Well, here's my first "contribution" to any photography thread on Neowin. :p I did a little photoshoot with one of my friends back in December to enter into a local competition for an upcoming exhibition entitled "LGBT Life in Plymouth Past and Present". Heard back from the organiser this morning; didn't win the competition (the winner gets ?250), but some of my entries are gonna be included in the exhibition, so it's not all bad. :) I haven't been told which ones are being used yet, but here's a few of the shots I submitted...

All of the shots were taken with a Nikon D40 rented out by my friend from the art college we shot outside. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them. :)

A few shots from my new camera.

I'd say that some of them are good, the last one is probably the best in terms of composition, but too much of the background is in focus. Using a lower aperture would help here, are you able to rent out a 50mm f/1.8? That'd probably be a better lens for you to use.

Something just seems off about this picture. Not sure what it is. Maybe the fact that I used a lens cap and the ground as a tripod.

Awesome shots. I like 3rd and 4th pictures.

I have not taken pictures for awhile, too. There is a car show coming up this weekend in my town. There will be a lot of 'custom made' and new cars at the show in my town. I hope they have some futuric cars there. Maybe some cars from the movies or shows such as Dukes of Hazzard.

I really want to take pictures of futuric cars like those cars above (3rd and 4th pics).

Good job.

    • Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.
    • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
