Ah sorry. Didn't see anything about that in the rules or guidelines.

That's alright then. You'll get steadier with practise - keep a compact shape with your elbows touching your body if possible.

It's 426x640 - that's not very small. You have to include the border of course, it's part of the picture ;)

According to the rules, borders are allowed right? :p (Don't mind if not, happy to be DQ'd ;) ) -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

Are you shooting with live view?

Not a pro, but I'll give my opinions :) Nice. In post-process you might want to adjust levels and perhaps large radius USM (unsharp mask) to up the contrast that you lost going through the window and due to haze. Woah.. was it twisting or are you just holding the camera at an angle ;) This shot shows a weakness of the kit lens - it's got barrel distortion at the wide angle. If you can, zoom in a little bit as the distortion will improve. Or you can correct it using software like ptlens. That camera probably has some kind of dynamic range optimiser, that might be worth using on this kind of shot too. Nice again, but the camera has focused on a point infront of the lamp - I would want to get the crystal stand and glass balls in focus primarily. Good again. Need a faster shutter speed here, and again focus needs to be dead accurate. Good photo. Questionable subject interest :p A very tricky shot to expose correctly.. and it's not. A dynamic range optimiser setting would really help avoid the blown highlights here, otherwise expose -2/3ev and recover any lost shadow detail in post processing (PP). Another tricky shot - this needs a bit more contrast and sharpness. But in this case very easily done in software - just use USM. Then why the picture? :p Nice subject and composition. Just needs sharpening and contrast increasing in PP to bring out the details. Nice - excellent dynamic range. Another really tricky shot to get right - the lights have overexposed. Either use negative exposure compensation or spot meter. Though then the rest of the scene would be too dark. And you thought the last shot was bad :p Obvious camera shake problems here. Camera shake gone, overall much better picture, just needs a faster shutter to prevent subject movement. too much movement. What did I say about subject interest? :p Nice, but you need more of the scene in focus = small aperture = long exposure = hard to do without a tripod. almost perfect :D And I've run out of time - will do the next sets later, sorry!

Commiserations Nodz ;) I'm sure you'll do a fab job.

No worries. Feel free to delete the posts about the problem/possible vulnerability (or move them somewhere not publically viewable).

Right - that was the problem: running scripts from a source external to the website is a security risk (malicious code could be injected), hence it was being blocked.

Okay, what are you using googleapis for Diablo?

IE is fine (can quote you in IE - couldn't in FF). Pretty sure it's something my end, but there shouldn't be anything in TDU-C that I have a problem with - have you changed any scripts in the last few days that might be blocked for security/privacy reasons? (I know some websites do something funny with header information I think that can sometimes cause firewalls to block them). TDU-C scripts are allowed in FF, but there might be some built-in protection somewhere else that's stopping it.

Still can't post anywhere else but this thread.

ok.. the edit is registering as an edit attempt (adds reason for edit).. but doesn't actually change any of the text that I edit. Chatbox still not working after clearing out cookies and restarting Firefox. Something is borked.

:( Can't post in any other sections, says 'message too short' as if no characters are being entered. And chatbox is broken - just stuck on 'loading' for me. Might try clearing out cookies to see if that helps.

Right.. can post here.. but not edit a post.

*testing to see if I can post here*

Cheer mike, and you don't know - I'm pretty indecisive too :p Tenebra was no help, she said I should get both :p

Read the first post - I clearly state my intended uses :p Also I don't need to spend any money on my PC - it already plays everything I want really well.

Played LBP, not hugely impressed. No no NO! :p Shooters on consoles are not my thing. They are right royally aweful for someone used to PC gaming. :nanananana: But will the games actually use it, given a lot of gamepads out there can't even rumble? GT5 is probably going to be a key decider when it comes out, but then again, if MS could release a better Forza, sort out RROD and noise, then it'd be in for a real shout as well. So tricky!

No of course not. It can output to any monitor with HDMI.

644 new members joining a site in a month to discuss all sorts of things including TDU.. nope that's hardly going to make Eden/Atari suddenly change what they are doing :p Now if it was like World of Warcraft, gaining 500,000 full paid subscribers a month, it'd be a different story :p Congrats anyway :thumbsup: Hits to page views is a bit high, but presumably chatbox refreshes don't count as page views right?

It has the same number of buttons (unless you can't click the control sticks on the PS3 controller, but I thought you could). The only difference is the D-pad is 8-way rather than 4-way. Ergonomically I prefer the X360 pad - I can squeeze the triggers without loosing my grip :p I'd probably get used to the PS3 one over time though.

^this. Nope, the 4850 is MUCH smaller than the 9800 GTX+.

Lovely pics - you can check the size guidelines for yourself here: http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=3 (really, do read them or you might get in trouble with The Management!)

Well actually PC gamers quite often buy something the price of say the X360 just to play one game. But I've already addressed the possibility of that in my opening post. Which bit of 'I'm not going to use blu-ray' didn't you get? :p You've said your peice and I understand where you stand on the matter, but let's keep this thread for other people to chime in with their opinions backed up with reasoning rather than keeping on argueing the same thing again and again :)
