that people take black and white pictures with regular digital cameras and say its art and its photography and when they have no experience in photography..
that really annoys me

So sitting back watching a big event at night time on the TV.

Lets say the opening of the Olympics at night, in the stands there are hundreds of flashes going off.

How will the flash reach the scene and reflect back to the lens?

Do you know anyone whos tried? Did they get back dark results?

Comments?

Trust me, I tried. And I wasted half an afternoon and a lot of paint and couldn't get it right. I came close to the right color, but couldn't get the 'sheen' or 'sparkle' from my blended paints.

It pisses me off when I have to admit there are some things I simply can't do. After fighting my ego I finally I gave up and headed to Dick Blick's and bought a jar of the stupid stuff. Both Liquitex and Golden have 'Gold' paint, but it ain't cheap. Still, it was cheaper than wasting paint trying to get the right effect.

So, in case the need should ever arise again, how would you mix the right colors (with acrylics) to get the shinny gold effect?

Well, it's only really the first one that I know about. Someone posted a question that was really just a flame at another member. The complaint was that, although the person had been helpful, the answer was tinged with sarcasm. I politely suggested that the poster might want to remove the question before it was reported, as it was definitely a personal attack that Yahoo! would not tolerate. I see that the question has been removed and all of this asker's questions are now moarked "Private," so you can't see them. I guess that was easier than removing them one-by-one. If you check the profile, it now reads, "I'm gone..." Maybe that's just a cool thing to say, but I have a feeling that the member changed the profile today and quit. Who knows.

As far as the sarcasm, I looked up several answers from the flamed one to the offended one and, frankly I think the asker must be rather thin-skinned, because I didn't see anything that was horribly offensive or insulting.

I have inherited two small oil paintings by this artist and can find no record of him/her. I think it is either a Victorian or Edwardian artist. Any information would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, my friends and I are planning a photoshoot next week mainly for fun but also for furthering my photographic skills. It's my first time to do a planned photoshoot, most of my shots are spontaneous, street and experimental. So I think I'm really going to be conscious of thinking beautiful poses, angles, concepts for a photograph. I use a Canon A700, a point-and-shoot digital camera, not that I'm bettling my camera (I love my camera) but it does have its limitations like not having the capability of adjusting DOF (unlike dslrs) which is very essential in portrait photography...

As much as I love natural lighting in photographs, I also want to take it to another level like using studio light. But I'm really really clueless when it comes to it. What should I start with?

I'm always so disappointed when I pick up an art instruction book that promises to teach even the most non-artistic artist to draw well and see the shopping list. I own an ordinary HB pencil, and I don't really have the resources to own anything more.

Is it possible to do all that fancy shading without fancy pencils? If so, how do I shade like a pro with an HB pencil alone?

Please help! I've had enough of my paper doll portraits!
