The Neowin Digital Photo Gallery


Recommended Posts

Thanks Joseph, it?s really not that hard at all. I?ve been playing around for about a year now. My camera is only a cheap one but had all the manual settings which are useful. Both photos were taken with macro mode. The first I just help the camera quite low to the ground and it made the ripples seem larger.

Try putting macro mode on your camera and take a photo of an object holding the camera about 10-15cm away (maybe even closer if your camera can focus) you will be amazed at all the detail it can pick up, make sure the flash is off, if the room isn?t well lit use a desklamp to light the object.

That?s pretty much how I did the second photo.

Yes i know my computer desk is very:Dusty :D

Seeing all these water drop shots, i dug up an old one of mine ... i don't know if it has been posted here before... this thread has become so huge that i cant find it  :pinch:

This one was taken with a nikon 4500. Sold it last year.

.... Everyone, are you seeing what I'm seeing right now, that absolutely amazing picture? :omg:

Seriously, you should sell that picture.

calidude.. may I suggest upgrading your digital camera to a better quality one, and also purchasing a tripod?

I don't know if I should take offense to that or not. Being that I hardly get any income as it is, I was lucky to get this camera at all. I have $0.00 right now so I can't afford anything until I get a job... :no: Only then (and only after I pay off my credit card debts) can I even think about such things...

Sjokkel, how the hell did u get such a perfect picture?!  Do u know what shutter speed that pic was taken at?

I placed a white paper between the tab and the sink. Keep the water running. Then slowly close the tab until the stream of water is not flowing perfectly anymore. At that point you have many water drops close to eachother. You won't be able to see it with the naked eye but if you flash at it you'll see them for a fraction of a second . Shutter was 1/1000 th, but i've done this at 1/250 th since it's the flash that freezes the picture. The nikon 4500 had a great macro shot, so this was pretty easy. I have some more of these shots.

Damn, some nice images in here. I should get out more when its nice and put my camera to the test (Y)

Me too! Totally agree!

I just got my first Digital Camera. Sony DSC P200.

So cant wait to learn n hopefully take sum half decent pics.

I was in Boise, ID last week and had a great time taking pics. This is a pond, now in Veterans State Park & on a greenbelt. When I was a kid growing up there, this area was totally undeveloped and was one of my favorite swimming holes! They now keep it clean and stocked with fish. Its great the area is preserved.

Wow, nice camera for a first one huh? Jeeze my first one was a Jamcam. It was roughly 0.7mp... not even 1megapixel! Then I upgraded to 3.2, now currently at 5.1.

Happy photography learning, it's fun.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
