Taken from a bridge over the M40 motorway outside oxford. Chose the spot because of an absence of motorway lighting, and the curve of the road. It was freezing cold and windy as hell when I was taking the shot, but it was fun. Lit completely with ambient headlights.

Taken out of the window of a train outside Totness at around 100mph. Motion of me relative to train tracks was minimal, but motion relative to background was high, blurring the background nicely but leaving a nice sharp pair of tracks.

Thanks Pandya for the photos you posted and the explanation. Do you remember your shooting settings? Did you touch the images using any software?

Some of those are cool but most of the still scenes with moving vehicles or humans just look like crappy shots. Like why are there people blurred at the fruit stand or the water slide? Clearly the objects in motion weren't the focus (no pun intended) of those shots. And some just don't make sense. Like the first one. The building was moving on him? In both directions?

Yeah. The light trails on the motorway was shot with an EOS40D and a 17-40L lens at 17mm, ISO100, f/4 and a 25 second shutter. The train tracks was shot with the same equipment, ISO100, 17mm, f/8 and 1/25th second shutter. Some minor post work was done on both images to tidy them up, as I do with all my shots, but effects of motion blur were entirely done with the equipment, not in photoshop. Black and white conversion was done in Photoshop on the train tracks.

rashikaviani - no, most of them are not done in photoshop. It's what happens when you have a camera shutter open for an extended amount of time.

Those 45 photo's are just amazing though!

Nice. Can you share the settings you used?

That looks strangely like one of mine:

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
