Neowin Digital Gallery - Yearly Edition 2013


Recommended Posts

One of my first photos that I took with my new Canon 480EX II flash- my first external flash. So far, I love it- having the option to bounce off of the ceiling is very handy.

i'm a sucker for kitteh photos!

testing out d800e and 28 afs :D

I bet.. If i were to take a pictures of you in that same moment, you'd be bokehed! ( pronunced boke'd :p)

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 found something to do with my lunch break before my next lecture :p The reason I chose portrait was for the effect of the tracks being drawn out, leading off into the distance.

Also mrk, was that the actual wedding venue? That's fantastic!

I am not a professionnal, nor good, photographer in any way. But here is my contribution, taken by my other half with a Canon EOS 600 and a Sigma 18-200 lens, when bringing back my new bike home. Then just had a play with Photoshop for the color / b&w effect.

That's brilliant, really captures the essence of speed, but the BW effect detracts a little (Mainly making it look too unrealistic). Could you post the colour version for comparison?

Thanks mate !

Of course, here it is, untouched at all.

Agree the color one looks so much better.

Also to add a bit, dead centering subjects, does work sometimes, but usually, you try to frame 2/3rd to center

@ Moon, I dare ya, post a picture of yourself completely in focus! You can't! ( I know I know, I browse your flickr, but neowin hasn't :shifty: ).

Obligatory dog photo! King God I mean, Dog, Zeus! Poorly focused! But man, I swear he talks, I woke him up for the photo and he mumbled and woo'd and howled and groaned like "seriously, you woke me up to shine a light in my face?" (AF assit beam)

I just want to see this section of the forum active again. I'm thinking of other ideas for this already. :)

I can't wait til summer, or at least spring time so i can test my camera more. Everything is so dead and dark during the winter. No life, no fun.

but this was cool, although i wish it was all in focus.

Dude your avatar is creeeeeeeeeeeeepy! "chilly" photo :p You could've underexposed a bit, as the bright sky blew the details and focus i'm guessing.

@guppy thats a beagle.

Captain obvious, I meant if it's a character of some sort.

Finally ! :p There's several people that have fled this forum because of inactivity. We tried a monthly competition, but the judge ( Mac.) went missing.

I'm thinking of starting up the monthly competitions again, with a set theme to follow. I'm going to see if some more of the staff are willing to jump on board for judging.

I just found this place! How's this for a first submission? I only have access to the low-res version from work, but it was taken with two external flashes setup for rim lighting, fired wirelessly with a Pocket Wizard. I didn't do the makeup. :)

Welcome to neowin... wait, what? you're a news editor! Never browse the forum huh? :p

Creepy photo, on the critique, Would've focused/lit the face to see the make up, which is pretty good!

I deserve that. :lol: I browser the forums when I have time, but just never noticed the photography forum (maybe because it's called "Camera?")

I had some where the face was lit, but that took away from the creepiness of the shot, so I didn't use those. Here's the complete set on Flickr:

    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
