Can lenses be changed outdoors? If I am using a 50MM lens and want to put on a 24MM lens, can this been done when I am shooting outside in the daytime?
I know with a SLR Film Camera this is dangerous, but can it be done with a Digital SLR Camera?

In practice I have found this very difficult to do - either i don't get circles or the paint is peaking when I take the end of paint brush, stick, q-tip off. any answers appreciated.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a few months, and we really want to get some pictures of us together. We have a disposable camera which we took about 20 pics from the holidays.
We want to have more pictures of us together, but what do you take pictures of when there aren't any events going on?

For greyscale shading in comics they use these sheets of film with different values. They usually use it for Manga type comics. I need to get some but I can't rember the name of the stuff. Please tell me what it's called.
Thank you.

When viewing most modern art, art that is less figurative, less representative, how important is the title of the work to you in your assessment of the work’s value? Do you ever feel the title is non-essential, or perhaps thrown in as an afterthought? Do titles, based on your personal viewing experience, often (or perhaps rarely) reflect the message the artist is conveying? Or perhaps it detracts from the paintings itself? Perhaps you feel abstract art doesn't need titles?

More importantly, does the title ever enhance the work, enabling you to better understand where the artist’s life, mind and heart was when the painting (or any other modern art) was being created?

Here is an example. Does the title add to or detract from the value or message the artist has to offer? Does the title fit the painting? Does the title influence how you see the painting and feel what the artist is trying to say?

I've been drawing in Adobe Flash and when I flip the images of characters so I can have them facing the other direction they look weird. This happens when drawing with a pencil too. I think they look decent on the original but it's like a completely different drawing when it's flipped. Here is an example http://tinyurl.com/v35ve I drew the girl on the left and the right image is flipped. She looks like she's falling back on the right and her head looks misshaped and everything looks weird. Her arms and feet also look really different. What is the problem and how do I fix it? Please don't suggest things you haven't tried.

I recently went to a place where paintings were sold and pretty much the only type of art was futuristic, mixed media stuff. I was sort of disappointed because I love classic style paintings. The bold colors and light/dark contrast in baroque period art was beautiful. Are the old styles dead for good?
