Visual Arts - September 2007

I am beginning calligraphy, and I'd like to know what kind of brush is best--that is, easiest to control, and one that produced consistent lines and strokes. What kind of material or hair is best? And should I choose a soft, medium-soft, or hard-brisle bush?

I practice art quite a bit and have been practicing for a while. I'm pretty good, but just not as good as I want to be. I feel like I haven't been making much progress as far as advancing my skills goes. Any tips for helping me to advance? As far as art goes I'm into portraits and still life.

I am using Kodak Tmax 100 film for a depth of field project. For example when I set the aperture at widest opening 3.5 for my lens, in manual mode the scale blinks at the 2+ meaning I should increase exposure two stops so i adjust my shutter speed to the next higher speed. Is this right? In aperture priority mode the shutter speed sometimes reaches 1500 sec. I am confused but at the same time I want to learn.

I've seen a couple places that have it down to about 250 or 350. Would you trust these...at all?

Also, if you have any suggestions to websites where I can order it at a good price, but still get it..you know...reliabely...?

I have a question about my digital camera. Let me preface the question by saying that I am not extremely knowledgeable when it comes to digital cameras, but I can follow your response if you'll spell it out well.

Basically, the other night I was trying the trick with "Painting in the air" with a flashlight in the dark. I cranked the shutter speed to 20 secs. so that I could paint quite a bit. The pictures turned out perfectly.

Now. How do I slow down the shutter speed and do a similar picture in daylight? It seems that I can only take slow shutter pictures during the night. I tried to take pictures inside my house and oustide during the daytime, but as soon as I switched the shutter speed to a slower time, every picture I took was completely white.

What settings do I have to change to do something like that during the day. I was trying to take some kind of "Trace" speed blur picture of a car passing, but again - I just got an all white picture, nothing visible. Help please!

Are the photos faked in any way?

Is the guy standing with the ladder underwater? And the person at the top of the ladder above the pool?
Or are none of them underwater at all?
