Neowin Digital Gallery - Yearly Edition 2013


Recommended Posts

Now that mention it, a lot of the regulars disappeared, crazyy8s, moonman, dejon... :/

I had made an active decision to stop posting in the Neowin Digital Gallery. I found issue with the fact that people would post images of scantily dressed women (which is fine), and that some of the users would follow with undignified comments that I felt did not belong on a forum in which art, ideas and critique were shared. I brought up the issue and nobody seemed to feel the same way, so I decided to stop sharing my images.

It has been quite some time since then, and with odd timing related to Guppy's post, about two weeks ago I decided to start posting here again. Since I "left" the Digital Gallery, I've started working a full time job and I'm 3/5 done with my MBA; as such, free time for photography is quite limited.

-------------

Now, for the image I came to post!

Does anybody know what this is? I shot it about 2 months back during a meteor shower. It looks like a galaxy to me, but I'm not quite sure. The 4 exposures range in time from 6-30 seconds.

Surely is doesn't matter what people post does it?

You post your photos for feedback and can skip past the daft comments / photos :)

How did you catch such a detailed photo of space? It does look like a galaxy

Sure does look like a galaxy, or at least a nebula!

Of course it matters what other people post. The whole reason for coming to this community is because of what other people post.

Nikon D90, 28mm f1.8 @ f1.8 and 6-30 seconds. I went out to an uninhabited area in the SF Bay area (click the image to view the map on flickr for the exact location) that is about as dark as you can get in the area.

I was shooting for meteors, but got this instead. I guess I'm happy with it, though!

just for the guppy.

Well i'll admit, I spam "id hit that" any where and everywhere, followed by a serious comment though :p Seriously crazzy, even @ dpreview, you get lots of horny instagramers :/ ! You do have a point though, but why quit posting on childish posts? there are ignore buttons you know!

Might wanna lay off capturing other galaxies or they might take you!!! Nice catch! I would've just discarded it as shutter blur or something alike. !

Ps and the same goes for you, STAY back :p

A few from today:

6 minute exposure^

Those are beautiful ! the first and third one, what lens?!

Cheers! I used the 17-40 L mostly at around 22mm as UWA + ND Grad holder = Not usable at the wide end :p

I've been tryin to get some night shots of the starts. I can't get the iso and shutter time right, but eventually i'll get there.

i had to tweak this one in photoshop (mostly blurred it to get rid of the noise),

also some of the stars are streaking, this is due to the shutter time being too long. i think it was maybe 15-20 sec in this pic.

Not that bad! Welcome to the digital gallery. Could've curtain synced the stop sign to light it up a bit.

thanks. no idea what you mean by "curtain synced" though, but i'll look it up :p

I usually just take random pictures of whatever i see that i think looks cool.

I've done some portraits for people that i may post on my s ite, not sure, but some of the other pictures i've taken can be found here

http://www.joshx.com...ry/photography/

nothing major or awesome though, just a hobby.

Wow! Modesty apart? This is far from NOT awesome:

Pretty cool! The output is pretty awesome, but pretty time consuming!

:D It was minus 2 degrees that morning so I felt worse standing there taking many many shots lol. Need to keep moving to keep semi-warm!

Would you believe me if i told you that photo was taken with cheap Walmart $50 blackfriday kodak camera?

I recently got a Canon t2i, so i can take more complex photos though. I know its not super pro, but it works. For example the night pictures.

But i still like to use cheap cameras for some shots.

thanks :D

No, I wouldn't! pretty amazing shot

Just proves http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm this guy has a point ;) He has pretty good basic articles, just don't read his equipment reviews, he biases them according to how he feels that day, one day it's canon, the next it's nikon and then back to canon... But again, his begginer "guides" are a good starting point.

Wow, I'd love to live somewhere we got those temps... in the tropics I think 3-5 celsius nasty humid,moist,watery is all we get :p

Couple of shots from december taken with work camera (Canon somemodel, shockproof and waterproof)

Makeshift flash ( iphone 4s :p ) I'm guessing that's the weird color cast. 8412851366_52ede097e9_h.jpg

My 9-10 year old mutt ! Healthy lazy fat ass queen! My girl calls here a "watermelon with chopsticks for feet". Canela! I love her dearly! :D

My best half improvising with a crappy Samsung NV15 with touch buttons ( well crappy for night time shots without flash anyway...). trying to get artistics with a dozen dozen roses I gave her for her BD.

This one is for teh lulz... what is out of place ? :p

Shutter 1/50 ftw, man 50 mm sure makes big noses if you focus inadequately.. Was fooling around anyway !

Tequila and ranch dressing?!?!

And man... No offense but that water mark is too obtrusive! It distracts from the image.

BRACE YOURSELVES. The watermark war is returning!

    • Exciting! It’s amazing how hearing Japanese can naturally enhance the perceived quality of any experience or product.
    • Your other comment in another article says otherwise, namely "Microsoft veteran wants to replace every single line of C/C++ code with Rust and AI".
    • Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.
