Welcome to the Neowin photo gallery! Here you can post your pictures and discuss your photography techniques.

Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pics and the size of the files to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers. Please refrain from quoting images in your replies.

I will also ask that you link to images on your own space, as much as possible.

Try to put more details from your camera settings and also talk about what you have done with photoshop.

There are a lot of photographers here that like your editing skills and would like to learn more.

The previous thread can be found here.

Thanks!

Some recent photos. The first two were taken with a Panasonic Lumix TZ5, as I had no SLR on me at the time. The photo of the beach has been touched up slightly in Photoshop, removing some telegraph poles on the horizon, and eliminating some of the reflection from the sand at the very bottom of the shot. The portrait is untouched.

The next two were taken with a new 50D, however they were only in JPEG as I only had a 256MB Card on me at the time. The first photo has had a buoy, and a ship on the horizon removed. The second is untouched

Hope you don't mind an amateur like me posting.

Enjoy ^.^

I finally went out shooting with my cheapo Nikon 70-300mm f4-5.6 and found out it's a little too soft for my tastes on most of my shots. However, I realized afterward that the safe shutter speed for a focal length of 300mm is nooooowhere near that of one at 55mm. Plus, after the past few weeks of playing with low depths of field with indoor photography, my mind went forgot to raise the f-stops for landscape. *sigh* Oh well, at least next time I'm going to remember to think about my shots, rather than go into autopilot.

Time for a 70-200mm f2.8 VR! ;)

One time when I was still pretty newbish I went to Pinecrest Lake in California. A few days before I had been shooting in Manual mode, which was kind of new for me. I forgot to change from Manual mode to Aperture mode and I didn't figure it out until halfway into the day. 90% of those shots were wasted.

:laugh: I did that once and now I always double check. The only thing I forget these days is the ISO setting....which of course by itself can ruin photos.

I always forget to check my ISO too. I'll go take night shots at 400 or 800 ISO, then go take shots the next day and get about 50 grainy pictures before I remember. :laugh:

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
