Keldyn, have you started using manual controls or are these pics still auto mode?  just curious if you've attempted manual adjustments

I mostly use manual mode now. It gives you greater control in varying light conditions. Just tonite I was taking shots of fireworks over the university so I had to adjust ISO speed, white balance, exposure and I also used a long shutter time to get the desired results. Oh, and I set the camera to "landscape" mode because i wanted to capture the distant city lights below. :)

Very nice pictures Keldyn. I am also thinking of buying the Canon PowerShot S400.

Should I get that camera?

You have seen my pictures. What do you think? lol Seriously, it is one hell of a camera. It goes highly recommended by the fro :fro:

On a side note, I have just entered into a photography contest. Wish me luck :)

Sure thing. Tell me which shot you like and I will gladly post a larger size.

could you possibly send me everything you took in 1024x768? :happy:

if it'd help, look me up on aol instant messenger or msn messenger and send me them thru that.

good luck in your photography contest! ;) (Y)

could you possibly send me everything you took in 1024x768? :happy:

Ummm...everything? :unsure: I don't know mate. That is a LOT of pictures. I could zip them all up but it would be a very large archive. While I mean no disrespect, these pictures are my own and I do not want them spread all over the internet for people to do with as they wish. You are welcome to choose a couple that you would like but I can not send you the lot.

Oh, someone asked me for pictures of aussie cars so I will put them up later when I have made them web friendly.

Not a problem at mate, don't worry about it. I had noticed someone all ready was using one as a desktop background in the May desktops thread, and I got to thinking your pictures would get me back to using WebShots again, I could make a category and have it change everyday.

So I was paying you another compliment ;) (Y)

I don't mind big downloads at all if you would want to make a zip file for me in the future.

If you'd rather I would only pick a few, that's cool with my :fro: so I'll choose some and mention them here later.

EDIT - Btw, I had noticed I made a mistake anyway. I didn't mean every single picture you took with your camera so far since you got it. :rolleyes: :p :blush:

I meant all the ones you posted here in the topic. :laugh: :rofl:

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
