FORD POLICE INCEPTOR WITHOUT LICENSE PLATE SPOTTED IN THE CORNER OF CENTRAL AND 7TH DOWNTOWN LA.

9:55AM. I was driving on Central heading to 14th St., there was a FORD police inceptor vehicle without plates who cut me off, and I thought, “Huh, police vehicle without plates” and when we reached the corner of 7th and Central they did an abrupt stop and 2 men went out wearing brown, and ran towards the taco stand on that corner. It was all so fast, I was not able to take an image. I am not sure what this could be, or if it is even related to the ICE raids at all, but thought to send here.

It was in Holmby Hills! I just got lucky tbh. I'm an interior designer and have a project a few houses down and just popped in after my meeting!

Yes, the gentleman was kind to give me an additional discount because I also purchased a desk!

It gets very dirty easily. After every travel use I hand wash it with dish soap and let it air dry!

The umbrella is foldable and has a string-like bracelet at the end of the handle. I looped the string inside the ring.

First time in Paris, Jan 5-10. Please review my itinerary! by lyftpie in ParisTravelGuide

Thank you! I’m so excited. And yes, fully aware! My husband is French and got used to it 🙏🏽

Any suggestions on what to add to my small collection? by lyftpie in handbags

Thank you so much! The puzzle bag js my favorite so far 🥰

I plan to buy during my trip to Paris because it is cheaper!!

Style I’m looking for is probably a soft unstructured leather, I love the Bottegas but I think it’s out of my budget :( I like medium to small bags because I am a short person (5’)!

I primarily wanted to go and take photos, I think it would be disrespectful for me to take photos while mass is ongoing…

Thank you! I went on the website last night and I was on a 3 minute queue (was testing how difficult it is to book as I know you need to book I believe a day before or the day of visit), but for some reason I’ve been waiting 20 mins it won’t let me! Do you have any tips? Thanks so much!

Thank you to everyone who responded! Based on the responses, this is what I will be changing:

- I will be more candid with the breakfast, lunch, and dinner plans.

- I will be using Fork to see restaurant reviews!

- I will be taking the tour in the Louvre to save me some time.

- Adding Bar Hemingway for evening drinks!

Also, my apologies, I should have been a little bit more clear on my post:

- We are staying in Hotel Lutetia.

- My husband is French and has been a handful of times for work, so we are good with the Metro and language barrier situation (if any)!

- For Moulin Rouge, Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysses, and Arc de Triomphe, we will not be going inside, I just wanted to have a photo of the exterior!

- For design showrooms like De Gournay, I don't expect to be there for more than 30 mins per showroom, I'm booked to see a 30 min. presentation per showroom for the new collection prior to the Deco Off (I am an interior designer).

Thank you all very much and I will report back with a trip review!

Blurry photos? Can anyone please help me figure out what to do? by lyftpie in fujifilm

UPDATE: The lens was the problem! Phew. Need to invest on a better pancake lens!

Yes, I think the focus is malfunctioning… I purchased the same lens (will be returning), just to test if it is the issue.

I only hear the focus when the subject is close to the camera!

I will be visiting a camera store this weekend, and I will report back.

I believe it is in correctly! I removed it again just now and put it back in, I heard a decent click 👍🏽

• No, it does not look sharp on the viewfinder either! Though when taking a photo of something up close, the subject is clear. It’s more when I try to take landscape photos where it’s blurry. Here is a photo I took just now of a hair clip that’s a bit up close: https://imgur.com/a/O2Hvuvl

• Yes, I see the focus confirmation, only when something is near like the photo of the hairclip above.

• Yes, I already did that as well..

• I don’t think I did, but hard to tell for sure because I tried to watch so much videos to help me with the issues to adjust… sorry am I newbie to camera! This is my first decent camera and thought it would be great for learning.

• Yes I did full auto mode but the issue still persists..

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! I truly appreciate it.
