Why do you guys use so much vignetting? I think it takes away from the actual photograph by trying to "cover up" stuff.

I disagree. I personally use it because I think it adds to the picture. Using it effectively means using it in a way where it will draw the viewing into the focal point of the photo. It's great when you're trying to bring their focus right where you want it, to easily show the way you want the picture viewed.

For photographs where the subject is smack bang in the middle of the frame, and not using a rule of thirds for composition or similar, vignetting I find is great for drawing attention to the centre of the frame, and as such the subject. Yes, vignetting is an optical flaw, and it might seem weird to deliberately add it in when most lenses have a minimal amount, if any vignetting, but it does have a very pleasing overall effect to some images.

Well, it was the last day of school today before exams and summer break and thus nobody went to class. I took the opportunity to take some pictures. Here is one for now:

Was looking through some pics I took with my Nikon e7600 point and shoot while on vacation in B.C. with some friends from Ottawa a few years ago. Space was tight so I couldn't bring my slr, but I think these are pretty nice. And as always with me, no post processing.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
