    In which of the arts did Group F.64 occupy themselves?

    Question #44499. Asked by shady shaker. (Feb 20 04 8:17 AM)


    Hamlet.

    Photography and mixology...

    Group f/64 was created in 1932 by a circle of photographers espousing a common philosophy. The original membership consisted of:

    Ansel Adams
    Imogen Cunningham
    Willard Van Dyke
    John Paul Edwards
    Consuelo Kanaga
    Sonya Noskowiak
    Henry Swift
    Edward Weston

    The term f/64 refers to the smallest aperture setting on a large format camera, which secures maximum depth of field, rendering a photograph evenly sharp from foreground to background. This corresponds to the ideal of straight photography which the group espoused in response to the pictorialist methods that were in fashion at the time.

    Is it correct to call a female Master of Arts a Mistress of Arts?

    Can anyone explain how the periodic table works? How is it possible that the vertical groups correspond almost exactly to the increasing atomic mass of the elements? For instance, the alkali metals (group 1), alkaline earth metals (group 2) and noble gases (group 8) all have very different properties, yet somehow, if they were all arranged in order by their atomic masses, you would find that they could be arranged in a clear pattern of Group 1, Group 2, Group 8, Group 1, Group 2, Group 8, and so on. Is it just coincidence, or is there a scientific explanation for this?

    What does this first group of words share that the second group does not. Group #1 - (New York City, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Memphis) Group #2- (Phoenix, Miami, Atlantic City, Los Angeles, Denver)?
