I love taking pics and all but there is no chance in hell i would ever take my camera into a bar or restaurant and take photos. As a matter of fact anywhere I have ever gone I have never seen anyone else doing it either (other than girls with little cameras taking pics for their myspace). It's just not normal haha. The photos turn out nice but it's just strange to me.

are those with the 50mm?

are you using a tripod? o_O i know the 1.8 is good for low lighting but i didn't think it was THAT good :p

yes they are with the 50mm.. except the outside shots which was using wide angle of the kit lens. And no i wasn't using a tripod.. i certainly would have looked odd carrying a tripod into the restaurant..lol

Actually it is quite normal. I did feel a bit odd at first, but as soon as the waitress came to the table, she asked "Got a new camera i guess" and of course i said yeah and she replied by telling me that alot of people actually bring cameras in here and that she just recently purchased an SLR..lol Not to mention that all the while we were there, there were several other people using cameras as well, as i could tell by the flash. I did not use a flash however, as to not bring too much attention to myself..lol But apparently it is quite common, even though you may not feel it's normal.

nice shots everyone.

where has saxondale (sp?) been? i miss his shots :(

he's in China apparently. check out his flickr. he's got some china pics there :D

oh and that's a pretty sexy external giga. <napoleon dynamite>luckyyyyyyyyyy!</napoleon dynamite>

yeah i hate the cold too... today was a bit nice though as you can see some of the snow had melted. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit warmer too so i'm thinking of venturing to niagara falls to try to get some nice pics.. :p

thanks for the compliments guys.. i love the shallow dof look.. can't get enough of it. This 50mm f/1.8 lens still has me baffled sometimes.. it seems the pics either come out really good or totally out of focus. As for settings, i mainly keep it on AV mode to control aperture.. if you check out my flickr account you can view the exif info for the pics.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I'm currently in China - Beijing at the moment. I'm here for a month and then going to Shanghai for 5 months. I've only just taken snaps. Been far too busy. So i don't have anything special to show:

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
