Taken with my old ass fuji mx-1200. :camera:

Whoa!We don't get insects that big around here, unless you count those insects that come out every so many years. Nice pic (Y)

no...i think if we have similar canons then the photostitch would be the same. i just stood in one place. the lcd splits to show the previous shot and then you can decide how to do the next shot. you have to overlap your shots so that it'll put the pix together correctly. the pic i posted was made from i think 8 or 10 individual shots because i did a lot overlapping.

Did you use a tripod?

Now either those stuffed animals are going to get eaten by that dog, or they are the dogs best friends and are being guarded!

Did you use a tripod?

no, i don't have a tripod. should i get one? they talked about them on call for help today...the guy had this itty bitty one and another one that was small but the legs telescoped out.....does anyone here have a tripod?

all pics were taken with my Canon Elph S400. and touched up in photoshop

click for panoramic of Monterey Bay <~2.2MB

still havent figured out how to get rid of the stitch lines. anybody have some pointers?

no, i don't have a tripod. should i get one? they talked about them on call for help today...the guy had this itty bitty one and another one that was small but the legs telescoped out.....does anyone here have a tripod?

Wow, you didn't have a tripod when you took the panoramic? That's an excellent job then. Steady hands! I would definitely get one. I have a small one for the macro photos. I want a bigger one with the telescopic legs for outside shots. It's just useful if you need to keep your camera steady during a shot. It should improve the sharpness.

And a panoramic should be easy since you just swivel the camera, and it stays at the same height when it is on the tripod. The tripods have levels on them so you have the camera level too.

They aren't expensive and they are compact if you get a telescopic one.

    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
