I assume that LED lights would be the best, but what kind? We have a wall (dry-wall) with a large section of it being translucent glass. We would like to make the wall light up from the bottom. How?

When you see a picture taken by an SLR or SLR-like digital camera compared to a regular compact point-and-shoot digital camera, there are obvious differences in quality.

What technology is responsible for the "professional" look in a photo taken by one of the SLR cameras? Is this why they cost so much more than regular cameras?

What's in a lens that make it so expensive?

Is it a trick of the light, dust particles, a digital glitch or as some people have said to me....paranormal phenomena...?

You can get them on 35mm too, but it mainly occurs on digital in my experience. Sometimes, theres loads and other times, theres just one HUGE one.

Extensive analysis and experimentation from myself indicates that sometimes, a light out of shot is involved (i do rock & roll photography mainly but also do scenic and portrait) but it is not always so when i reel off the same shot in the same position a split second later... I've tried taking pictures of disturbed dust particles and they do not create this 'orb' effect....sometimes, it appears to be totally random, like theres nothing that triggers it off.

Any suggestions or theories on this, and how I can prevent it? Thanks.

if thinking that it's art makes it so, can i nominate that cloud as art?
is it only art if i modify it in some way? what if i film that cloud and then project it as a hologram?
is it only art if one of the guardians of art have validated it by their approval and recognition.
is the concept of art meaningless?
is it all an ego racket: ie is there no difference between climbing the greasy pole of art as opposed to climbing the greasy pole of money?
arent art and money interchangeable?
dont the wealthy patron-ize art
and arty patron-ize money
all you need is the media to create the unholy trinity!

Besides simply using the catch-all phrase surrealism?

Many years back I got the idea to work in this 'style' from looking at photograph negatives. With negatives the colors seem to be inverse and I thought 'why not reverse and/or alter the normal colors most artists use?' After a lot of trail and error (it ain't easy to sketch out figures to paint on a black canvas) I've come up with what I think are cool effects. It's not exactly photonegative art now but it was born from the concept.

The problem is I'm clueless when asked to 'label' this style. Would you like to take a shot at doing so?

Thank you in advance for your serious and thoughtful replies.

i was just wondering what people thought about photography with regular digital cameras [ Like this one: http://www.occasion-numerique.com/images/appareil-photo-sony-cyber-shot-dsc-p93a-487.jpg ].

do you still consider it photography/art if its not taken with lets say a Canon Rebel or an expensive Nikon or a really good camera like that?

I am using pure copper wire in sculpture and would like to add some glass accents to the ends of the 12 guage wire. The problem is that I can not get the molten glass to take to the hot copper so I can spin and wrap it. The wire is clean and abraded and I have tried acid etching it also. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

does anyone know of a painting (oil) by m carlier (i think it is max carlier). The painting shows someone's den with a fireplace lit in the background. It is either 2 or 3 men either playing wooden instruments or carving/making wooden instrument(s).

I was told that it is over 100 years old.

It is very hard to read the signature, it is at bottom right hand corner in some orangish reddish paint and it looks like carlier, it even has his long extended down r.
