ok im still on this photography and lens sharing info forum buzz thing so please all contribrute

so a zoom lens not a prime, lets say a 70-200mm, at what focal lenght will the lens be sharpest?

70mm / 200mm or 135mm?

if you know give a reason, if you dont cool give a number and a theory or just a number

My thanks is 2 points to all + one luck person will be chosen, if its a tie then best theory/explaination gets the big ten.

Ive been told the answer but it could be wrong?its got to do with the distance between the elements in the lens.

lets say a highly reflective object, what type of lighting do you prefer?

defussed, bounced, key, backlight, fill light, flash on/off camera?

watts and distance if you want, more want to know just angles etc.

example can be a cell phone lcd screen.

all contributions really apprieciated.

I purchased some paintings from him thirty years ago. They are still my favorites. Is he well thought of? Still located in Bali? Am I rich?

Does anyone know the value of any paintings by Karl E. Wood? I have one but can't find a value for any of his paintings. I know his work is considered "fine art" and is renown in Canada.

The past 2 years - and possibly even before I worked here, we have worked on something called the "NOVA" awards, which is a type of marketing award contest put out by the American Marketing Association.

I am technically in the marketing department, though I am a designer and not part of this particular association, though I am a member of the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) - the equivalent, of AMA but for designers. Our department now consists of 3 marketing personnel, 3 designers and our manager.

For this contest, the advisors get together and discuss which pieces they would like to enter in the NOVA awards. They generally pick 3 campaigns to enter, though last year they picked four. (continued)

Hi, you know those photography sites that have pictures of events and you can view the pictures and buy them, but you can't copy or save them, because when you right click something usually comes up saying something like. "This site does not allow pictures to be saved, but you can buy the pictures" how would i be able to copy or save the pictures without buying them
Thank You
Johnny

Whenever I paint something, it just looks so elementary....I have a horrible time thinking of something to paint.....and I always critique myself and worry what others' opinions of my works will be....I believe I'm an artistic person but it definitely doesn't show in my artwork....How can I become more creative and make it show in my paintings?
Thanks

Hi,

Moved into an old house and found 4 paintings. 3 of them are signed "B.C. Miner" One of those is dated 1951. The 3 B.C. Miner paintings are all of flowers/fruit.

The other is signed "Louise Umstead". On the back is written "Emma Louise Umstead - Collegeville, PA 1944".
That painting is of a drama mask and flowers.

I have a feeling B.C. Miner may be Gilber B. Miner. Simply because that was an artist from this area, and that era. But no way of knowing.

Ive been searching like crazy but don't know what to do next. Is there any chance they have value?

I appreciate any help!

Hi, I was sitting in the stands and took this photo on a Pentax Digital Isd... kitted up with a 200mm lens.. running pretty fast. Do you think it's a worthy shot?

A friend of mine made a "scrapbook" come to live on DVD with music for her son's graduation. She hired an imaging company to do it for her.

I would like to get started in a business like that. I do not know where to begin. I would like to do that for my family and friends as well as start a business for profit.

Where can I get a camera, computer, computer program etc. that does that. The computer I own is older (has Windows 98) and doesn't have a CD burner. Where do I begin? What are the steps to take? Any idea the cost to start up?
