Same stream, taken from on down.

EDIT: Thanks Kel. Shame I couldn't get the same sky colour as you get.

I think it's more the fault of the weather than anything you might be doing Quboid. Cloudy or overcast skies have a tendency to come out white. Lighting is important.

Dig the scenery.

the best of a digital camara is that if u dont like it u can delete them

i wish i got 1 couse its hard to make a good 1 so i make more then 1 but with a standard camara u have to wait till u got the foto and in the time u got the foto ur a long time from where u made them

keldyn: nice pics, u should make them for backgrounds and publish them or something:)

Yeah, not a lot of clear blue skies around here. The ones at the stream were taken with the sun out and it was darned hot for around here (mid/high 20's) but the sky was still mostly cloudy.

At least I got a chance to wear my Raybans :cool: (see the Oakley's thread in General if you don't have a clue what I'm talking about)

EDIT: Damn where did you find that sunglasses smilie?!

Kaneda pretty much has it...but for mine I just changed the white balance to bring in more light @ the focal point. I would imagine just turning off the flash and taking the picture would give pretty much the same effect. (these pictures were captured on an Olympus D510, which has since been destroyed...now my Fuji A303 rocks my blocks, and I love it!) I will post some taken with it later today.

:D

Thankyou Kaneda. That is pretty much what I figured. I'll have to get myself a tripod then.

These next shots were taken today on the way home. As we pulled up at the lights a car to the right side of the intersection ran a red light and plowed into the rear right side of a car just in front of us. The impact spun both cars in line with one another and then the car was struck again from behind forcing it and the elderly couple inside up onto a curb where they struck the traffic lights. The impact was tremendous....

Because we were directly behind and saw the entire incident we pulled up nearby and raced over to offer assistance. The elderly woman was quite hurt. She had a broken arm, and was in a serious state of shock. Her legs were also pinned because the front of the car was seriously crushd. Her husband had only just been released from hospital yesterday after suffering a heart attack and was still sporting a neck brace. He was cut up quite badly. He had impacted with the rear vision mirror and suffered some lacerations to the top of his head.

A good number of people had also stopped and were offering to help and someone was fortunate enough to have a phone on them to arrange for fire, police and ambulance. There was nothing I could do short of offer reassurance and help move them out of their wrecked vehicle when the ambulance arrived. I also helped moved their belongings into their neighbours van for safe keeping. Fortunately my friend is a double certificate, qualified nursing sister and was able to put the womans broken arm into a sling and we stayed with the couple until they were taken away to hospital.

The whole thing was crazy. What really made me mad though was the cause of the accident. He was a young, male driver, probably around 16-17 years of age and was still on his probationary license. In his haste not only did he cause an accident but put a lot of lives at risk including his own. Throughout the entire ordeal not once did he get out of his vehicle to apolgize or even to inquire on the condition of those he had hurt. The young man was unharmed.

its too bad dragging him out of his car thru the window and beating him senseless wouldn't solve anything eh?

btw..i've been thinking about this for a while... this thread has evolved since the first few pages into a general interest digital camera specs/questions/pictures thread. could the thread use a name change?

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      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.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      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 pradeepviswav · Posted

      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.
