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..

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
