such discoveries, and all of the techniques used to photograph them, are outlined in exhaustive detail in my book Sky Crystals: www.skycrystals.ca/

I encountered a YouTube video about converting color to B&W using gradient maps. Like most such videos it was terrible, but after 6 or 7 hours I finally unravelled what it was all about. In fact, the technique itself is extremely powerful, so much so that I may explain it on my AnEyeForTexas blog soon. After trying 5 alternative approaches to converting this image, a B&W layer placed under a B&W gradient map was undoubtedly the the most flexible and provided the best results. So here is the result.
Gente, amei o azulzinho da Hello Kitty, mas depois de um tempo, achei que estava precisando de uma firulinha, estava precisando de um UP. Aí, inspirada nesse post da Nihrida resolvi tentar. O azul que ela usou é mais claro e o roxo ela fez da metade da unha pro final. Como já estava com aquele azul, aproveitei ele, e fiz o roxinho mais pra ponta da unha, como se fosse francesinha. Não consegui captar nem 20% da beleza que ficou nas fotos. Quase não mostrou o roxinho, mas está bem visível ao vivo! Super amei!
Beijos, fiquem com Deus!

The image captures a breathtaking view from the Empire State Building at sunset, overlooking the sprawling expanse of Manhattan. The sky is ablaze with a gradient of warm hues, transitioning from deep orange near the horizon to soft purples and pinks as it meets the darkening blue above. The cityscape below is a mesmerizing grid of towering skyscrapers, their windows glinting with the last rays of sunlight.
The iconic Chrysler Building is prominently visible, its Art Deco spire shimmering in the golden light. The Hudson River to the west reflects streaks of orange and pink, contrasting with the deep shadows of the buildings lining its banks. Farther away, the Statue of Liberty can be glimpsed, faint but dignified against the glowing horizon.
The bustling energy of Manhattan is palpable even from this lofty height, with tiny dots of headlights and streetlights beginning to illuminate the streets below as the city transitions into evening. The atmosphere is both serene and electric, embodying the magic of a New York sunset.
A shot taken as the train pulled off after stopping before crossing the trestle bridge over the Waimakairi River.
It was taken from an observation car like the one immediately behind the locomotives. These are totally open and crowded with jostling photographers - something I can't see being allowed in the UK!
As we left the train at Arthur's Pass three more of these locomotives were coupled to the rear of the train to deal with the steep gradient to the west coast. This includes the Otira Tunnel that is almost 9km long. They were closing the open observation cars in preparation for this.

Not to be confused with a vector illustration, this is actually a photograph with minimal corrections (dust spot removal, no color enhancements). The crisp clear sky during sunset in the Great Smoky Mountains gave a perfect red-orange gradient on the horizon with just enough atmospheric perspective in the foothills. Nature's work of art!
Adoro gradiente pra fazer a fila andar =)

I found this lovely juvenile raft spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus) happily enjoying some sort of insect for lunch while hiding between the yet unopenend flowers of a lily.
This is the amazing view at 3:22 AM from the top of Fortune Peak in the Central Cascade Mountains of Washington State, USA. The silhouette of Mount Rainier cannot be overlooked. It is head and shoulders, or should I say head and flanks, above everything else in view at a distance of approximately 56 miles (90 kms).
This is a minimally adjusted shot, tweaking only the shadows to show what the camera sensor could see in the shadows between me and Mt. Rainier. What I found incredibly remarkable is how much this view changed on the sensor when I extended the exposure to 10 seconds instead of the 4/5 second for this show. I'll share that 10 second exposure later. It is probably more stunning. Since you have read this far, any guesses what the remarkable change could be?
