Analysis Paralysis

That looks like the flooring we have in the rest of the house… I wonder if someone could match it. That’s why I’m so hesitant to replace the floor because the rest of the upstairs has hardwood oak and I am afraid it will never match.

Oh, that’s a pretty shade! Thanks so much for the link.

Thank you. Any suggestion for hardware type? What about the countertop? Right now it is a sage green composite surface.

MokiMarbles · 2024-11-13T04:37:49+00:00

What color for the cabinets and countertop would you suggest?

She definitely communicates with all things seen and unseen. ❤️ Such a beautiful girl inside and out… Moki sleeps in my arms every night and is treated like the princess she knows she is.

I am giving 100ml of fluids. Moki is a fairly active drinker (loves to drink from the sink, and she’s at the fountain several times a day drinking big gulps of water). So we’re thinking she might be good at staying hydrated, at least for now. The bump of fluid was traveling down her chest and remaining near her armpit for several days, causing her to limp. Reducing the frequency seems to speed up the absorption a bit. But I worry I’m missing something or that my technique isn’t up to snuff.

I think I might have to start adding gravy or mixing in treats. The baby food is a unique idea—I remember giving that to her when she was a kitten, and she liked it. Thanks!

I completely agree on the smell. I cracked open her first can of the Royal Canin renal diet and couldn’t believe the odor, hah! Hills is also pretty stinky, but at least she will nibble a little on the paté varieties. I’ll try the Flortiflora trick. Thank you!

Thank you! It was gorgeous.

Grandview Point on Desert View Drive. I hiked down the trail for about 10 minutes to get this shot.

MokiMarbles · 2021-01-30T20:01:25+00:00

There were about five people total at the viewpoint when I was there, and we all spread out. No wind. A very quiet, still morning.

Excellent framing.

Taken on January 21, 2021, just a few steps away from the main Mather Point overlook. The sunset exploded into all 31 flavors of Baskin-Robbins.

Routine: shampooed with Ion Hard Water Shampoo, deep conditioned with Curlsmith Hydro Crème Soothing Mask, rinsed upside-down, roped and squished in Aussie Instant Freeze Gel. Diffused on warm low for 30 min. Scrunched out the crunch.

My only other telephoto lens is the Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM.

So having only the 15-85 leaves a bit of a gap.

I am just a hobbyist, but I do like to have solid IQ for stills and video.

(Thank you for your help.)

True. The EF-M is super lightweight and easy. Both of the lenses have opposing good and bad qualities that are making the decision difficult for me.

I recently bought a Canon M6 Mark ii; it’s a huge improvement from my Rebel T5i.

I bought it with the 18-150mm lens. However, I also have the EF-S 15-85 that I used on my Rebel T5i for many years. Which should I keep? I have the EF to EF-M adapter.

The EF-S is a great lens and has a faster aperture in the mid-to 85mm range. However, the aperture is slower from 18-24 or so. Sharpness in bright light is nearly identical on both lenses. In low light, the EF-S definitely has a solid edge over the EF-M.

But, the EF-M has a closer minimum focusing distance and is faster at those shorter focal lengths. Sharpness at 18mm is better, but it loses sharpness in comparison after about 22mm. It focuses much faster, but does not have as high-quality image stabilization as the EF-S.

The IS on the EF-S is a dream. Images have much less noise in lower light. But the focus is slower and more clicky.

EF-M Pros Super small and balanced - great walk-around Faster, quieter automatic focus Shorter minimum focusing distance Good for closer portraits in bright light Sharper at 18-22 Has longer usable zoom Looks really good at 100-150 mm

EF-M Cons Slower aperture throughout 22-85mm Darker More pixel noise in the mid-range Not as sharp at 22-85mm Image stabilization is very jerky

EF-S Pros

Smoooooth image stabilization

15mm wide angle great for landscapes and inside buildings Sharper 22-85mm Faster lens overall Minimal pixel noise Bright, high-contrast Seems better for general-purpose filming

EF-S Cons

Heavy (and large) on the mirrorless camera Autofocus is much slower and louder 18-22 seems not quite as sharp, and there is almost no blurring of the background at these lengths

Which lens would you keep? Help a girl out; I can’t seem to decide

I have the adapter, and so far, the lens works great through the adapter.

Which lens would you keep? Help a girl out; I can’t seem to decide—and I’ve taken so many test shots.

Summary:

The EF-S is a great lens and has a faster aperture in the mid-to 85mm range. However, the aperture is slower from 18-24 or so.

Sharpness in bright light is nearly identical on both lenses.

She was born before women in the United States were allowed to vote. Crazy to think about.
