I have a twenty gallon reef tank that is about 2 weeks in the set up process, I have some live rock, a clown and a fire fish. My original SG was 1.021. I did a 25% water change and the water I put in was 1.024 SG. I retested the tank and it reads 1.021 still. How can I bump this up safely? I'm using ro/di water.

I own contracting company and did some work for a neighbor. It was over a thousand dollars. Does that neighbor 1099 me?

if you know what I mean…..

It gives it greater power right? I looked through the plate and it totally like magnifies stuff.

Pupil diameter (aperture wide open), focal length and f-stop are all related. For example if I take a 600mm lens and divide that by f/4 I get 150. Then 150 X .0394 (mm to inches) I get 5.91 which is about the diameter of the pupil, and also about the diameter of the lens in inches. ok I understand that. But does the same math hold up for a (14)-24mm f/2.8? Lets do the same math, 24 divided by 2.8= 8.57. Then 8.57 x .0394= .33xxx. Does it make sense that the pupil is only 1/3 of an inch wide, when wide open? I believe its true, but hard to wrap my mind around.

lets go from f/.7 to f/22

quick! no cheating

I remember walking into camera stores and spotting those expensive cameras that cost a thousand dollars or more and thinking I would never be able to afford such things. Here I am years later with ridiculously expensive equipment and realize that a thousand dollars won't even buy a good strobe, well it can but not really. Certainly not a studio set up.

Ones you've heard or asked yourself. I once asked about shooting children. What I forgot was that I am a photographer. I got a lot of grief for that one. It never even occurred to me that i was asking something completely different.

What, why, and where

ok here is what I did, I took a ribeye rubbed some good ole yellow mustard on it and then sprinkled some salt and pepper and parsley flakes. It hit a pan of hot grease and browned a bit on both sides, then hit a hot oven for ten minutes sans grease. Possibly the juiciest steak I have ever had. MR by the way. Idea's to push it to the next level

Honestly, nobody in their right mind uses it. thoughts?

I have 2 Elinchrom style 600's ,one style Elinchrom 1200, a large soft box, a handful of umbrellas, various light modifiers, light stands, c-stands, backdrops, seamless, and a rapidly aging D700. and a million other things. a 14-24 2.8, 70-200 2.8, cheap *** 50mm 1.8 …….I'm thinking the coveted 1.4 85 or another soft box.

I want to take pictures of models

I bought an electric smoker at a yard sale today. There really is no way to adjust the temp. However the little door on the side can be opened, but i'm not sure how much to open it and not sure of its effects. I have baby back ribs on the top and a chicken on the lower level. Also I don't want to over smoke it, so I am also asking if I should keep adding wood chunks through the process or just for a while.

I was thinking a big deep mud hole with a man in it wearing a wedding gown and he has a hat made of banana's. Shot with a deep red light, in the middle of a family BBQ. What would you change?

to run a DBA under it. The DBA has a different name of course and it does a different thing. The DBA is simply a trade name. Now since its parent company is a LLC does the DBA company have liabily protection of any kind or is it completly wide open pass through like a sole proprietor? in the past I have filed a schedule C and use an IEN number instead of social security.

Like a print had whatever in RGB, but was two points to much cyan, could you pick it out?

the 255 scale

What is the threshold where you can see it? I swear some people can see one point.
