I need to bring it back for a bit to watch some episodes of various series and the Ray Donovan movie. I agree Your Honor was excellent. I also like Billions but have not yet watched most recent episodes of Billions yet. Dexter New Blood, I need to watch last 2 episodes. American Rust didn't keep my interest and I gave up on it. Some other showtime favorites, Ray Donovan, Homeland and Shameless. Homeland was good, shameless was great most seasons. I really hated when Fiona left the series. There isn’t enough new shows on Shiwtime to justify paying all year. It’s the same with HBO, “The Flight Attendant” is the only series I’m looking forward to this season. I’ll either wait for the free weekend or do the free seven day trial through HBOMAX or Apple TV. It’s getting to the point there are too many streaming services.

This is using the "wide" lens. For all 3 models, the ultrawide lens is 12MP and the zoom lens is 10MP, so you won't get the very high res shots when zooming in. Click here and scroll down to the camera section. Most phone camera sensors are arranged in a 3:4 ratio (as are most full frame DSLRs). If you record using 3:4, you'll get the full resolution of the camera. If you record in 9:16, you'll essentially chop off the top and bottom rows of pixels in the sensor to get a wider looking picture, and you'll lose some resolution. As I said before, that's not a big deal unless you're making a large format print. I also like how the 9:16 ratio fills a typical TV screen or computer monitor. Thanks. I see that now. The .6x is 12MP, 1x 50MP/108MP, 3x 10MP and 10x 10MP. I also just learned more about how the pixel binning is working. On the Ultra in wide angle, if I am not in the 108MP mode it uses the pixel binning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 2, 2022 #56258 Share Posted May 2, 2022 @bobmacliberty Have you ever bought a printer to print larger photos? In the past I was tempted to by a 17" wide Epson but after research I would read about them clogging if not used on a regular basis. I could see me printing enough for a couple months but would not be able to keep it going. I have not researched lately. I thought it would be nice to be able to make nice canvas prints.

A pat on the shoulder and a smile goes a long way. One lovely man is at the beginning stages of dementia. Unfortunately, he knows how he will eventually wind up.

We were big fans of Friday night lights, totally great cast , most of the cast have done really well. Will look at Sneaky Pete’s . We did enjoy Power of the dog, did you see Taylor Kitsch in the defeated, I am hoping for a second season it’s on Netflix, extremely dark show in post war Germany. Brian Cranston is fantastic, would have loved seeing him on broadway, he said his favorite restaurant was Delmonico in lower Manhattan, we tried that once and hopefully will visit it again.

I had a small Canon printer. It looks so nice to watch the pic print out. I just looked at some newer printers and it still looks like you can only go a few days without printing something. I thought even if I printed several small prints between the big ones I couldn’t print enough. Go on a long vacation and you would need someone to use it while you are gone or rely on a program to print. I have been very happy with WHCC. I have also printed a couple of hard covered books from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so much easier when it was just NetFlix and Hulu. I considered becoming a "cord-cutter" and ditching Cable TV all together. But the price of just having stand alone internet service + the various streaming platforms I would need - and it seems every streaming platform has at least one show I like - the final price is actually far more than having a double-play or triple play package from my cable provider, Comcast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did, based on your recommendation you posted here several months ago. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. I had relatives that were children growing up in post WW2 Germany and wondered if the life depicted on the show is accurate. Sadly, those relatives are no longer with us so I can't ask. They were always reluctance to speak of those years, like so many others of that generation. The show was always planned as a 2-part show, 8 episodes each season. Season 2 was to be filmed in Prague in 2020 until Covid got in the way. As far as I know, the show has not resumed filming but has not been cancelled either. I hope they do complete it eventually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
