Number 4: All of the glasses are the same size regardless of the contents.


I assume you are correct. The question states "Which glass holds more water" Assuming that they are all the same size you have to think outside the box and not think of the objects that are in (or behind) the glasses.

Thinking outside the box, Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

There is a definite answer to this question.

You will find that a lot of the responses to questions asked start out with a line that allows you to jump to the next response. They are; I don't own that one but...
I've never tried that but...
I've never used that but...
And the ever popular "Google is your friend" which usually tells you that it was a dumb question.

The ones I looked at did not fit 8X10 format.
Additionally Masters paintings if anything followed the golden ratio which if memory serves is not 8X10.


The golden ratio as you probably well know is 1 inch to 1-5/8 inch. Window width to height, door width to height,
chair height to chair back height etc. 8 X 10 is a little smaller.

I grew up in NY, and everyone I know pronounces solder "sod-der." People in other places, especially England, say "sol-der." What do you say?


This is America. Your name can be spelled "S-m-i-t-h" and be pronounced "Dumchowski"...All the letters are silent.

iMac 2017 OS 12.5.1
Connection USB
Last week I got a message one of my storage drives was full , no big deal.
I looked up the price online and locally, the price was the same, I ordered online because its a 178 mile round trip tp MicroCenter Thats 4 hrs travel + $24.00 gas .The brand is the same that I have been using for over 20 yrs.
Drive arrived Tuesday (4tb ) I replaced the full drive with the new drive got the box to initialize the drive, clicked
Disk utility opened , message drive uninitalized, plus partition not supported, did a disk first aid (okay) and none of the (switches) were highlighted) tried two more times The Mfg of the drives web sight was no help at all.
Yesterday made the trip to St.Louis bought two drives same Mfg. back home installed drive S.O.S but I got support from MicroCenter after a few mins The tech found the problem , I hade to Erase the drive and format it twice naming setting MAC extended journaled and Partition as "Guid" (a first for me) is always been "Apple something".
This is the first time this has happened when installing a drive Windows or Mac, but I haven't replaced or installed a drive in close to 7yrs. WHAT changed ?

Sometimes drives come with software pre installed. Quick erase and partition as Mac extended journaled. Everything OK so far. Partition as Guid, never had to do that. Erase twice, never had to do that either.
Been running Mac for 15 years and installed a new drive about 2 years ago. Strange problem you have. I used "G" drives, part of Western Digital and Sandisk. They come pre formatted for Mac. so no prep is needed for them but other drives, I'm not sure. What brand did you purchase?

Being polite?
I will not comment bad things because every body is different in tastes.
I despise over vivid photos but others love them as you do so who am I to say it is wrong?
I am sure the vivid think my photos are too bland and flat.
We all love taking photos to our tastes and that is what is important.
Only when pleasing a paying client you shoot what they like and want and likely you were chosen because of your style.
So keep shooting that vivid.

Are you sure about that? If you use LR or PS I bet you have the AdobeGCClient running on your computer. You could try to delete it but then it will install itself again.


I installed Adobe.. If I didn't want it to check that none of their files are being messed with, why would I be concerned about AdobeGCClient. I would uninstall any programs that are messing with me, or not install them in the first place. Ever read a EULA? Me neither but I bet it says it somewhere in there. You need to get in touch with your computer some more. Ever use "Terminal?" It's not as serious as it sounds and can be very useful, or dangerous, it's up to you.

"...It seems like this focal range would benefit from a fast lens?"
You're joking right? The general rule for shutter speed to minimize camera movement is 1/focus length...

i.e. for a 300mm f/2.8 you're looking at at least 1/500 second.
For a 20mm optic? You're looking at maybe 1/25 second.
Get real Alphabravo, if you can't hand hold a 20mm f/2.8 at normal illumination scenarios?

As for DOF, when was the last time you studied a DOF chart for a 20mm optic?
https://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

For a 20mm lens at Subject distance 10 ft

Depth of field
Near limit 7.11 ft
Far limit 16.9 ft
Total 9.75 ft

In front of subject 2.89 ft (30%)
Behind subject 6.86 ft (70%)

Hyperfocal distance 24.5 ft

Virtually ZERO subject isolation! So what's the point Alphabravo?
Besides you state your "Workhorse" optic is the AF 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Nikkor.
The distortion at 18mm on that consumer grade optic is horrific.

Best Advice shoot the Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 VR DX lens.
And deal with it...

You can pick it up Used in "Mint" condition at B&H for $269.95
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/802535571-USE/tokina_atx116prodxn_11_16mm_f_2_8_at_x_116.html

Hope this helps Alphabravo...
All the best on your epic photographic journey

I lost my bid on that Russian Oligarch's 27 million dollar yacht so I might take a chance on this. I'll put it on my American Express "Black Card"
