In order to give my own website a better design I'm comparing some random websites and would like to know what people think about some webdesigns.

Please take a look at this website: http://www.ciao.co.uk
and describe what you like or dislike about this design (not about the company), so please focus on color, look & feel, graphics, functionality etc..

Yesterday me and my boyfriend had some professional photo's taken of us together. The problem is they are going to send us the actual photo's and we want to copy them to give to other members of the family. What is the best way of making copies of them but keeping the quality? Can i take them to a photo processing shop and ask them to put them on a cd?

Do you use a different blue to paint the sky or water, or do you use your favorite blue in general to paint everything?

Do you ever use two different blues on the same painting?

I want to start teaching myself photography because i cant afford to take a class in it. My question is, what is a really good digital camera for that....good quality but i am a college kid on her own so i'd like to keep the price low. Also, what do people use to edit photos for example make some things color in a black and white picture? Is it just photoshop?

I have a Kodak EasyShare C340

It worked at first for the most part.... but for some reason the batteries wouldnt keep it charged. I sent it in to get fixed and they claimed they fixed it but it wasnt. So I just left it alone and tested different batteries and then one random day it decided to work.

THEN... for Spring Break I brought it to Jamaica and for the first few pictures it worked but after about 3 all of a sudden all of my pictures have these vertical lines on them. If i take pictures of landscapes its all white. If it's upclose sometimes it gets a face but the background has all these white lines on it. The color is disoriented.

I'm so sick of trying to take it in anymore because it seems like all they do is send it off and give it back 2 weeks later saying it's fixed with no change.

Anyone know what could be wrong... or should I just get a new digital camera?

(I feel bad getting a new one. My parents gave me this for Xmas about a year and a half ago...)

Help!

Many a time I’ve studied models in fashion and photo magazines for inspiration when wanting to paint a portrait and quite often I am impressed and sometimes amazed by the expressions conveyed in the poses, by the settings themselves or by a combination of both.

I’m just wondering how such impressions are created? How much of it comes from the coaxing or coaching of the photographer? How much of it is left up to the model to provide? What percentage of these wonderful expressions and impressions are purely spontaneous? What percentage come about by ‘accident.’ By accident I mean you take a hundred photographs and a few are usable. And what percentage of the settings, the backdrops are chosen by the photographer and what percentage is ‘suggested’ or ‘demanded’ by the client (like by a magazine or dressmaker, etc.)?

I spoke with a professional photographer from Europe who told me he can not find any public art shows or even art galleries in the U.S. that would agree to exhibit photographs of nudes he has taken, even so called 'art photos.' It's not that he needs the money. He's had exhibits of his work at the Smithsonian (but they don't exhibit nudes, obviously). I am looking to find art shows where I can sell photos of nudes I've taken, but I don't want to waste my time applying if that's the case. I submitted a few samples to one gallery owner in Washington, DC (Not the Smithsonian ; ) and she said they'd be happy to display my other work--like cityscapes--but no nudes because 'families' attend the shows. Is that basically the response I'm going to get? If so, I don't want to waste my time. It does seem a bit silly to me since I see photos in Mademoiselle and Vogue that are no less risque than mine.

I'm planning to get some model(s) together soon to set ups some photo shoots. I don't have a studio so most of my
subjects are shot outdoors. I'm looking to find some cool places to do some shooting with a model or two. Fashion oriented or eclectic people photography.
I live in the South Bay area near the Beach Cities i.e Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan Beach.

I need to find some other LA spots to variate the background/ local of these shots. City spots, other beaches, Plazas, Parks whatever.
Any location suggestions will be helpful.

My exclusive shooting area would be 13x11, the office, storage, waiting and showcase area would be completely seperate. Approximately how many people do you think I could fit into that space?

Thanks!

Rembrandt peint Bethsabée d'après un modèle vivant, sa compagne Hendrickje Stoffels, dont on reconnaît aisément le visage. L'ampleur monumentale de ce nu, à grandeur humaine, est exceptionnelle dans l'oeuvre du maître. Nudité d'un corps chéri, que le peintre se plaît à détailler dans les plis de cette chair triomphante, dont il relève l'érotisme par la légèreté transparente d'un voile et la délicatesse orfévrée des bijoux. Cette sensualité offerte à notre regard, cause du péché imminent, contraste avec l'air profondément triste de la jeune femme. La position de la tête, au profil idéalisé, a été savamment réfléchie. La radiographie du tableau nous apprend, en effet, que Rembrandt l'avait tout d'abord peinte levée vers le ciel, choix bien moins judicieux que cette douce inclinaison. Une grande part du charme du tableau réside d'ailleurs dans la tension du personnage de Bethsabée, soumise à sa destinée, et dont le regard résigné se perd douloureusement dans le vide.

I want to start selling my artwork. Right now I just draw dragons. Does anyone know a good website where I can start doing this? I've tried ebay and they charge a seller's fee. I wasn't too impressed with deviantart either. I don't want to pay any fee up front. Anyone know any good websites? Better yet, does anyone know how to create a personal website?
