HOW TO HIRE A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICE/ DIGITAL LIGHT SOL

I recently tried out the new Text-to-Image AI called MidJourney. I am blown away. The quality of its images is a huge step up from previous tools I’ve used (‘WOMBO Dream, Starry AI, and NightCafe).
The output still needs to be upscaled, de-noised, and repainted a bit, but not nearly as much as with other tools.
The user interface is a crazy nightmare… Imagine a Unix-style command line you access from a Discord chat server. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the output is worth it.
The Canon T90, introduced in 1986, was the top of the line in Canon's T series of 35 mm Single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. It is the last professional-level manual-focus camera from Canon, and the last professional camera to use the Canon FD lens mount. Although it was overtaken by the autofocus revolution and Canon's new, incompatible EOS (Electro-Optical System) after only a year in production, the T90 pioneered many concepts seen in high-end Canon cameras up to the present day, particularly the user interface, industrial design, and the high level of automation.
Due to its ruggedness, the T90 was nicknamed "the tank" by Japanese photojournalists. Many have still rated it highly even 30+ years after its introduction. (Source: Wikipedia)
People who complain that software engineers build unwieldy, unfriendly and outright mindboggling user interfaces need to look back in history to realize that hardware engineers have not always been much better in that respect. A good place to do that is the Railway Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
I decided to try CamFi's Focus Stacking feature yesterday. The image above shows a small flower (about the size of a quarter) that was growing in my yard. This image was created using 45 individual images that were stacked in Helicon Focus 6.
Overall, the focus stacking image capture worked as expected. However, CamFi's user interface is not necessarily ideal. The way you change variables (by scrolling through all the possible numbers for a specific value placement) is inefficient at best. And the fact that the app does not remember the last settings used makes the process of creating images for focus stacking even more laborious and time consuming.
Three stacked Kenko Extension Tubes (12, 20 & 36mm) were used to minimize minimum focus distance and increase magnification.
strobist: 1 White Lightning x1600, camera right (behind subject), diffused with a gridded stripbox. 1 White Lightning Ultrazap 1600, camera left (behind), diffused by a gridded stripbox. 1 Canon 580EX, camera left, diffused by a gridded 24" collapsible softbox. A reflector was used camera right to fill in shadows on that side. Monolights and flash triggered via Cybersyncs. The background was a black foam core board.
I Love Flickr Day is a campaign against the new user interface which is soon to be implemented.
The 'New Experience' is poorly designed and the sidebar is cluttered; change should be in a positive direction, an evolution, not a devolution.
Hopefully, it will be scrapped and staff will start to work with the community for a better alternative.
Thank you for taking the time to view my work.

One of the advantages of the computer going down is that I've had to reinstall old software - and that means also updating software that hasn't been looked at for a while. When I reinstalled Photomatix I found that there is an upgraded and more useful user interface. This is the first HDR I've tried in a while and I thought the software gave better results than before.

Another image from Mill Meece Pumping Station, Staffordshire.
In case anyone is interested, Mill Meece are hosting an open evening on Friday 16th May between 18:00 and 22:00 when the station will be lit by oil lamps to create an ambient atmosphere.
I have contacted the organisers to ask whether a) photographers are welcome and b) can we use tripods in the low lighting. They are more than happy with both. If you plan to go then I look forward to seeing you there.
BTW I am not associated with MMPS in any way other than living nearby and visiting whenever I can.

This new Flickr user interface is crap. Im kinda lost navigating here. So pardon if i have not checked out everyone's work yet. The photostream is cool though.
This is the user interface of the exercise equipment that sits directly in front of the elliptical machine that uses me for an hour most mornings.
The ellipticals, the treadmills and the stationary bicycles that surround this one all have frequent dates. I don't think I've ever seen anyone meet up with this one. Its heart throbs hour after hour; does it just come on too strong?
This is as close as I can get to a picture that looks like it was painted. I make virtually no use of in computer editing (I spent so long writing software and user interfaces that everybody else's "intuitive" interfaces annoy me appallingly)
Bearing all that in mind, this is an In-camera edit (Colour Sketch) to create the effect of a very well done Painting by Numbers

I tried to imitate modern app user interface designs, where they mainly use shapes, elevation and shadows for the user interface elements. Google's "material design system" is a good example of that. Ironically, they again try to imitate real world lighting and material like the elevated paper triangle in my picture.
If you look closely, you can see the circular "pillars" shining through the paper, which are elevating the paper triangle.
An interesting engineering and user interface problem. Imagine someone standing on the platform has been bumped and has fallen into the track area.
How do you help them quickly get out of the way of an oncoming train, without causing more problems as the crowd tries to help them out? Once you've designed the safety affordance, how do you make it easy to understand its purpose?

I've gone over to the Dark Side. I have acquired a lightly used 5D Mk3 with a 17-40mm for landscape work. I can firmly say after playing with it for a few days that that Canon needs to hire the Pentax engineers to do the user interface. It takes two hands to turn the thing on while I can do my Pentax K-5 with one.
As to this photo the Aladdin Oracle and I went to the park for a couple of hours to look at the Christmas decorations and watch fireworks. This is from a three image 4EV bracket merged from LR5.3 to Photomatix 5 (fusion) with a couple of final edits in LR.
After several years of uploading a picture virtually every day, my entusiasm for Flickr has hit the skids, hard.
I do not like the changes that wer forced upon us on May 20, 2013.
An option to view all of Flickr in the pre 5-20 user interface, as we can do with our own photostreams, would be a simple solution. According to the Help Forum, the chances of that happening are slim and none, with none in the lead.
Until, or unless we are granted that option, or some other meaningful and unforseen clean up is made to this mess, my activity on Flickr, uploading and commenting, will be sporadic at best.

This is a long exposure of the Coronado Bridge taken at around 6:33 tonight. I shot this after doing a timelapse here.
Single exposure shot with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 150-600mm lens at 60 sec f/25 ISO 100 212mm. I continue to be very impressed with the Canon EOS R. It's far better than I expected and that most of the expert reviews of it. The image quality is amazing: clarity, dynamic range, automatic white balance, low noise at high ISO, the amazing electronic viewfinder, battery life, user interface, and more.
The San Diego–Coronado Bridge, locally referred to as the Coronado Bridge, is a prestressed concrete/steel girder bridge, crossing over San Diego Bay in the United States, linking San Diego with Coronado, California. The bridge is signed as part of State Route 75.
In 1926, John D. Spreckels recommended that a bridge be built between San Diego and Coronado, but voters dismissed the plan. Construction on the San Diego–Coronado Bay Bridge started in February 1967. The bridge opened to traffic on August 3, 1969, during the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of San Diego.
OK. Believe it or not, you're looking at the internet. Or at least a major part of it... when CERN's last collider was up and running in the late 80s and early 90s, they needed a way to crunch all the data they were getting... so they developed a way for computers to efficiently network and talk to one another. This eventually became the backbone of the internet. CERN's computing center is still one of the 3 main hubs for ALL internet traffic, meaning that you might be connecting through it right now.
This HAL-9000 kind of thing is the user interface for a room full of switches and hubs.

I'm always looking for interesting angles when it comes to photographing this bridge. This is one I haven't tried before. Taken on London's South Bank just outside the Tate Modern the weird and wonderful structure helping to frame the shot is of course The Millennium Bridge.
Despite what the Exif info says, (it was an hour off), I took this shot at just gone 3.00 am in the morning. London was asleep with just the odd reveller wandering past. Even the ebbing Thames seemed to be asleep. Being the shortest night of the year it was already light when I eventually got home at 5.00 a.m having walked about 15 miles during the London Photo 24 event. Who says we don't suffer for our art :- )
This is one of the first times I've used the Trigger Trap Long Exposure gizmo which runs off a smartphone app. It uses your cameras bulb mode to brackets shots and communicates via a small dedicated lead. The only limitation of this cool piece of kit is that the shortest shutter speed is 1 sec, a limitation of the camera not the app. You wouldn't be able to use it during daylight hours unless you had a ND filter but at night it comes into its own. My longest exposure was something like a couple of minutes. Unfortunately the exif info doesn't record the bracket durations as it's all done on the phone but the user interface allows you to pick the number of brackets the ev steps and the mid exposure.

Last week I moved from Fuji to Leica for my everyday camera. Both have pros and cons, but as soon as you pick the Q2, it exudes quality, craftsmanship and elegance. The files are amazing and the user interface is incredibly intuitive.

The BLF Q8 is a modern take on the SRK style flashlight, developed by flashlight experts at Budget Light Forum, and constructed by Thorfire. It uses the “NarsilM” user interface, which is highly configurable, with 12 mode group options plus ramping, memory on/off, various moonlight mode options, and plenty of flashy modes.

For the past few days, I 've been reading a lot of complaints (some a bit melodramatic-) about the new Flickr presentation; it's true that the site is a bit buggy but this is just a transition, give to Flickr staff some time to fix it. I think the new user interface is very nice, helps to embilish our pictures and is very competitive with site like 500px (as we know a lot of people have been deserting flickr to go to 500px) Remember...No traffic...no website.
Also the latest news is that Apple and Flickr are going to be associated together. See link here:

Let's be optimistic and don't you worry, you will get used to it!
Time to buy Apple stock!-))

I have worked with Elements 2 for all my processing since 2004. I recently obtained Elements 13. I've worked with it a few times and whist it has one or two added features that may benefit me (with practice), I have to say I hate it. You can't fix your images to the screen with 'Browser' as you could with E2. Accessing images just isn't as good as it used to be. The working screen is reduced in size by about a 1/4, the tool palette is fixed then the additional tools are added at the bottom of the screen which closes off yet more working area till you expand it again. You cannot get rid of the layers box on the right (as far as I am aware). All in all the user interface is unfriendly in my view. It's like driving a car from the front seat with the pedals in the back seat with the windscreen half covered over:(

Struggling with understanding Blender's user-interface. Blender is not the most intuitive monster to control.
Bleh, never-ever liked it.
I love that it's free and seems pretty powerful and extremely stable. I haven't had a single crash, sputter, or file-corruption in Blender, since i started using it a couple of weeks ago.
Most 3D programs can be twitchy half the time. Even the major programs used by major film and game studios.
In the middle of this build, Autodesk discontinued all student lifetime Maya licenses and charging everyone their exorbitant "subscription fees".
What a load of...molasses.
So, in a mad rush, I'm learning Blender and Avastar at the same time for the September event.
I don't want to give anything away. But I'm hoping this will be ready in Fitted, Slink, Maitreya, Legacy, and possibly Kupra. I'm guessing on most of these shapes, by taking an extreme amount of screenshots of friends on pose stands, then correcting perspective for patterns in Pixelmator Pro as backdrops in Blender.

Taken at a custom bike show just at the end of the before times. Lots of really interesting bikes, but really hard to photograph due to the high level of visual noise. In the end I just have a bunch of detail shots of things that interested me technically about the bikes.
I've taken a break from posting as regularly as I was - whilst it's been good this last 18 months being able to raid the archive and get out stuff that I never published, I'm now at the point where I think I need more inspiration and new photos, otherwise the quality will take a nose dive. I'll still try to keep posting, but really I need to get out and shoot more.

Friends,
Please join the protest and make sure this is your last picture before December 8th 2013. This protest is against the new User Interface change that flickr has imposed.
This is Siril's user interface. The assembled image is on the left and the Console is on the right. Lines of data flash by as Siril runs through its paces, but ultimately there isn't a lot to do since a script does all the heavy lifting for you.
Notice the mosaic layout of the individual rectangles.
More post-processing is needed. It needs to be cropped and the contrast and color carefully balanced, which is where the art comes in.
The end result is pictured below.

I Love Flickr Day is a campaign against the new user interface which is soon to be implemented, even the current interface has problems like it's finite 'infinite scrolling'.
The 'New Experience' is poorly designed and the sidebar is cluttered; it makes socialising challenging instead of enjoying - change should be in a positive direction, an evolution, not a devolution.
DId any of you sleep well last night?
I was hoping what happened to flickr before I went to bed was just a nightmare.
But no, woke up to this morning's paper outlining the "NEED" by CEO's Marissa Mayer to "IMPROVE" flickr . . .
According to the article by Timothy B. Lee of The Washington Post,
"Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr for $1.1 billion is a big gamble by Marissa Mayer, the company's recently hired CEO." Tumblr folks? Ah, I think I get it . . . FLICKR . . .
TUMBLR . . . let's pick another name for the next COOL fad.
"Part of Tumblr's charm is its minimalist design and simple user interface. Yet part of Mayer's argument for the acquisition is that Tumblr can BENEFIT from integration into Yahoo's personalization, search and advertising platforms. But it's not clear that these changes will improve the experience for Tumblr users. And more importantly the integration process will be a major distraction for the firm's engineers and management.
Mayer became interested in Tumblr because it was just the kind of property that Yahoo needed to make it both 'cool' and relevant to new consumers.
That ambivalent attitude toward technology was one reason Yahoo lost its dominance of the search market early in the last decade. And it explains why Yahoo failed to capitalize on the early popularity of Flickr and del.icio.us, two sites Yahoo acquired in 2005 and has done little to improve. In all these cases, Yahoo squandered an early lead a more nimble, programmer-focused companies built superior products." ~ Timothy B. Lee, The Washington Post
Competition? Money? Greed? Insecurity? All in the name of what?
IMPROVE? WHAT NEEDED IMPROVING?
D E S T R O Y might better fit here.
NOTE: I ADDED THE WHITE SPACE AROUND MY PHOTO . . . JUST ANOTHER STEP FORCED UPON ME to add some kind of breathing S P A C E. . . . . WHY is it that whatever the flickr staff decides is good enough for everybody else?
