Hi there, I realized that in photography, when you are using a DSLR and pump up your ISO, if can get noisy at times.

But however, there are also times when I pump a 350D camera to it's maximum at 1600, it doesn't produce any visible noise in the photo at all.

Can someone explain the rational behind, what actually causes noise to occur and how can we avoid it when using high ISO??

I placed a photo on my friends grave but not long after it faded. I would like to make another one but I'm not sure if there is a specific way to laminate the photo or gloss it so that it will not fade away as fast?

Then, this painting was brought to some snooty art gallery (what they are so snooty about, the world may never know, since all they sell is garbage to a modern public that has very questionable taste). The gallery owner was asked about it and how much it could be worth. She said it looked like a Pollack and could be worth $500,000. She went on to praise the way pictures' "painterly brush strokes" were beautifully executed, and such. Within 3 minutes, she had taken on the smug air of a typical gallery dealer, as if she had a deeper understanding of this painting than most people. When she was finally told it was done by a chimpanzee she felt like an ***, and tried to look as dignified as possible.
There is something fundamentally wrong with a society that rewards "artists" that create meaningless crap that requires no skill, and arrogantly shuns skilled painters of realism that have studied painting, drawing and anatomy for years.

Well Im entering into this scholarship contest and it requires me to make a free account on their site and post pictures, videos, or blogs. The site and scholarship are circled around issues facing the world today. Issues meaning anything to do with politics to environmental topics. So I love taking pictures of things like a hobby and decided to post pictures as my entry into the scholarship. My idea is based around recycling. So I need help on some ideas, since my grandfather recycles bottles for cash, I have hundreds of them here, and wanted to do something that made the idea of recycling stand out. Here are a few clues that I wanted to use along with the bottles, but just want help on raking in ideas with these clues: water, global warming, pollution, littering. It would be a very great deal of help for me if anybody could help me get some ideas on what I could take pictures of dealing with recycling... and these bottles. lol

I want a celtic cross tatoo with a black rose in the center and 17 small rose buds in the cirle part for my brother in law who passed away last July. Ive been to a couple of tatoo parlers but they charge like $20 to draw a design for you. This tatoo will mean a great deal to me so I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get one drawn for free. I live close to Houston Texas...On the north west side..not in city limits. Every little bit helps...Thanks

I have Photoshop Elements, but I really need to know the opinions of everyone else.

I've been working on an illustrated graphic novel (the plotline and character descriptions) for about three or four years off and on..and then, I only used graphite..but now I have a 9 x 12 inch Adesso graphics tablet and I'd like to know the simplest, most effective program that would work with my tablet. Digital art as in ink and coloring scanned works..not photo-manipulation.

Thanks in advance!

I have a watercolor painting about 6 X 30 in size(approximate) that I need help with info on the artist. I bought this at an auction because it is very interesting. Its a painting of a lake with houses surrounding it and all the houses have red roofs. Some simple boats on the water and a few people walking along the water. The people seem to look like they are mexican. (possibly wearing mexican sumbreros)? The Signature looks like PIACENTE? its hard to tell because the signature is sweeping at the n. The signature also has a u type sweep over the c. If anyone can tell me any info I would greatly appretiate it.
