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.

Very useful. If you are going to implement please share your results!

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.

Here's my best efforts... they were all taken on a normal ?70 point and shoot digital camera with no special features...

the one of big ben and the red bus, i actually used someones head as a tripod lol....

cant get hold of originals at the moment which are a lot better quality... not bad for an amateur tho ay? lol

Those 45 photo's are just amazing though!

Nice. Can you share the settings you used?

That looks strangely like one of mine:

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
