Visual Arts - December 2006

Now I dont ve any doubt that A 540 is the best camera which fulfils all my parameters. I am ready 2 buy this model. But....

2 day I have visited 2 different "Authorised Dealer" of Canon in Kolkata, India (Esplanade).The MRP of 540 is Rs 14500. 1 quoted a price of Rs. 12500(incl. Tax) another Rs. 12000(incl. Tax). Again I visited another shop (in the same locality) which is not the "Authorised Dealer" of Canon but sells Kodak, Fuji digicams and is a good shop. It quoted a price of Rs. 11500(incl. Tax). It will provide the bill, warranty card etc... Now the questions r:

1. Can it give me fake models of A 540?
2. Should I buy frm the "Authorised Dealer" by paying Rs. 500 xtra.
3. Will the price of Canon Cameras fall drastically in the next yr after the realease of new models?(If so I'm ready 2 wait 4 a few days)

Really I'm baffled. Please help. I'll forever ramain grateful to u 4 all ur valuable posts.

Yours
Sudip :-/

This has to be one of the greatest works of art in man's history. But I know little about it. Who painted it? When? Is it an oil painting? How much is it worth? And finally, where is the original? in an art museum or in the hands of a wealthy private collector?

What's the best brand of markers for coloring and such? I've hears Copic, but those are expensive like woah.

Maybe I should re-phrase this.

I currently use Photoshop CS. I have recently found out all of its capabilities after playing around with and looking at tutorials. Although I am sure I will improve over time, I can't help by notice that other photographers editted photos look almost unrealistic and full of fantasy. What other photo retouching programs are out there? Or the best? Or a reasonable one?

It looks like a painting of a dream. It's not a Dali. One of the most interesting paintings I've ever seen. I could stare at it for hours- you see something new every time. For instance, what appears to be a mirror is actually a window.

1. A Florence wife possessed a knowing smile,
and dark mysterious eyes that did beguile.
Her portrait "La Gioconda" rose to fame.
Although we know her by another name.

What is the more common name of Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting "La Gioconda?" It's three words.


2. Please type (with care) Da Vinci's given name.

Was the film transparent or translucent? And was the ink something like today's acrylics or something totally toxic?
