Heres my problem. Since I was a wee lad I loved art and I was always quite good at it. My teachers all said I was gifted and I received several recognitions and awards in highschool for my paintings, drawings, etc. but I never even heard of graphic design or knew how to use a computer. At the age of 23 I went to an Art School and received a BFA in graphic design (thinking this would be the practical degree). I struggled with completing this degree and found that most of my classmates were much better at graphic design than I am. I never quite got it. I always seemed to do work that was fine artsy or political. When I graduated I was left with a portfolio that I found to be disappointing. I was never very proud of my work and lost confidence in myself as an artist. Can you loose your talents? Can some one be bad at graphic design but great at fine art?

I am trying to learn my camera. I have a Canon EOS Rebel X (film camera). When I take a reading, and my camera gives me (what it thinks) is the correct shutter speed/aperture, but lets say, the reading is not accurate for low light situation. If I want to take a shot of what the camera says is accurate, and also want to take the same photo but over expose it by a stop and under expose it by a stop to see the different results...how would I do this? If the camera says the correct exposure is 1/30 f 5.6...would I change it to 1/60 f 5.6 or change the fstop? How would you change the settings to get 3 different looking photo's of the same subject?

Keeping in mind a beginner is taking the pictures. I will be able to develop the pictures myself in a black room and what not. :)

What sort of scenery looks better black and white?
What poses should my "models" take for the picture to look good?
Is there anything else I should know?

Is anyone familiar with the lightsphere II that Gary Fong created?
Its suppose to be a diffuser that projects light from your camera's flash. Does it really illuminate enough light that you wouldn't need studio lights indoors?

I recently got wedding digital wedding photo's from my sister. An on-line photo service printed my pictures. However, they came out funny. I noticed two white stripes on the 4x6. I found out that photographers use a big format ratio. How can I easily crop the digital image down to right ratio used by 4x6 prints? I need an easy way that allows me to pick the region I want to use. I don't want to cut off people's heads.

He or she has been around for several decades because I remember the work 20 years ago. The artwork has a very sensual feeling to it and the flowers tend to resemble the female anatomy.
