I used to live downriver from there, or was it upriver?  Lived between it and York in York Haven

That was taken a bit downriver from York Haven from the observation point at Rocky Ridge County Park.

So I've never owned a good camera but always fancied trying out photography. I got a Lumia 1020 in February and on Tuesday we had some lovely weather so took a trip with some friends and tried my hand at using Pro Cam on it. I literally know nothing about photography but even knowing nothing about it and just randomly swiping settings till it looked nice I found myself getting quite relaxed and I found that I enjoyed my day a lot more because of it. Think I'll end up buying a DSLR soon, even if I never learn to use it properly it was just such a nice and relaxing experience :)! So here's a couple of pictures I took, nothing impressive and I couldn't tell you anything about them since, like I said, I was just swiping things randomly :P

This one was taken out of a car going at 45mph, thought it would have turned out really blurry but was surprised by how sharp it was!

Took this today while waking around. First time I've done a HDR exposure. It was hand held and not on a tripod so may not be as sharp as it could be. Any feedback would be appreciated. Full size on link.

Looks pretty good, and not overblown like some HDRs. The colors pop just enough to look natural, but not too much to seem overprocessed. Does your camera have an HDR mode, or are you manually creating the HDR via something like Photoshop?

Thanks beanboy!  :D

 

I use a 6D. It has a HDR mode but only in JPEG. I did this with 3 exposures 2 stop difference and processed in lightroom 5 with enfuse so I used the RAWs manually. I've seen a lot of HDR shots. Some really good and some that have an otherworldly CGI kind of look. I was trying to avoid that and try and bring out what was there as much as I could.

 

Looking at it now after a day I think the greens are a little saturated. Obviously I need to use a tripod looking at the tree in the foreground. I might get a cheap one just to keep in my car all the time as well as my heavier one that I would take out when I'm going with photography in mind. 

 

Any advice you might offer?

I forgot other people are in this area as well!

 

I grew up in TMI's shadow... Crazy to think about that accident.

My first attempt at a sunset HDR. Shot with bracketing on the Nokia Camera.

Yeah my wife, and her family have a cabin on the island behind Three Mile Island.   I've posted pictures of TMI from there on here before. It's so odd when the steam stops. 

 

Wow. That's close. Those islands were always nice to visit for a day trip of fishing and kayaking, though.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
