Recommended Posts

Welcome to the Neowin photo gallery! Here you can post your pictures and discuss your photography techniques.

Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pics and the size of the files to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers. Please refrain from quoting images in your replies.

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.

The previous thread can be found here

Thanks!

i shall kick this off!

Any comments/suggestions appreciated. The original image was more vibrant but I thought it was a bit too much colour. I want to do a 4/8 series of this tree throughout the year.

I think you should work on your White Balance there, also, the clouds seem to be purplish which looks odd.

I love the idea of the series about the tree. Make sure you shoot form the exact same spot.

BTW How on Earth did you get so many Flickr comments on that? :blink:

Well, the original picture does have white clouds, for the series I was thinking about going for an enphasized look for each season. Like colour balanced blue/cold winters, warm red auttumns, green summers, pink springs.

I am totally adjusting the colour on the image though, I'll see what you guys think. I sortof like the purple clouds given the theme of the images. Think +kol's strangeworlds in a way. I'll be posting it in my photo help and suggestions thread here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=822324

What do you mean I got alot of Flickr comments? Thats hardly any compared to my other images.

I don't like the Soft Focus thing you have going on here. And like some others have said, the purple in the clouds is weird. Also, the whole image just seems a little... flat, to me for some reason.

This is a gallery, not a WIP topic. Please create your own topic where you can post your updated photos as regular as you wish with people commenting as much as they feel to.

@Argote

That's how - http://www.flickr.com/groups/comments/ - People only comment because they want to show their photos so that others could comment on their photos. A never ending-"OMG THIS PHOTO IS AMAZING. KTHXBAI" cycle.

First of the month. Just playing about with black and white settings on lightroom/colourefex pro. I'm not sure yet whether using just one or both is the best idea.

As for the mega comments comment - yeah, all these post X comment X(n) groups annoy me. I put photos into one once thinking that I'd get at lest 3-5 honest comments but it's all gushy and that.

I have no issue with "Nice Image" comments as I will leave the same on photos myself but gushing for no reason other than forced to make a comment? what's the point?

I await a "nice image" reply to this post lol

I think it's all because of the damn Interestingness + Explore. I cringe when I see some genuinely crap images pop up on explore...

And yes, there are comment spammers, interestingess should take into account REAL comments and not the ****ing you're invited to a group GIFs...

    • 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...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
