AI got the correct number of eyes and eyebrows but it left off the ears.

So do I. 1947 was a good year to be born.


Absolutely! You are so right. Me too, a very good vintage year.

The real advantage to wrapping the upper section of your tripod legs if for when you Cary your tripod over your shoulder. Hard carbon fiber will bruise your shoulder. Wrap with pipe insulation from Lowe’s and good to go

Yeah, right, And there is a claim these self-drivers are somehow “safer”? This appears to be a completely Bovine Excrement (BS) claim!
An analysis of accidents per 1,000,000 of self-driving vehicles versus accidents per 1,000,000 driver-controlled vehicles or a similar analysis of accidents per 1,000,000 miles of self-driving versus human-driven vehicles would likely reveal more relevant data than mere conjecture.


This analysis has been done! And reveals:

The National Law Review reported that for every 1 million miles driven, there are 9.1 self-driving car crashes.
In comparison, conventional human-driven vehicles have a crash rate of 4.1 per million miles driven.

A study published by the peer-reviewed journal Transportation Research Procedia found that accidents involving autonomous vehicles were mostly rear-end collisions, while conventional vehicles were involved in more pedestrian and broadside accidents.

The statistics for autonomous vehicle crashes broke down as follows:

Rear-end accidents – 64.2%
Side-swipe accidents – 20.8%
Broadside accidents – 5.7%
Collisions with an object – 3.8%
Pedestrian accidents – 0%
“Other” accidents – 5.7%


In comparison, conventional vehicle crashes broke down as follows:

Rear-end accidents – 28.3%
Side-swipe accidents – 17.5%
Broadside accidents – 25.8%
Collisions with an object – 4.6%
Pedestrian accidents – 16.3%
“Other” accidents – 7.5%

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), self-driving cars resulted in at least 11 deaths in a four month period in 2022 across the US. Approximately 9.1 driverless car crashes occur per million miles driven. Sep 12, 2023

According to that same report: “ According to another study published in the Journal of Safety Research, about one-third of serious car crashes could be prevented by autonomous vehicles. However, self-driving cars also have room for improvement. Transportation Research Procedia study results show that errors leading to autonomous vehicle accidents were mainly unsafe speeds at 43.5 percent and following too closely at 26.1 percent.”. So can we presume autonomous vehicles are safer?

Another aspect to cause slow processing is if your hard drive is almost full. If that is the case then the processor keeps swapping out memory and can really slow things down.

I am looking for a carbon fiber tripod able to hold my D810 w/400mm f 4.0 lens on a Markins ball head: prefer 3 rather than more segments (better stability), fliplocks rather than twist, at least 60" max.height ( to eliminate stooping), excellent condition. Carry bag helpful, not required. Manfrotto makes several, but new ones are costly, even EBay is high for my budget.


I have a Manfrotto Befree CF GT with ball head that i would let go. It is brand new still in the box. I never used it because the top clamp is the Manfrotto QR clamp and my L Plates are Arca Swiss. I conversion plate can be purchased for about $50 from Adorama. It comes complete with a padded cary bag. Here is a link to Adorama site for the same tripod new at $469. https://www.adorama.com/bgmkbfrtc4gt.html#main-product-tabs
I would let it go for $250. Its height is 63” with center column up or 54” with center column down. Let me know if interested. The only issue right now is that I am on an ocean cruise returning from Hawaii and will not be home until Saturday.

When I set my temp to Max then the car automatically sets it to recirculate.

Darn, and I always thought it was 10 seconds.

In truth the dog will get it in less than 2 seconds!!!

I moved toward the corner of the little lake to get a better look at the group with the roseate spoonbills. They were there the day before and evidently get along. After finishing at the lake, I came across the GBH in the last two shots hanging out in the shade.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.


Nice shots but watch out for the alligators there.

Searching in the Adobe forum system emphasizes that your message says "recommended" not required. Discussion follows that the newer AI tools may not work as well with older systems. And, that makes sense.


Thanks for your reply, I’ll continue to use and see if and when any problems show up.

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with I7 processor, 16 Gb Ram, 1 Tb SSD. Seems the latest macOS this will run is OS 12.7.1. It has a Retina Screen and also drives an LG 27" Ultrafine 5K external monitor. And runs great.

I have the Adobe Photography Program which is up to date. I also mostly use Lightroom Classic LrC but today I opened up Photoshop and get a warning window saying "MacOS 13.4.0 is recommended for Max Performance and Correct Operation of Adobe Photoshop 2024. An earlier version of MacOS was detected".

I clicked OK and carried on using Photoshop. Does anyone know to what degree and any specific features of Photoshop are limited by running on 12.7.1?

My 2016 MacBook Pro runs great so I hate at this point to have to buy a new computer to run Photoshop successfully.

Oh bummer, maybe it’s coming time to buy that Mac Studio with a 27” screen to use with my existing 27” LG 5k ultra fine screen.

My question was: “Has anyone notice ‘any’ degradation of old (20+ years) electronic photo files, i.e., fading colors or loss of sharpness? If so, any idea what might be the cause?” This is not noticeable on all older files, but enough to prompt this question".
My post ended with a caveat: “I've consider that my perceived "file degradation" might be due to improved PP programs; and/or increased PP skills and more critically demanding taste”.
OK…enough said about this.

If the files are 20+ years old then they were probably taken at a much lower resolution and you are now comparing to current resolution files? Just a thought.
