Thanks in advance! I'm not a strobist, and need help!
I'm using a Nikon D50, and have been asked to take some photos of high school wrestling.
1) flash: I don't have a external unit, so I am considering sb-400 and sb-600. Since the gym ceilings are so high, I am assuming bouncing off them is no help. I'm not getting paid for this, so I don't want to go spend alot of $$$, but I want it to be decent. Is a speed light going to be much better than the on-camera flash? (I will be at the mat, which is 40' wide - so most shots will be w/in 20')
Also, if I do get an external, should I buy or build a bounce card?

2) off the flash topic, but: if i were to try to sell reprints to parents, what are the legal issues
a) if it is a cropped shot of only the 1 person (who may or not be a minor)
b)if someone else (ref, other wrestler) is in the pic)

3) I want some of the pics to be mostly black and white, but some color, how do I do that????? (just kidding)

In my digital photography class we have to portray reflection.
Reflection is easy. Reflection is everywhere. But I'm a very creative person. I'm not the average, taking a picture of you in the mirror.

I need some more creative ideas.
With you're ideas, please explain how to do it. And what props need to be in there.

Thanks in advance.

There are obvious forms of self-expression, such as writing, painting, engaging in sexual activity, and dancing. Can you think of some less obvious ones? And, for you, what is your favorite vehicle for self-expression and why?

My favorite is dancing because that is when I feel most free. I feel limited when writing because of the words available to me. With painting, I feel limited by the colors.

I realize that with dance, my own ability can be limiting, but that is true for other forms as well.

'Utopia'

There -
The not-place:
Island of ideals, paradise perfection,
Where,
In fields of gold,
Life is peace and Earth is free;
There,
Pure harmony,
No suffering, and eternal youth.

Here –
The ill-place:
Decaying paradise’s grave
Where,
In fields of blood,
The bullet rules and lies are truth;
Here,
Ideals exist,
But exist alongside man:
The element of destruction.

I want to be an actress and I've tried everything. I don't live in a big city and there really aren't any classes here and no acting coaches. I want to make my dream come true, but sometimes I feel like there is no hope for me. It's very depressing at times, but I keep telling myself that if I have faith, then maybe my big break could come. My dream is to win an Oscar when I'm 17 or 18. I want to be the youngest person to ever win one in the 21st cenutry....(im 15 now) it seems impossible....I know. But I believe that it could happen, maybe anything could. But how am I going to reach my goal when I have no experience? When I haven't even really acted before? I need help. I need to find a good teacher or good classes close to me. Can anybody recommend any? Does anyone know any good acting teachers that would be willing to help me? I'm in Baltimore, MD, by the way...it's really not a big city. If anybody can help me, please speak up.

Thank you

Just a hypothetical question my friends and I like to bounce around.

If someone offered you $5 million to run over a baby at 100mph...would you do it?

Why or Why Not?!

Is it an archetypal image used in literature? What about Atwood's reference in her poem 'Red Shirt'?

There was a well known ancient philosopher who said something along the lines of the world being made up of opposites, and in order to experience good you must also experience bad, like being rich and poor.
Does anyone know which philosopher believed that?

*****
Water

Falling down around the edges
Pooled droplet domes
A crease in the sand
Trickling, flowing
Directionless meandering
Joins the enjoined, tributary
To stream, and river’s torrent
Engulfed, saline fusion
Sea to Ocean current
Challenger Deep
Evaporation

*****

Time

Upon my watch, three hands tell me the time,
The mirror shows a different degree,
Forgotten thoughts with words that do not rhyme,
Meander down the road to lunacy.

Shine your shoes up!
Put on your tie!
Let’s go outside…
And find a place to fly!

Come and gone for me to see, believed,
The ocean tides, rivers wide, crimson sky,
How will I know when God has called to me?
Upon my watch, three hands tell me the time.

Hi! I'm Italian, from Sorrento, a little city near Naples. If you like Harry Potter, you had sure read the last book! Well, in Italy it will be in sale only from the 5th January! Grrrrrrrrr...
The Italian title will be "Harry Potter e i Doni della Morte", in English "Harry Potter and the Presents of the Death". You had read the 7th book? Did you enjoy it? Or now you are disappointed? Please, NO SPOILER!!
Thanks!

p.s: my favourite charachter is Luna Lovegood!
