I've got a bunch of shots that I can upload...but I haven't had time to go collect them all off my HD's. This shot is one that I took at the Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France while I was there for 2 weeks working (yes getting paid to have fun and sight see) for the Army driving generals around in France. Only thing done to it was adjust contrast, as well as process into an HDR image from 3 shots. I liked the look, made it look old and weathered, and the cross just stands out. I will post more shots later after I find them and get them uploaded. There were 307 graves out of 9387 there just like this...goes to show you how costly some wars are...they can't even identify every body. Truely sad.

Those a gorgeous photos. I especially love the ocean shot :yes:

How much did your camera cost? The cheapest I've found it is $1700 :|

I got it for 1500 on ebay....there are deals around you just gotta search for them...alot of retailers sold it for 1700, but i kept looking and was able to snag a brand new one on ebay for around 1500. THe camera was by far not the most expensive piece lol.

When I got started, i bought a D1 (the first pro body digital camera by nikon...it cost me a nice 5000$ :) lol lenses are by far the most expensive....I've probably gone through about 10,000$ or more worth of gear from when i first got into it.

Thanks for the compliments guys. :)

Great shots metro that place looks lovely the colours are fantastic and really life like.

You did a good job or hand held I think it would be a fantastic place to visit when you know there is going to be some fog in the early morning thats if you can make yourself get up that early.

I have really started to experiment with white balance even though I shoot in RAW. I have been changing up a lot of what I do lately like not using HDR very much. For all of my shots I was working with custom white balance calculated from the scene. I am trying my best to get in right in camera with very little post processing needed. Here before long I will start experimenting with neutral density and graduated neutral density filters as an alternative to HDR. A good example of what you can do with just some ND and GND filters would be the work of Marc Adamus.

I hate you metro. Where the HELL do you find these places. There's jack **** for scenery around here :(

All of the places I have shot are within a 3 hour drive, mostly an hour or less for most places. I am lucky to live where I do.

metro you might want to invest in a hand held light meter, like a good sekonic (358 or 558 are very good, i own the 358) you can get attachments like spot meter cones to go on it to allow you to get very precise exposure information for you scene, thus letting you set your cameras settings to get the shot right the first time in camera without requiring much post processing. I find when shooting people with a nikon i tend to have to over expose 0.3 - 0.7 to get skin tones right, but its different for each shot.... If you meter with a handheld you'll get much better first time shots.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
