Went to the Toronto Zoo today, and managed to snap some cool pics. I'm going to upload them all to Flickr tomorrow, after I recover from the insane heat, but here is a sample to make do in the meantime. Not a crop.

@houlty - quality wed photos. The one in front of the window is great. You use flash for the indoors and car shot?

thanks, just the onboard flash. to be honest, i used my cheapest lens (nikkor 18-200mm) and didnt take my sb600 flash because there was a good chance it would get knocked and banged as the day went on, what with all the festivities and alcohol consumption...

also, love the ir effect, it gives a nice twist to the regular approach.

Pretty good images from the onboard flash I must say. I'm guessing you were shooting "P" then? Usually the best way to use the onbaord for me anyway. I took a number of images of my mates wedding in July with a SB800 for the indoor shots (+1EV with omnibounce diffuser blasted off of the roof or whatever surface would suffice) looks no bad but dont get in the way of the flash - BLIND! Theyre on my flickr if your at all interested.

Cheers for the comment on the IR stuff - I am just really learning the best way to shoot in IR, just wish this crap weather would move on so I can get out in the sunshine and get some more shots in - I'm wanting to photo the forth rail bridge in IR just to see the effect - other red coloured objects I have photod in IR recently have almost dissapeared - how interesting it would be to see only the white scaffolding floating in the sky where the bridge once was lol.

Ferguson Farmstead Beta 1

Check out the full size super high detailed house on flickr. It's 4565 x 4459.

I still need to add to the right to make this into a landscape shot.

The house itself is made out of of around 9 images, so be sure to check out the original size :) Each of the 9 images is made up of 7 layered bracketed images, so the house alone is 63 photos.

The pictures I took of the right hand side of the image didn't turn out. I'm going to find a way to blend in a different field on the right, if possible.I think the grass is a bit too green, and I'm going to try and make the image wider, since it's almost a square right now. Also, there's some minor distortions and badly blended images around the house that I'm going to tweak.

Not to be rude, because this isn't personal and I'm not in general a fan of heavy image processing or in tonemapping, but isn't 63 photos a bit excessive? I can't really see anything that couldn't have been achieved with just the one photo and a bit of judicious photoshop. It's a nice composition nonetheless :)

HDR max is 5 images. Anything over that is overkill. I can usually get the same image out of 3 bracketed images as 5. So this should really have only been 21 images ;)

Haha sorry I should clarify, because of the differences of lighting in the scene I took that many to give me options for exposure. I was then able to pick 3 or at max 5 for each image to achieve the desired effect for that section. Your right, anything over that is stupid. It's still WIP so I need to refine it. One of the reasons 1 photo wouldn't have sufficed is that I wanted to have a high resolution house, and my camera is only 8mp. I did the house, grass and sky individually in processing so I could get the vibrant sky, and have the other parts of the scene properly exposed. So its a bunch of images tonemapped into tiff files which are then made into 3 seperate panorama pieces that get blended in photoshop. It's probably overkill but it's helped me learn a bunch about all 3 programs.

I just got my camera so I am just getting used to it.

Pics of flowers from Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens during our last trip to Vegas

I like that. You say you just got your camera - were you shooting on P or are you braving it up to M? No shame in P, I use it every now and again (especially for from the hip shots of people who don't know I;m shooting them lol)

Anyway, couple more IR but converted to B&W - wasnt digging the flase colour on these ones.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
