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.

Here are a couple of shots I took at the end of last week.

All taken as I walked home from work, giving my 55-200mm lens a little run out. Bit of cropping on each and blacks pushed up for the silhouette.

This is my favorite of the week though. I don't know why. It's too dark and it's got too soft focus but I just love it...

I've cropped the image and a little exposure/brightness play on lightroom but not much.

Anyone here like it? Comments welcome (even on flickr, ;))

whoaaaaaa kick ass shot. What'd you shoot it with?
A camera ;) Sorry, I had to :p

:shiftyninja:

D50 and broken 50mm f/1.8D broken in the sense that it only focuses to a certain extent :( oh teh noes need new gear :( the PP was set clarity to about 80% in lightroom.

Nah. If I had to hazard a guess, 200mm F/2 VR @ F2. Bear in mind depth of field is a function of aperture and focal length :)

Yeah but cmon crazzy88s, that's a whole lot of effort when I'm so awesome I can just look and know :p

:shiftyninja:

Yeah, that's pretty awesome, but it's not "Awesome+" is it? :D

I'd give you Awesome+ if you could correctly identify which eye he used to look through the viewfinder when setting up the shot. :laugh:

Took this today with a fuji IS-1 borrowed from work. I had the white balance shot from a section of grass and was trying to get that false colour look. I've managed it (just) but there must be something wrong n my workflow as I can't seem to get that Ethereal feel you see in so many other similar shots.

I had to do a fair bit of tweaking to get it like it is. Also, it's very grainy for being shot at ISO200.

BTW it's just a quick shot in my back garden.

Anyone any tips/advice on doing it better next time (and yes I know I should photo a better subject matter but I was just getting to grips with the process)

I definately need to get a better camera. Again with the Olympus SP-510UZ. Took in RAW and converted to JPG when saving. Did a little post processing too, sharpening, getting the levels right and removing some noise. Feedback would be welcomed on the Photoshop work!

Welll it certainly looks good in my eyes, would you care posting a tutorial on how you did that?

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
