Edit:

MI6 labs: Like the first and the last, but a bit more saturation/vibrance on the ball wouldn't hurt :)

@Jman: Love that cow-looking-thingy :p with no eyes :|

@ Bubba: I think I like your little kid better :p I mean don't get wrong in a pedo kinda way, but the dude has style :)

@MrChuang: idem! :p Amazing night shot I love the how you can see the colors in the water ripples

Brad that first one is very nice! Very good colors ! :)

I was browsing through your flickr this window has very good potential for some nice HDRs :p

Thank you!

I know right, I'm currently looking at a load of tutorials for HDR work, gonna give it a go soon. There's a bunch of pics from the collection that'd suit HDR.

Wouldn't say it's necessarily a fad, granted a lot of people like to overdo the processing a bit, to the point where it looks like it came out of a game of some sort, but it can be useful. I guess it's another one of those cases where it works best when you don't even realise someone's done it.

@Diffused Mind - Love this colours in this one, really warm red/yellows. HDR shot of this would look amazing. ;)

That was my favorite part about the photo too. What it lacks in composition it makes up tenfold in vibrance. Also shows that the D200 is no slouch.

Thanks guys! :)

Been so busy with school this week and last and havn't had time to post anything new or comment on photos. From oldest (top) to newest (bottom) feedback on every post

@Bubbabyte, 5th One is my favorite. Those two youngsters are beautiful for portraits, well done!

@o0moonman0o, Honestly every one of your photos has amazing clarity, focus, and color. Always enjoy popping by here and your flickr to see them

@+MI6Labs, 2nd and 3rd are great. Any butterfly macro's are brilliant!

@+JMann, My favorite would have to be the 5th one for its sharpness, color, and because its a Panorama. Great landscape it looks to be their, nice work!

@moloko, Model is beautiful, Lighting from strobe (I presume) it perfect (especially because its based around the center), and the pink is vivid :)

Next series of shots

@o0moonman0o, Second is beautiful, Love the rainbow and scenery at Niagara Falls! and that 3rd one is simply amazing! I would love to be able to find gardens like that around Brisbane because its so beautiful!

@Draconian Guppy, Wish we had Wendy's in Australia. Color and tone is great

@+Brad. The Grafitti ones are awesome because the sparkles looks like flashes from the camera ;)

@Draconian Guppy, Looks tastey

@goodcase, B&W went really well here. All the shots are supurb though 8th one if my favorite due to the composition of the ladies :)

@Diffused Mind™, Color in that sunset is incredible. Captured really well mate, good work!

@Draconian Guppy, The first eye macro is great! The color in the eye would make this work especially well for a HDR. Maybe a little less light around and either focus further into iris of crop it so their is a little less skin around the eyeball. Otherwise great work!

@crazzy88ss, Nice capture, gotta love that fast shutter.

Well onto some new ones from me :) A bit different from the usual though I wanted something more creative

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.
    • Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
