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

 

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

Beautiful downtown Rochester, NY. 7/12/14. :)

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.

    • Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.
    • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
