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!

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^ :)

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...

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

    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
