![]() ![]() ![]() If you are more advanced, then a reflector can be a useful tool, even if you don’t go onto use it all the time! We recommend that all our Advanced Light & Composition students purchase one, because having a dedicated reflector can help you understand how light behaves and will react in certain situations that you find yourself in - in other words, how everything around you affects the light. We simply can’t “see” light in the beginning, so getting the foundations right first will make using a reflector so much easier! ![]() If you are just getting started in photography, learning how to use a reflector can be difficult, so it’s something that I would wait until you are confident shooting in manual mode, and you have an understanding of how light behaves. Should I get a reflector, and if so, which one should I get? This reduces the need to increase your exposure for your subject, and helps you retain the detail in the sky!Īnother example would be when you are struggling to get light into your subjects eyes - you can “bounce” the light back into them (see example below!)įinally, you can use a reflector with any type of light - so natural, artificial or studio! By placing a reflector opposite the light source, we can reflect the light back onto our subject, upping the amount of light on them. Although we can lift the shadows just by our exposure, this will often lead to a blown out background. When you have the light source behind your subject, often your subject can be in shadow. When might I use a reflector in photography?Įssentially, you use a reflector to lift the shadows on your subject - so if there are shadows on your subject in areas that you don’t want them, then you can use the reflector to “fill” the shadows in that area.Īlthough this can happen in many ways, a really common use for a reflector is when backlighting your subject. ![]() Reflectors, both natural and store bought, work in the same way: they reflect the light back onto your subject in order to lighten the shadows on any chosen area. Technically, a reflector is anything that reflects light, so it can be something that is already in your environment, such as a white wall, or you can purchase a dedicated reflector so that you don’t have to rely on finding a natural one. Got that? Great! Then let’s dive into the “meat” of the post! What is a reflector? So in this post, I’m going to cover what a reflector is, when you might want to use one, when the right time is to get one, and if you do, which one you should get.īefore we dive in, if you’re interested in learning more about light, be sure to download our Photography Lighting Starter Guide! You'll learn all about the building blocks of light - its colour, intensity and direction - along with some ideas for using each one to kickstart your creative juices. A reflector is simply a tool that will help you change or mould the light to suit your vision, and help you get your images to look the way you want them to. Knowing how to manipulate the light around you is crucial as you progress in your photography journey, because those subtle nuanced shifts in light can have a major impact on your images. Have you heard people talking about a reflector, wondered what it does, and whether you need one? Then good news, that’s exactly what I’m going to be answering in this post! ![]()

![]() ![]() Save yourself some money and pick up a roll of 1" Gorilla Duct Tape to Go! There's enough tape 30 feet to do at the very least 10 wheel-sets vs maybe 4-6 wheel-sets using Stan's rim tape. About 15 min later my Bontrager Rhythm Pro 29ers were tubeless! This wasn't my first time setting up wheels tubeless I've setup previous wheel-sets with all Stans material. No messing with the tape to get it to stick to the rim and no issues with the tape not conforming to the rim since mine are anodized scandium rims. I went home taped the rim up only one layer in a matter of seconds I was done. ![]() ![]() I decided it could be worth paying 3 bucks just to experiment with a cheaper alternative. To my surprise I found a new product called Gorilla Tape Duct Tape to Go 1" for $2.97 plus tax which was the exact size I needed for my wider rims. Luckily for me, I had the patience to hold off on the purchase and decided to go to Hope Depot to see if I could find anything else that would be comparable or better for less. sure they offered to order it for me and have it shipped to the store next day but I was pretty pissed at the fact that they had 10 rolls of the 21mm yet none of the size I needed in stock. Unfortunately, they were out of the 25mm rim tape and only had 21mm available at a cost of $15.00 plus tax. I went to Rock & Road MV to pick up some Stans Notubes Rim Tape. So I decided to go tubeless on my other set of 29er wheels. I'm always in search of workarounds to speed up DIY projects at home and here's one that worked for me the other day. ![]() ![]() Your printer is ready to use.ĭownload Driver Epson 元250 (New Version 2023)Ĭompatible systems: Windows 11, Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, Windows XP 64-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit Download Driver Epson 元250 Ver.

Nothing was resolved, no one tried to help or even get in touch with me, and at that point- after so many messages from others echoing the same issue, I realized this was going to be an ongoing issue. The third time it happened, we had lost all patience and I decided to email, as well as message GE on Instagram. The second time it happened, we were annoyed, but knew exactly how to proceed… perhaps we just got a lemon or were having bad luck. Luckily, Emmett & I problem solved, did some research, and were able to figure out what was going on and resolve the issue on our own. After too many hours on hold and on the phone with customer service, it was determined we would have to pay for a technician visit and nothing would be covered, in terms of cost (despite it being under warranty). The first time this issue occurred, I immediately called customer service to see what could be done. You may need to factor in labor if you’re not comfortable swapping parts. While the part is relatively inexpensive (under $30), if Emmett weren’t proficient in replacing this piece, we also would’ve incurred the cost of hiring a technician. The top burners and warmers work wonderfully, but the oven igniter has proven to be a major issue time and time again.įirst of all, if you have the same range and are curious how to fix this problem… this is the part you’ll need to order and replace: oven range igniter. Basically, the igniter goes bad quite often and when it decides never to work again, that means we have to replace the part altogether if we want to use the oven. You can hear it trying to heat, but the gas never ignites. The issue we’ve had multiple (five, to be exact) times is this… upon turning on the oven, it refuses to heat up. While beautiful and in some areas functional, I cannot recommend our existing GE Cafe gas range. When we moved in, the existing range was electric and I was eager to upgrade to something more functional for our family, as well as visually pleasing. We opted to buy a professional gas range for our kitchen remodel and I was very excited to have a high-end gas cooktop and oven for our space… especially given how often we cook, plus I enjoy spending time in the kitchen baking. We’ve had electric, induction, and gas cooktops in our previous homes, and my personal favorite of the three is gas. ![]() Honesty has always been my policy! This review is for the Professional 36″ Gas GE Cafe Range. Hopefully this post is helpful if you were considering this particular range for your kitchen. ![]() However, when it comes to renovating, I take making recommendations very seriously and try to steer others in the best direction for their home and renovation. Click through to read my honest review, the issues we’ve had thus far (and how we’ve fixed those issues), as well as some alternative ranges I wish we would have purchased instead.įirst I’ll begin by saying, I’m a generally optimistic and positive person, therefore I try to keep an upbeat tone and attitude- especially here on the blog. In short, I’d say no- but I wanted to give this topic a permanent place to live, so I figured a blog post was in order! Sadly, we’ve experienced multiple issues with our range and I obviously can’t recommend it based on our personal experience. I’ve mentioned it before on Instagram and still receive multiple messages asking for my honest opinion and if this particular range is worth the money (~$6k). I’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile now, in hopes to save others money, time, and the trouble of installing a GE Cafe range in their own kitchen. ![]() ![]() Other than the service-connected injury, you’re in good health.After April 25, 1951, you were released from active duty and did not receive a dishonorable discharge.To qualify, applicants must meet the all of the following requirements: If you become totally disabled and are unable to work, you can apply for up to $30,000 of supplemental coverage.

![]() The various criminals and terrorists have extreme bad attitudes for their actions, while profanity consists of at least 4 "s" words and various other expletives and colorful phrases. While some of those scenes and others might be suspenseful to some viewers in an action fashion, only a few have slightly bloody results. Other deaths result from explosions and various falls, while a great deal of non-lethal fighting (punching and kicking, etc.) is also present.

DESCRIPTION Six-string semi-hollow electric guitar, made in Indonesia. Simply tune your ukulele string until it sounds the same as the corresponding note played on the guitar.Guitar cebnter Gretsch G2622T-P90 Streamliner Center Block – 8/10. The G, C, E, and A ukulele strings correspond to the following notes on the guitar: This method is ideal if you’re playing along with a guitarist. In a similar way to tuning with a piano, you can use a tuned guitar to tune your ukulele. The diagram below illustrates which piano keys correspond to the G, C, E, and A notes. This method involves playing notes on the piano and tuning the respective string on your ukulele until it sounds the same as the piano note. If you have a tuned piano (or a keyboard) available, then this is a great way to tune your ukulele because pianos can be used as a reference. It’s worth noting that there are alternative ways to go about relative tuning this is just one of them. This method is quite fiddly and can take some getting used to. Play the G string and tune it until it sounds the same as the A string. Finally, place your finger on the 2nd fret of the G string. Play the C string and tune it until it sounds the same as the E string. Now put your finger on the 4th fret of the C string, and this note should be an E. Begin by playing the E string with your finger on the 5th fret, which should be an A note, and tune the E string with the tuning pegs until it sounds the same as the A string. We have broken the method down into steps below: By assuming that this one string is in tune, we adjust the others. With relative tuning it is ideal to begin with one string that you feel is somewhat close to being in tune. It involves tuning the strings relative to one another, so it is a bit tricky and not always 100% accurate, but it’s okay if you’re playing alone or as a last resort. Relative tuning is a method you can use when you’re really stuck and have nothing available to help tune your ukulele. Some tuning apps that we recommend are: Pitched Tuner, gStrings Tuner. Phone Ukulele Tuner Appsįun Fact: There are apps that do this exact same thing! You can go download it on your smartphone right now, and start tuning! This is very convenient for on-the-go tuning, and it can be a much cheaper alternative. NOTE: Set your tuner to 440hz, no flat symbols, if it has these functions. Adjust your tuning knobs according to the readings until it's in perfect tune. Play a string on your ukulele, and the device will tell you if it's in tune or not. To use a chromatic tuner, is very straightforward. This allows you to check the intonation of your ukulele as well as adjust to non-standard tunings. A chromatic tuner would be the best option, because it will detect every single note. Some tuners are instrument specific and may only tune certain notes. Electronic Ukulele Tuning With A Chromatic TunerĮlectronic tuners are a very simple way to tune your ukulele. To create a more rounded even sound, some people prefer to string their ukulele with a low G string rather than a high G. The open strings on a ukulele are most commonly tuned to the notes G, C, E, and A. Of course, the way you choose to tune your ukulele depends on what you have available at the time, but it’s good to know how each approach works. You’ll learn about using electronic tuners, relative tuning, tuning with a piano, and with a guitar. On this page we’ll talk you through the different ways you can tune a ukulele. Before you start playing your ukulele, it’s always best to make sure it’s in tune. ![]() ![]() ![]() What is going wrong for the Park Place holders? Supply simply outstrips demand. Despite requiring another piece, your Boardwalk is worth a full million dollars. So both bidding $0 is the unique Nash equilibrium. This sell price is larger than the expectation. That player can profitably deviate to 3z/8 and win outright. Regardless of the tiebreaking mechanism, one player must lose at least half the time. The final case is when both players bid the same amount z > 0. Thus, this is a profitable deviation and bids x and y are not an equilibrium. He still wins the piece, but he pays less for it. What if one bid $x greater than or equal to 0 and the other bid $y > x? Then the person bidding y could profitably deviate to any amount between y and x. ![]() Thus, both bidding 0 is a Nash equilibrium. So neither player can profitably deviate. (Check out my textbook or watch my YouTube videos if you do not know what a Nash equilibrium is.) If either Park Place owner deviates to a positive amount, that deviator would lose, since the other guy is bidding 0. It is clear that both bidding $0 is a Nash equilibrium. For example, if one person wrote $500,000 and the other wrote $400,000, you would buy it from the second at $400,000.Īssume that sell prices are continuous and weakly positive, and that ties are broken by coin flip. You will complete the transaction at the lowest price. Each of them must write their sell price on a piece of paper. (This works if you gathered thousands of them as well, but you only need two of them for this to work.) You tell them that you are looking to buy a Park Place piece. Imagine you have a Boardwalk piece and you corral two Park Place holders into a room. Yet, it is easy to show that this intuition is wrong. ![]() (Again, I do not know the exact number, but it is equal to the number of million dollar prizes McDonald’s want to give out.)Įven with that disparity, you might think Park Place maintains some value. However, they only one or two Boardwalks available. I do not have an exact number, but I would imagine there are easily tens of thousands of Park Places floating around. Despite the apparent value of Park Place, McDonald’s floods the market with Park Place pieces, probably to trick naive players into thinking they are close to riches. It helps to know how McDonald’s structures the game. Not close to nothing, but absolutely, positively nothing. That’s worth about $500,000, right?Īctually, it is worth nothing. As always, if you collect Park Place and Boardwalk, you win a million dollars. Here’s the post, mostly in its original form: With that in mind, I thought I would update my explanation of the game theory behind the value of each piece, especially since my new book on bargaining connects the same mechanism to the De Beers diamond monopoly, star free agent athletes, and a shady business deal between Google and Apple. ![]() |
