Arts & Humanities - 19 November 2007

I own a Canon 20D and a 10D digital Cameras. I have an old Canon EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 zoom lens that I bought back in 1996! So I know this lens was never designed for digital SLR cams. I'm on a very limited budget so I need to know which of these lens is better. The Tamron is in my reach more so then the Canon USM lens. But I want to get the best of the two. Obliviously the more expensive lens would work better. So my question, which of these two is the better lens to invest in.

After WWII?

The nazi plan during WWII was to eliminate and or exile poles, russians and other slavic races so that germans could colonize those areas. So after having suffered through german brutality, why didn't russian/polish armies clip the german population after the war?

Contest, woo! Who can write the best 6-Word Story?

A Six-Word story is simply that; a story of 6 word,s no more no less.

The idea came from Hemmingway, when he wrote, "For sale, baby shoes. Never used." He is said to have called it his finest work.

So basically you can be funny, express a deep moral, make sociopolitical insight, or even just describe a scene--but you have to use exactly 6 words.

Examples can be found here:

Here are some of mine too:
1) Even superheroes need to grieve sometimes.
2) From space, the world looks peaceful.
3) Epitaph: "No, no! The OTHER right!"
4) Earth goes on strike; feels abused.

I'll judge the winner based on what I think is best. Have fun!

Where are good places in Santa Monica, CA to take photos?

I was asked by two of my friends to takes some action photos of them. There both athletic and she into the Martial Arts.
Plus they wants some fashion style creative shots in the city too. It just would be one camera and maybe a small tripod. I don't want to be to obvious with the photography because some place get funny about picture taking. I was thinking Santa Monica because I live near Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. But I have shot down there many times. Besides near the SM Pier and the Third Street Promenade, does anybody have other suggestions for cool backdrops and locals in Santa Monica, CA for picture taken?

How do I get my pictures to be less YELLOW?

I am shooting with a Canon rebel. I do not know much about the camera. I usually just shoot and pictures turn out fine. However, tonight I'm trying to do some product pictures with this makeshift whiteboard studio I set up. I have one floodlight and two "daylight" bulbs set up to shine on the objects nd it looks really bright with the naked eye, but the pictures are turning out very yellow. With the flash ON and the lights OFF it looks great, except that it gets darker at the edges of the photo. Some of the objects i need to photograph are kind of large so that might be an issue. Can you take a look and offer any advice? Please keep in mind I have never really adjusted the settings on this camera so I would need very thorough instructions if I have to change something. Thanks!
