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.

I might take up true colour photography again...some time in the near future lol

Great shots - Forth rail bridge is a brilliant subject. It also deserves color though in my opinion :)

I had a trouble a while back - I was aligning horizons by lining them up with the AF sensor points in the VF, and I kept getting them wrong. I just eye it now and ignore the AF sensors and it seems to be ok. Moral of the story - go with your instinct on the horizon :)

or cheat and fix in post.

No shame in that! Only when your shooting on a tripod have you no excuse for a shoddy horizon. Unless of course you mean it to be skewed which is, obviously, the way I always shoot (lol)

I have uploaded some more IR shots to my Flickr - here a a couple choice ones:

You can see in the larger ones they problems with shooting IR (at least in handheld) - soft or sometimes out of focus subjects. Plus on the two tree shots I was using a different filter (a bit stronger this one). Planning to try and get out with the tripod, weather permitting, at some point in the next few weeks.

Also, yay for the end of Summer - darkness creeping in much earlier means much easier to get out and about for some night time or long exposure shots. Nothing worse than explaining to the wife at 3am during the summer that I'm "only popping out to take some photos, honestly!"

Dude your infrareds make me jealous :(

@moonman, your girl is back I see :p

@mDgar, beautiful niece and beautiful lighting with the stripe.

beautiful pics!

Thanks a lot. She is easy to take pictures of. She loves the camera!

I need somebody that likes to go out and take pics like your 'little lady.' :)

@mDagar, beautiful niece and beautiful lighting with the stripe.

Thanks. It almost looks like she's trying to avoid the sunlight. I know I was. It was freakin' HOT that day.

Been uploading some older pictures from a couple camping trip from this summer.

Kris brought up a Hukka to the cabin. I think he is putting some fruity/apple flavour in it in the picture.

    • I have a couple to mention, and they still run great on Windows 11 Adobe Lightroom Version 2 Alcohol 120% ISO Buster Pro version 1.9.1 (Still supports HD-DVD too) Nero Burning Rom 8 (Only the burning software, no backup, media converter, etc)   PowerDVD 12 Ultra SPTD (SCSI Pass through Direct Driver) UltraISO WinImage    
    • 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.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
