The Neowin Digital Photo Gallery


Recommended Posts

Well, I got my Nikon D70 a few weeks ago, and these are probably my favourite shots so far. They were all taken with the 18-70mm kit lens. Shot in JPG, because I don't like the idea of having to post-process every image I get out of my camera, even if it's just leaving it alone to batch process them.

The only "manipulation" has been some USM on all three and a slight white-balance correction on the bee photo.

I couldn't believe how well this picture turned out - it's almost a 100% crop.

This photo was taken with a bird behind me, and my cat was "growling" at it. Could've maybe used a greater depth of field, but I can't believe how sharp this shot is. Slightly blown out highlight on the fur, but I don't think it detracts from the image.

I was out one night taking shots of the moon, and just before I came in, I took this shot, not expecting anything, just taking it because I could. (don't you just love digital?)

Wish I had checked it before I went in because I would have loved to get a full shot instead of just the roof. The colours are exactly as I saw them that night.

Unfortunately the sky looks a bit posterized thanks to the extra jpeg compression for the web.

Strange time to read this thread considering i've just been doing that very thing in Photoshop.

All I do is select around everything I don't want to be in colour using the selection tool in Photoshop, and then just desaturate those areas. Job done.

Quick example:

how do you get a bwpicture with some color into it? like a bw background and an object with it's color?

its actually quite easy with photoshop, just switch to CMYK image mode (IMPORTANT!!), then select whatever you want to color (i use the polygonal lasso tool), make it a quickmask and apply a very light gaussian blur to smooth your edges a bit, then un-quickmask it. then go image>adjustment>curves and modify the line to create the color you want.

quite simple, just save each of your selections so you can go back and change the color again if you dislike it later

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nikon D70. :) I had the same reaction when I first started taking pics with my D70.

I have a powershot a60, I love taking pics, editing and etc.. but I never really go anywhere, so I can't really do much photography, plus the camera kinda sucks, I usually just take macroshots of flowers, and see how they come out, I still don't understand the manual settings, and yeah ok im done..

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
