WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'll show you what I mean. Two pictures taken approximately in the same position. I may have been about 10m apart. I'm not sure but the difference is pretty obvious.

I'm sure there's an explanation.

Not my best pictures. No editing.

First one is 16:9 second is 4:3.

So some more pics of Paris

We went to the National Middle Ages Museum. It was free while they did some renovation of their main attraction which is a series of tapestries. But they have a Roman bath house located in the bottom that you can explore.

So just some more from around Paris. The Pantheon, Notre Dame, Saint Étienne du Mont and Shakespeare and Co. (famous English bookshop)

And lastly because I find these things interesting. Note the building on the right side at the top. There's a few of these facade buildings about but in some cases people live in these thin buildings.

Monday is here and my one question is:

When is Tuesday going to show up?

Manual mode. Note that it blew the sky out like a Chrissy Tiegen twitter clapback, causing me to tweak the settings pre shot. Also, there's no telephoto access in manual either. View attachment 141341View attachment 141342

Great photos! I think it's interesting that telephoto isn't present in manual mode, as that's something I wouldn't have expected to hear.

So yesterday we went to the Normandy coast to a place called Étretat. Yeah I can't pronounce it either.

Wow!

Thanks Laura.
It's a tough cookie.

Wow, I get what you mean. What did you end up doing?

 

[libra89]

Also realised something about the camera.

In 16:9 the image is zoomed in more than if the setting is 4:3.

I didn't realise this until yesterday when I went to Paris so I probably missed some good pictures at Etretat because of this. I'm not upset by this just annoyed.

That's quirky! The photos you shared have been very nice, so I wouldn't have realized (until the example images you shared). That's unfortunate that Sony chose to do that.

Waiting for the S10+ to fully charge before dumping the data onto the Pixel 3a.

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Well, it's settled. Time to make the push for something new.

Career wise or phone wise?

 

[worldspy99]

I missed the Google software experience. Although the app drawer is still janky.

I admit that I wonder the same as 99 here but either way, I wish you the best with next steps.

Both points are so fitting for you. Will you miss the S10+?

We will have to wait and see.
I'm already liking the slightly smaller size. And as I have said before I don't mind the bezels on the screen.

So the fruiting season has ended in the farm. No more durians, no more lanczones (locally called langsat) ... it was a long three months of hard work.
Now its back to maintenance ie pruning, weeding, manuring...etc

We don't have any farmhands, we do everything ourselves, ie, just me, my missus & her brother. This would be a temp situation.
Our priority would be clearing more access roads/path. Figuring the best site for a small house, and building several huts both for rest stops and using the roof to harvest rainwater.
And hiring workers cos it's way to tough without helpers or any form of mechanisation.

Been buying a bunch of extras for the hike on Saturday.
Microspikes - there is about 100 ft of ice on the trail.
Water filtration - don't want to carry too much water
Energy gel, energy chews, hydration tabs - again reduce weight
Definitely a new backpack since extra weight for layered clothing
Red LED headlamp - going to start the hike at 2AM
Liner socks - no blisters please
Extra moleskin - my ankles are still blistered from San Jacinto

A few extra things might pop up by Thursday night.

What do those fruits taste like?

So, Mr. Clue, our teams are 0-4. Maybe they traded the Dolphins defense for future considerations? Meanwhile, in Duvall County, it's another scene of the star DB in a contract year yelling at the head coach. I know Ramsey doesn't like losing, but if he keeps it up, he's not playing for us next year - no matter how talented he is. The Giants look like giants ant eaters.

At least Lamar Jackson looks great. And the Bucs are a .500 team. Carolina looks lost and Drew Brees is hurt. And if the Jets win tomorrow night, Laura might be saying "same old Browns". Hell of a start to the season, eh?

It’s tough to be a fan in the 305 these days. Not only are the Marlins headed for their worst season ever, the ‘Phins are in full fustercluck-mode after trading last year’s #1 pick to the Steelers. Not counting the failed Chicago experiment, now I have to look forward to a Heat team without D-Wade (for real this time). The U has the craziest turnover chain going but you don’t get points for turnovers, just a 1-2 start. The site for the proposed stadium David Beckham is getting is a geological mess, I’m running out of sports to follow.

It’s too damned hot down here to think about hockey so.......
