I looked at the photo ephemeris, at the time the photos were taken, the sun was about 28 degrees above the horizon. On july 1, that would be similar to taking the pics about 6PM. That is pretty low in the sky with the sun shining through a lot of atmosphere. Result: the sky is not as bright as midday during the summer. Less light means you need a slower shutter speed as in photo #1 (plus more than 3 stops vs. sunny 16) or open the aperture as in photo #3 (plus 2 stops vs. sunny 16). Save these photos and compare them again to taking the picture at 6PM during the summer next year.

The subscription cost is less than the cost of a cup of coffee. If every program on your computer became a subscription, how many cups of coffee would that be? The coffee industry would go bankrupt because everyone gave up drinking coffee to pay for computer programs. Would there be enough left over to pay for internet so you could access the programs to use them?

"To true" or "Too true" "Too true" is correct and true.

Except I do not accept it as acceptable.

The one going for the slam has great hang time.

As the creator of the art piece, it is the artist's vision, PERIOD. How the artist arrives at that final vision is completely and totally and wholly up to the artist. As the observer, like the image, don't like the image, doesn't matter to anyone but the observer. Does it really matter what chisels and hammers were used or where the rock came from that is now known as "Venus de Milo?"

My favorite memory of this stupidity is back in the late seventies when my friend and I spent time in California. My friend's uncle (who was living in California) was driving on one of their sixteen lane highways when a car went past our hood (bonnet) at 90 degrees to us.
I am happy to report that he did make his exit. However, the time it would have cost him to proceed safely to the next exit and backtrack on surface streets I am certain would have been far, far less than the time to wait for a wrecker to lift him off of the guardrail, get his car repaired, and finally proceed to his intended destination.

Can we also mention the stupidity in commercials. Buick advertises all the fantastic things their cars can do. They show a young man taking his "on the road" driver test and is asked to parallel park. He pushes a button and the car parks itself. The test examiner should give the car a passing grade and fail the young man.

The use of the turn signal is to let those around you to know your intent. How about those who use the turn signal AFTER they start their turn or lane change.

I get a lot of bills in the mail. Is that fee-mail?

Cats are not capable of buying cat food. The owner must buy it. The marketers appeal to the buyer, not the user. Has anyone tasted a mouse? I don't want to know if you have.

At one studio I workedat, we would receive large prints (20x24 and larger) from a lab via UPS. Sometimes, the flat package which was 1 to 2 inches thick would arrive looking like this ^. Therefore, I pronounce U-P-S as oops.

Why would anyone abandon such a fine structure. It has a light airy feel and great cross ventilation.
