Welcome to the Neowin photo gallery! Here you can post your pictures and discuss your photography techniques.

Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pics and the size of the files to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers. Please refrain from quoting images in your replies.

I will also ask that you link to images on your own space, as much as possible.

Try to put more details from your camera settings and also talk about what you have done with photoshop.

There are a lot of photographers here that like your editing skills and would like to learn more.

The previous thread can be found here.

Thanks!

Callum M-R - awesome shot! flash is a bit harsh and strong, but I like it!

Thank you :) I realized when I took it how washed out her face was from the flash, but I couldn't get another shot I was as pleased with. I'll probably try an actual shoot with her and see if I can get something better. But yeah, thank you very much.

Taken with 50mm/1.4 lens (75mm on fullframe) without a tripod from a ledge of a balcony. Didn't have enough sky room to work with so I didn't take a lot of photos in the end.

Simply amazing.. if I could only grasp how to get sharp images like that at night.. I would be set!! STILL AMAZING SHOTS ANDRE!!

- Tipod or something that will steady your camera.

- Manual mode. You might want to try Aperture/Shutter priority mode as well, but it's better to control everything yourself. Auto mode is pretty much useless here.

- Lowest ISO possible to avoid as much noise as possible.

- Slow shutter speed/long exposure. A couple of second up to 10 or more. Depends on the situation really. My last one was 30 seconds for example (should have put it a little bit down there :/ ). It's a matter of taking a couple of photos to find what's the best exposure.

- Proper aperture to get everything sharp and in focus. I shot mine at f/7.1. Also when you shoot night landscape or anything similar that doesn't have anything near to be in focus, then put the lens in manual focus mode and set it to infinity. Having the camera focus on it's own at night is rather difficult and useless. And if it will focus, it will be at infinity anyway. Of course this doesn't apply if you are shooting a person that stands a couple of feet from you.

- A lens with maximum aperture of 2.8 or more (read less - smaller number). For example 50mm/1.8 (quite cheap), 20mm/2.8 etc. Most of them are pricey, but you get what you pay for.

O_o

crazy is right.

i think its worth reading your post again. i think you said 75mm on a full frame which is incorrect, its truly 50mm on a full frame and only 75mm on a cropped sensor.

I know he is right and I know that I am right. I am aware of crop factors. Just the way I said it seemed wrong. What I meant is that the photos taken with this lens are equivalent of 75mm on FF. o_O

So you're saying it'd take a 75mm lens on a FF to make the equivalent of the shots you took?

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
