Neowin Digital Gallery - Yearly Edition 2013


Recommended Posts

Okay, nevermind the rest of Neowin, this is my new favorite thread.

 

I just got home from vacation. Holy crap did I miss out on not bringing my camera with me to Oklahoma. Maybe it's just that everything is different that makes so many photo opportunities stand out to me, but I couldn't stop finding things I wished I had my camera for. I didn't want to risk damaging it though since I don't have a specific camera bag still.

 

Anyway, I got this one the other night. My friend wanted to go to his storage unit and I remembered it had a big open field next to it. I grabbed my camera and we headed out and I wasn't disappointed. Now, I don't feel like I captured everything nearly as well as I could have, but I took a big variety of shots to see what looked best. I'm still learning.

 

This shot was one of my favorites:

Also everyone, don't forget to add your photos to the Flickr Group. I see a lot of people posting here, but not adding the photos to the Flickr group :(

I've never used groups, i'll give it a go later:

Bad, bad panda!

Come on. We want photos. Flickr is down for panda planned maintenance. We'll be back with the usual photo goodness at about 6 AM . Follow us on Twitter or our blog for updates

Seems your post is broken since Flickr is down haha :P

 

Using groups is probably the best way to get your photos seen, there are groups for everything such as camera make/model and other communities. I tend to add mine to these.

Since we post images here... I'm honestly not sure what the point of the flickr group is!

The uploader on Flickr was down yesterday, so I had to use the "old" one where you manually select each image and can only do 6 at a time.  Took forever!

Bitter crazzy is bitter ? :P

Epic bear shots!

 

 

Uhh... no?  Everybody posts the pics here... so why have a duplication of it?  It just fragments the community.

 

I usually visit here first then going to other sites ... which is more easier for all of us to post pics on here instead of jumping from here to there to take at the pics. 

 

I don't use groups though.  Besides, I have a small gallery on my Flickr account... I have not been out taking photos yet.

Epic bear shots!

Yeah it kinda makes sense. Though I think the more, the merrier so :P

    • 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.

    • 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.
