Yeah I use filters sometimes depends on what I take picture of.

 

Black and white photos are great! I like B&W photos.

Really really like this... I tried to do some firework photography a while back without trying to actually read anything and went the complete wrong way and was trying far too fast shutter speeds and wondering why it didnt work. This is a fine example of how to do it properly and also helpful because you've posted the settings too.

Great example of how sticking the horizon dead centre can work, composition is spot on. Literally cannot praise this enough :)

 

Cheers Skiver, really appreciate the kind comments :)

 

Now that I've done a few fireworks displays, my advice would be to plan it out well in advance. Personally I like to pick a spot that shows something recognisable in the local area (as opposed to a generic fireworks shot that could have been taken anywhere).

 

Here's another from the same evening:

Got a new lens - Olympus 9mm f/8.0 Fisheye Body Cap Lens. Was still playing around with it in the last picture and got the focus all messed up, so I decided to not throw the picture out, but try to give it some character. Tried to make it look like it was taken with an old pinhole camera.

    • Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
    • Dude get a clue, LTSC is Enterprise, not even legal for consumers, and ESU is not mainstream support cycle, just an extended security updates period.
    • Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.
