This first shot would've been perfect if:

1. I had upped teh sharpness a bit

2. Bounced the flash better ( nasty shadow on the right side of teh face is because the flash wasn't exactly in the middle )

3. Probably could've fixed things If I shot in raw... but laziness is meh...

This is a great shot! I am trying to figure this out: The frisbee may be flown toward to the girl on left... or the guy on the right threw the frisbee behind the girl on the left...

This picture probably will confuse people on which way the frisbee goes. See what I mean?

Good job on capturing this perfect shot.

Thanks, yeah I didn't find it confusing at all just because I composed the shot and knew what was happening... but someone else said the same thing lol, the girl on the left was posing for me... well I was walking by, looked at her, she looked at me, and we just knew.

So I put up my camera, she made that "pose" and held it for about 10 seconds (I was waiting for the guy behind her to throw the frisbee)

Saw it on flickr earlier and still think it's a great shot. Only criticism I have is the power line running through the one light is distracting!

Thanks and yeah, I was thinking before I took it that it would be nice if it wasn't there, my only solution really would be to throw on my 35mm, and move forward quite a bit, but I wouldn't have got the same perspective, and I was too tired to do all that work

Edit: or if I was any good at photoshop, I could remove it that way :p

^^ Not that hard, in photoshop or lightroom, just use spot heal /clone tool, it would probably take you 2 minutes at most !

IMO, the cable doesn't bother me, what bothers me is that sign in the middle :p it kinda removes continuity for the street.

Haha, well sure, I could do a quick job, but I am no expert, I have done that before, and no one noticed there was a cable there before, but I could notice it was removed, which bothered me more than leaving it. (if I was good at photoshop I am sure I could make it blend in perfectly with no artifacts, but whenever I use a spot heal/clone tool there are little leftovers/imperfections, and it looks weird to me

Not much I can do about the sign ;) but good observation!

I knew some of you guys post pics of the moon but I couldn't because there is no moon around here due to cloudy. We had a thunderstorm nearby a little awhile ago.. Hopefully, I will keep an eye on the moon when it comes around as long as it looks interesting. Great shots, guys.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
