Love the colours in your aquarium photos, giga. What post processing did you apply to your very last image to get that nice warm effect, it's very nice.

Thanks! To achieve the colors of the last one, I applied several light color overlays of orange/brown and blue. Reduced the opacity so it wouldn't drown out the image and I think changed the blending mode to soft light or so.

Oh ok. What two lenses did you use?

can't quite remember off hand.

I think I had the standard 18-55mm kit lens on normally...then possibly a 50mm one reversed.

But I couldnt find anyway of changing the aperture on that one as thats controlled by the camera electronically, so it stayed open at 1.8

these are the settings used

Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

Exposure: 1/4000 sec

Aperture: f/3.5

Focal Length: 50 mm

ISO Speed: 400

All shot in AV mode with aperture priority.

However there was alot of pp done to the last two shots due to me having incorrect settings, as you can probably tell there was no need for iso400 and the originals were really blown out, luckily i was able to save most of them in photoshop.

but otherwise moonman is right on the money, cloudy skies and snow on the ground is amazing lighting.

How'd you do that first one, tantawi?

This was in a historical castle in Alexandria, a dark path leading to an exit in noon sunlight, a bit of slow shutter + higher ISO (because it was hand held), creates this effect.

1/25 second - F/11 - 21 mm - ISO-400

I just got back from a weekend trip, and it was to Hearst Castle. Unfortunately the lighting was horrible inside, and they don't allow flash (like I need it) or tripods, so I had to shoot at 1/10-1/60 exposure to get anything to show up, hence blurry pictures as a result.

But I did happen to get some really good shots both inside and out, here is a link to all the images, since there are quite a lot of them and they might kill this topic if I posted all of them.

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By _neutrino · Posted

      Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.

      Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
