Good, but I would have gone with L'Accost. It's Frenchier.

The "metal body" quote? That was C-3P0.

The vertical stabilizer is the static part of the tail, the rudder is the part that moves. I don't remember exactly which part he touched. Not gonna watch it again.

Another way to remember DOF and aperture is to relate it to the human eye. When we squint to see greater distances, we are closing down the aperture of our eye and increasing our depth of field.

Both. I spend 2:40 of this song listening to two chords. The bridge was better, but then we were back to the same two chords. I got bored.

Sounds a lot like a much shallower version of Zero 7.

No worries. Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!

Interesting way of looking at it. Touché. But these colors are no more accurate than the B&W versions.

You stole my line. But I was going to use a picture for effect.

This same captain had taken a very similar course before, which had actually taken the ship even closer to shore. So there is reason to believe that the rocks he hit really were uncharted. It's going to be a long time before all the facts are in on this one.

My free NYT subscription ended today, and all I need to do is turn off JavaScript? Thanks!

You need to look up the definition of "travesty."

This is an interesting process, but it seems to me that if a retoucher is using their own best, though well-educated, guess as to the original colors, then all these photos cease to be historical documents and become works of art. And, as works of art, they are striking. But they are no longer historical record.

If it's an artistic choice, then the photos cease being historical documents and become works of art.

How does the retoucher know what colors to use? Or is there something in the tones of the B&W that indicates the original colors? Or is she just guessing?

Or is it that a encyclopedia is "Better" because they have verified references?

That was actually a very interesting video to watch. I would have liked to see more. From the photograph above, you don't get the sense of how deep the art is. Brilliant stuff.

Inspiration for the video? It's a real book; my son has read it. It's the sequel to The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.

Or, as Benjamin Franklin said, "In the dark, all cats are grey."
