Neowin Bi-weekly Photography Assignment 1: Light


Recommended Posts

Hmm, point taken.

Thing is, if this is to happen every 2 weeks, I'd like to give a full weeks notice to get your votes in, you can wait till a day prior if you so wish - but this is just a way to get everyone to make sure their entries are in early, and on time!

I'll think about other ways I can do this though.

It's simple.

Have assignment A end on the 20th. The thread is locked and nobody can add pictures to it. Voting will go to the 27th.

Have assignment B start on the 21st. People can post their new assignment pictures to that thread.

I also think this to be the best solution; many websites have used this strategy to host contests with great success.

Also, what are the limits on post-processing?(photoshopping)?

None as long as you have an original raw file. Make a composite if you like!

Perfect.

I'll update the original post with this information.

I was thinking... this is a great idea! But it failed last time because of members lack of control over it... I'm not sure how well neowin would like this idea, but why not set up a seperate site for these kind of competitions? So that you can make a system for people to submit entries and vote etc..

It's early days, I'm willing to alter and change the process of the assignment to suit the needs of the majority of people taking part!

I think it's less of a competition, and more of a collaboration of ideas, I just want to push people to be more creative and learn more technically to better the quality of input into the assignment!

Is there a way to replicate that effect using a point and shoot camera? or is there a way to replicate it using photoshop?

I love it.

Thanks! it's quite easy, just have a high iso with low shutter speed and experiment :)

High ISO on a compact though might be a problem as you get lots of noise :(

Are we still allowed to submit? Not sure when the deadline is.

Nevermind.

However are we allowed to link to images? As My image exceeds 800px in width.

What should i do maccy?

:)

You could always resize it using a program such as irfanview or photoshop.

Couple of choices, you can link me via PM and I'll re-link you with a re-sized version if you'd like.

Or you could upload to Flickr yourself and choose a different resolution, otherwise you could try resizing yourself

Deadline in 11 hours 30 min!

12am GMT

Voting will continue till 29th, new assignment will be posted once this contest deadline arrives.

Had more submissions for numero uno than I imagined! Good work folks, some really astounding shots. Hopefully the new topic will be a little less boring for you all!

Actually,

That would be 1 second before noon :p

Oof! I was a little specific on that time, wasn't I, ha ha.

I'll happily allow pictures a little while past the deadline, but once the thread is locked ready for voting, there's nothing else I can do!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
