crazy, you actually shoot without strobes? hmmmmmmmm /me thinks your account was hi-jacked! I like that last one, look like he managed to get the shot! I feel it really captures teh moment! Though his shirt does really look blown out a bit ( hmmm come to think of it, it's probably over exposed because you were using strobes!!! :p /nag )

uhhh... probes? I don't get it?

I was shooting two courts at the same time. One had the school's player facing the sun (the last photo) and the other had the player facing away from the sun (the second to last photo) so I had to come up with an exposure that would work on both. They play on 6 courts, and I had to get shots from every single match. So I would stay in the middle of two and shoot both at the same time and move to the next set of courts when they took a break.

LOL @ the spanglish and LMAO @ the strobes :p

Yea it helps to have outdoor sports :p Basketball's all done :( It's baseball/softball/water polo/tennis season now!

What's the spanish word that you mixed with strobes?

Probista which is loosely used as "in view" in some legal talk, but that's not even the word, the word is pro-vista, so for some reason, I translate it into "probes", mixing it with strobes :s , no idea why though, the mind as you get old betrays you :p ( 26ish) Maybe I was thinking probes as "in lighting" some how :wacko: English is not my maiden(sp?) language, though I do speak fluidly and prefer to talk/write in english, but sometimes spanish gets the best of me. It's like I mix both and during writing and don't realize it :s Anyway, enough mumble.

On topic, I like basketball a lot more too, plus it's just more dynamic, though I guess it's all in capturing the moment. To be honest though, I prefer normal lighting, strobing, in some cases, "feels" too much like a studio too me anyway :s though at some point in photography you simply can't avoid getting into strobes. Like as an example I like how you setup the basketball court, light feels very inobtrusive. I dislike however when the main light is that coming only from strobes, though I guess that can be controlled with amount of power in flash, umbrelllas, etc.

@ Sethos, your shots have something weird in them is it fog/mist? I like the last one with the boats in it ( #5) Also the shots are really clean, what are you shooting with?

the lil Nikon SB units I use aren't strong enough to be the main light. I don't know if any flashes are the strong at that distance. The trick is to mix the ambient with the flashes, and have the flashes help you out so that you don't have to shoot at ISO 3200 :p.

It'd be nice if the gym had good lighting, but a handheld shot at ISO 200 in that room is at about f2.8 1/30. Not very good for sports :p

It was a bit foggy last night and as some of the shots are in the distance, it shows that much more.

And I'm shooting with a bog standard Canon EOS 500D with the 18-55 kit lens.

Hmmm that may be a factor, I shoot mostly in JPEG. I thought it was just lightroom addding the noise. :wacko:

I used to be also, but oh my god, shooting in RAW makes SUCH a difference, I mean it's not very noticeable here but have a look:

Yea basically, shoot in RAW whenever possible captures more details. then when in LR set to greyscale dont just desaturate the photo. and the play with highlights, light, darks and shadows in teh graph and you can uniquely chanhe everything basically, and then when needed use the blacks detail and the adjustment brush for other adjustments.

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
