I'm taking a week long trip over to San Fran in late March, and I was wondering if anyone who has been there or lives there has any suggestions? Alcatraz looks like it could be photogenic. What about the San Francisco Botanical Gardens? Has anyone been to them? I had planned to go to the SF zoo too; has anyone been there? If so, what did you think? Any favorite exhibits? Thanks.

If it matters, it is called "Oil Colours" or something .... I got these paints from my aunt, who said she didn't use them much. I've never used oil paints before ... I don't exactly know what to do. I tried to look it up elsewhere on the Internet, and got kind of confused on different things ... do I HAVE to have thinner? what's turpentine for? the difference between oil-based and oil paints? gah! I'm pretty confused. And currently, I only have this one canvas thing that she gave me with the paints, and I don't want to waste it by using the paints incorrectly. When I want to get more canvases, too, how much moola? I don't got none moola! Hopefully I can coax my mom into buying me some, if they're sort of cheap ....

Also, what should I paint? flowers, maybe. I think I'll go with a flower, cause I'm not hugely artistically talented .... or maybe I should go with abstract .... I like abstract. I'm good at that. any ideas? Anyways ....

Your help is much appreciated.

According to Marilyn vos Savant (I believe her name is) of Parade paper, your image in the photos are largely determined by the lighting, the reversion, as well as many other camera factors. These factors also make your photographed image "less real". Does anyone know what these "other camer factors" are?
Professional photographers know these camera factors including the liighting and light their subjects to the best of their advantage. But, how come many school photographers don't seem to know how to do their job right according to many students' reactions to their photos?
