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.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
