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.
A bit of a gradient and a policy of turning off the smoke and steam in Berwyn Tunnel ensures a good display from the locomotives on the approach. The carriage lights are on ready for the darkness. This view is from the lower slopes of Llantysilio Mountain which provided a very cosy spot to eat my butty and wait for 7822 Foxcote Manor to appear with the suburban set in tow. This was the second of its three non-stop trip to Carrog - all three were on schedule!
Kirkjufell, near Grundafjordur, Iceland.
I took this image shortly after 430 or so on one clearish dawn on Snaefellsness peninsula. The lighting was striking for a transition between red and blue across the horizon. The rocky beach on the coast is beautiful in the still morning air. I tried to capture the gradient (enhanced with a colour gradient layer) and the triangles in the scene from rock to reflection to mountain to cloud. Broke the rule of thirds but hey, I wasn't fussed this time.
Oi queridas! Como estão?
Hoje aproveitei o lindo esmalte Fascínio Violeta da Jade para fazer uma gradiente holográfica inspirada neste post da Kelly no blog Esmaltes da Kelly.
Pela primeira vez depois de muito tempo postarei fotos da minha mão esquerda porque achei que a gradiente ficou mais bonita que a outra mão...rs. Mesmo assim também postarei as fotos da mão direita porque gosto delas! Rs (para quem não sabe sou canhota, por isso sempre posto fotos da mão direita).

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

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.

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.
Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2009.
The bow of Gods appeared, with its colorful hue, in memory of the recent rain shower.
So, come out of home and play with that spectrum.....
Of thousand joy and happiness.
Captured from Aminbazar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. There was a 3/4 minutes drizzle, while I took shelter under a dense canopied tree. The sun was on west and yet to set. I saw this rainbow appearing in front of my eyes and looked with wonder for a moment. Then my photographer self screamed...."Shoot!". I looked for some suitable subjects to match with this ephemeral rainbow, and I found them with the football. After a few try, I got what I wanted. Shortly after, this rainbow vanished. My pensive mind cleared of every speck of sadness after I took this shot.
Photography, I love you.
