More Fort William updates from me. No HDR this time but I have been playing about with lightroom processing. I have access now to Colo(u)r Efex pro and Topaz but keep forgetting to use it. Maybe next time.

anyways:

Think I also did pretty well with the titles of some of these - not my best work (titles wise I mean) but getting back to form lol.

I like the latest ones. I kinda felt like some of your shots were lacking a little PP... : )

Though, I'm one of those people that likes to Post Process, probably, a little too much...?

I have Silver Efex Pro. And I really like it. Might give Colour Efex a go... Though, I probably have a little too many steps in my workflow as it is : )

I know what you mean about the Titles. I hate naming my images on flickr, but I don't like leaving them with the name that Lightroom gives them when I export them : )

Absolutely love this shot, and the tone you've applied is bang-on perfect. I'd give it a little bit more treatment in ACR/LR, see if you can bring out the sky a bit more without affecting the rest of the image (graduated filter wth brightness down should do it).

Glad you like.

It's lightroom I have. I might give that a go though I'm not that expert with it just yet. If I get a result I'll post here (but not flickr, no point saturating with duplicate images)

Hey guys, I really want your opinion on this (either here, on Flickr, or both ;)), I got it when playing around with Black & White settings in Lightroom and I think it looks pretty cool, feel free to critique.

I like the crop and the extreme b/w conversion (the white building on that black sky is cool) but I do not like the huge light flare in the middle. Maybe if you could further crop the flare into a third but I doubt it.

So I like the processing - you should post the preset ;) - but the flare kills the image imo

Glad you like.

Nice :).

Fortunately, as a RAW editor, Photoshop's ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) and Lightroom are pretty much exactly the same edit module. They update them side by side and they do the same thing in the same way. Can even swap presets between them with a little bit of work :)

More shots:

This was taken with a Canon Powershot SD750 and I used Lightroom's B&W - High Contrast preset:

These 2 were shot with a Sony Alpha A200

This one is outside the building I was an intern in this summer (Microsoft Building 16):

This one was on a road trip to Oregon:

You may notice that all 3 shots are of wildly different things, BTW.

That's a cool picture. Weird [the mist] but cool.

Here are the last of my shots from Fort William.

That's probably it for me for the month but we'll see. At least now my archive has images taken in October at least once in the last 7 years!

Great shots everyone!

God I'm looking forward to posting some shots in here next month! My 350D has been redundant and I just bought a Sanyo HD2000 Dual Camera to take with me to Las Vegas on 7th November. Bought 2x 16GB SDHC Cards as well so going to be shooting alot of HD Video and Photos (8MP).

Didn't fancy taking my Canon 350D, Im there to go play Poker and Clubbing, so the HD2000 is small enough to have in my pocket!

Keep up the good work everyone and I look forward to November :D

This weekend I went to the city of Quer?taro, M?xico to participate in the Mexico & Central America Regional ACM-ICPC. We did good but my team might not reach the world finals like last year I did get some nice photos though, here's two of them:

    • In what way is any of what I said incorrect? To install an update you need to close all browser instances, upping it from once a month to once a fortnight is an inconvenience for users. Particularly when updates don't offer functionality that users want (notably copilot). Security updates should come as they are needed, not on a release schedule
    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.
