Another sunset view, taken from my window, during a stormy evening, the sky was really marvelous this time...
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!
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.

NGC 6939, discovered by William Herschel, is quite old for an Open Cluster, between 1 and 1.3 billion years. It also lies about 400 parsecs above the galactic plane, a little unusual for Open Clusters as they are usually within the plane of the galaxy, hence the alternative name of Galactic Clusters.
NGC 6946 (also discovered by William Herschel) is about 25 million light years away and resides in the Virgo Supercluster. It’s known as the Fireworks Galaxy because it seems to be a hive of supernovae; ten have been observed in the 20th and 21st centuries alone. This is about 10 times the rate observed in our own galaxy, even though the Milky Way has twice as many stars. In fact more supernovae have been observed in this galaxy than any other.
During 2009, a bright star within NGC 6946 flared up over several months to become over one million times as bright as the Sun. Shortly thereafter it faded rapidly. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope suggest that the star did not survive, although there remains some infrared emission from its position. This is thought to come from debris falling onto a black hole that formed when the star died. This potential black hole-forming star is designated N6946-BH1. The progenitor is believed to have been a yellow hypergiant star.

This was the morning we were going to arrive at the harbor in Sakaiminato, Japan. This is also where we traveled by bus to get to the Shogun castle in Matsue.
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.

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.

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.
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!

Vertical panorama of the sunset at Sandy Point in Maryland, the photo still does not do the sunset justice!
This chair was stationed in front of a window in an abandoned farmhouse in the middle of a wheat field. While I suspect the chair was well used in the days when the house was occupied, it has been sitting unused for many years. Current occupants of the house are pigeons and rats.

Olá, meninas!
Fiz esse degradê com a técnica do esponjado já mostrado aqui por várias meninas. Fiz outras vezes, mas só agora consegui registrar.
Como base usei o Mint Candy. E para o degradê foram usados três esmaltes: Misturinha Verde (ganhei da Claudinha), Dirty, Sexy, Money e o Mint Candy. No anelar fiz invertido. Para finalizar passei o Hefesto e top coat.
O Sol resolveu dar o ar da graça, timidamente e já me aproveitei dele...rs...
Um beijo e uma ótima semana!
