Anaron: I think a big thing to consider is that nearly every photo you take is going to need at least some post-processing - I shoot in RAW+JPEG, so I have the option of having a quick version for sending to people if I need to, but if I really like a picture I'll import the RAW into Photoshop and play with the temperature, exposure and, importantly, the sharpness settings. Zoom to 100% (actual pixel size) and slowly increase the sharpness until you get a result you're happy with. You will also find that simply decreasing the resolution of pictures from 4272 x 2848 to something more manageable (especially for web) will tend to make the sharpness a bit less of an issue.

Hmm I'm not sure what else to say...always shoot in the 'Creative' modes (P, Tv, Av, M) rather than the auto ones, use a tripod where possible, don't always use the flash - especially for close-up photos, don't be afraid to take a lot of photos of the same thing and select the good ones when you're at the PC where you can see the photos better.

I haven't had the camera long and it's my first DSLR - luckily not long after I got it I was in Cornwall for 2 weeks with little to do so I made a point of learning all about the camera, taking lots of pictures and reading some photography magazines. Best advice I can give is just to keep practising really, take lots of photos, mess around with the settings etc.

JMann: I asked my mum where she picked it up and she can't remember exactly, she thinks it might have been from TK Maxx a few years ago - but they change round their stock all the time so I wouldn't think they carry it anymore. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Wow, that's wonderful advice. Thanks!

Wow, sharpening my pictures makes it look so much better. By the way, it'd be nice if people could post what camera they used to take the picture. The lens would be great too.

A couple of shots of tonight's sunset. As always with 50 f1.4 lens. Still not as spectacular in real life as the one I saw the other day. Will upload a couple of more tomorrow maybe.

Getting a 18-200 VR at the end of this week. Finally will be able to shoot some wides. Will most likely also get a 70-200 f2.8 later this year for some lowlight zooms.

Long Time No Post.

I've been sick the past while and unable to shoot as much as id like. But it was my buddies birthday today and thus i felt the need to bust out the camera. This was just in my backyard as we were waiting for another friend to get off work before we could start the fun.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
    • Zen Browser 1.21b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
