I'm being watched.

Just messing around in my room, I once uploaded a picture of my last bedroom onto my Flickr page and it was featured on Unplgged. as they were impressed with my room.

I've moved out of that room and into a new one, which is much bigger. 4 photos taken from each corner of the room.

an old photo from about 4 months ago I stumbled upon today while cleaning out my library.

Now that I'm more... "experienced" I'm not as satisfied with the lighting as I once was.

New updates on my Flickr. Been about 3 weeks since I did any photography outside of work. Poor showing in December from me I think.

Couple shots me and the wee lad took messing around with off camera flash:

And some shots from a breakdance event held locally on the weekend (read more about my issues in photoing it and give me tips here).

The images have been put through lightroom (as is normal for me) and then textures and frames (kind of) added for a grungy/retro feel. I think it works though I do concede that I may have not stopped soon enough on a couple lol...

Too much with the textures and that?

Dunno why I like this but I do. What is it?

It makes me think of 80's man/machine shows like airwolf/street hawk/knightrider. Don't ask me why that's just what conjures in my mind when i look at it.

Also, crazy88ss. The ant picture is cool. Totally crisp and detailed I even like the layout, though I don't know how orchestrated by you that was (reckon you would've just left the little blighters to it and fire off a couple of frames, see which is best, no?).

Nice macro shot... least I hope its a macro shot... :|

Yes, way too much.

Yes it's a macro shot.

I have some ant bait on my dresser that they've been... "hanging out" at. I thought it'd make a good photo opporunity so I put down a piece of white printer paper to help make them easier to see.

Other than that I just took a bunch of pictures and picked my favorite one. I used my reverse lens adapter on my 50mm f1.8, so everything was 100% manual. It's a big challenge trying to capture moving objects with no autofocus!

It's nothing compared to every other photo in the thread but it was my very first picture taken with my new camera, it's a milestone :p

I call it: Bloody hell Sethos, perhaps it's time to give that cup a wash?

nice! You should get a flickr account Sethos.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
