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:

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
