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.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
