Neowin Digital Gallery - Yearly Edition 2013


Recommended Posts

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!

Where was his again? I can't see the location on Flickr.

Tequila and ranch dressing?!?!

Yeah ! :p ranch out of place! Corralejo FTW :p

I'm all for watermarks! I've seen some pretty awesome watermarks on dpreview that aren't obtrusive and add something to the image! It was just a comment, sheesh!

Where was his again? I can't see the location on Flickr.

This morning i saw this light and thought it looked cool, so i took a picture

Indeed it does look creepy!

I like the eeriness of that^ :)

One from today

Floor flushing dappers eh!?

Nice Fog!!! The bush to the left kinda distracts a bit.

I added the location a few days ago; I had forgotten :(

It's ~5 miles east of Mt. Diablo in the SF Bay area. You can see the exact location on the flickr page now.

It's the same spot I've been going to for 5+ years now.

A few from my trip to Costa Rica the other week

More in the set on flickr. Wish I would have got more but oh well... more reason to go back :).

Here's one of my favs i took last year, i dont think its too bad for a newbie, though think it wouldve been better if the nose was a bit more in focus

Puppeh love!!!! Like humans, what we try to get in focus is the eyes, not the nose, but then again, it's whatever your shooting for...

Little bit more night photography. Went to Cannock chase and did some Star photography and painting a car and bridge with torches. (Just imagine the corsa is a Zonda or something yeah? :p)

Loving this one! Though should've spot healed the torch just under the head light! Would you mind sharing what type of flashlight/torches you used and how exactly you lit the car?

Ps. kudos on making the watermark much smaller and now, even adds something to teh photo.

Can't remember If I did touch this one up? Might have lol, The torches we used were basic ones running off of AA batteries, mine cost me around ?7. Admittedly my mates had quite a good range but with two of us, 30 second exposure we got to work painting the car as such. On this photo in particular he concentrated on the car as a whole and I highlighted the wheels about 10 seconds on each then went over the outline of the car. Came out nicely by the time we decided to add the bridge(s) (we did 3 different bridges but for the first two I forgot to adjust the focus xD) into the shots we had it down to a tee.

And thanks on the watermark, Admittedly it was a little large on the light trail ones but I was proud of them :p lol

Is there really that much difference in 4mm...?

I put my 17-50mm on and zoomed between the two and couldn't tell a difference and decided that 2/3 of a stop wasn't worth ~$1500 to me at this time.

and i heard 28 afs has better bokeh anyways :D

I can see what you were going for there Blank, I decided to give it a little edit to see what I can do. What you can see from your image is that the foreground is underexposed, while the back is overexposed, a little curves editing can change that. Also maybe changing the photo from landscape to portrait, so the tracks effect works better.

I gave it a little go, made it BW because I figured it works better. I didn't have much time (The trees are a little sharp) but I think it turned out fairly well :) Hope you don't mind (I'll take it down if you wish)

The closest part of the foreground is rather uninteresting. I think a horizontal crop would be best.

Chase, I like that you took the time offer an edit for discussion!

.

I actually like the tracks more than the background :p it's what shouldn't be there if you ask me, so that makes it interesting :p

    • I'm happy with my launch XSX, however, won't mind that 25th anniversary controller to join my 20th anniverary controller! don't need it but sure do want it

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
