Desperately seeking a blank, unlined book with at least 150 leaves, preferably hardcover. Dimensions no larger than 7x9". It needs to lay flat when opened.

Most important consideration - it needs to have a flexible binding that can accommodate inserts and page buckling from painting, without the fore edge of the book splaying open. In other words, when unused, the spine has to be at least twice as thick as the fore edge so the book can be filled with inserts.

Scrapbooks won't work; they never have enough pages. I found some scientific lab notebooks online with expandable bindings, but they're all too large (13" and up).

I know I could bind one myself, but would rather not. I'd also rather not take a regular blank book and remove pages, since most normal books only have 150-200 pages to begin with ( so I'd be left with fewer pages than I want).

Does anyone know if such a product exists?

I still can't decide which one will be best for me. I'm leaning toward the Nikon D80 over the Canon Rebel XTi but I don't want to end up making the wrong decision. I know a con for the Nikon is that there is no RAW conversion software included, but I will most likely be shooting in jpg-at least for awhile. I have heard that the Canon sometimes shuts off when in burst mode-I will be doing infant shoots so I don't want the camera to shut down when I'm firing away trying to capture the shot. If you own either of these could you please give me your opinion-
quality of photos
battery life
ease of use
problems with memory cards (sd vs cf)
is the dust reduction in the Canon a true deciding factor
which brand is easier to upgrade with
what is your lens of choice

I know most will say it's a personal choice and it depends on which feels more comfortable in your hand, but I would like to get as many opinions as possible to try to help me decide.

Thanks in advance.

I am an amateur photographer and find it impossible to get the attention of young children whilst trying to take a photo. I think this is an amazing talent. It requires the ability to captivate their attention whilst also getting the them to smile and having the precise timing to capture "the moment".

Tips are welcome. All the portrait types that i have tried end up with the children distracted and looking "off shot". Do i have to wear some silly costume with bells and whistles just to get them to look. Magicians answers welcome

Can anyone please give me some sites that have e-cards or just little cartoon-type things where you can place in a picture of yourself. For example...a blank spot where the head is for your photo... THANKS!!

I'm making some brochures for my social studies class. I'm wondering about where it is okay to put the credit (my name) on the brochure. I think that most brochures have the credit on the back pannel, but is it okay to put it on the front of the brochure (especially if there is not a lot of graphics)?

Also, how much graphics should I have on the front cover? Is it okay to just have a border and the title (fancied up)? I don't want to have it cluttered or empty.

I went to a tennis match(Venus Williams). I'm two rows off the court, which was about 10 feet from the action and I still didn't get the "close-up" photos I thought I would. Using the kit lens 18-55mm that came with camera, and that will NOT cut it. Do I need a zoom lens? Help please

I have a photogrpahy project due that can be on any subject as long as the 10 photos I have to take are connected in some way. However, my parents don't allow me drive and they don't want to take me anywhere to find things to take photos of. They keep telling me to take pictures of things in the neighborhood. I did that last semester and my teacher told me he wishes I would go an explore other places. He gave me the benifit of the doubt then but this semester he wants something different from me. I told my parents but they don't listen or care. Then think i'm just being difficult. They don't understand that my professor wants to see artisting and interesting things. Anyone have any ideas of things I can take photos of in my house or in basic neighborhood that would be interesting.
