I chase storms and I am looking into getting a camera that can capture them well. I edit my photos on the computer, so I am looking for a digital camera that works well in low-light conditions, I can manually adjust the exposure (f number and shutter speeds), and I could keep the shutter open to wait for lightning strikes. Prices would be helpful but I can look them up myself if needed. Any suggestions?

I was thinking of getting a 430EX for my canon rebel K2, but when I found out it cost $400, which is way out of my price range, I started looking elsewhere. I was reading freestyle, and I saw the sunpak powerzoom pz4ox II flash, and I thought it might be better for me on my budget.

I'm not a very serious photographer. I don't have 12 cameras, a five-thousand dollar studio and a darkroom. I have a very tight budget, and all I want to get out of a flash is to be able to have a more powerful one than my built in one and to be able to rotate it and bounce it off a wall so the lighting isn't so harsh. Not to say I want the worst one there is, I was just wondering if the sunpak powerzoom might be better for me, or if there's even better flash units out there.

All ideas will be considered

I have been invited to sign a 12 month exclusive contract with a reputable gallery that has great national connections and exposure.(this is my first such experience)

If you were in this position what would your top five important issues be.

I would love artists with or without gallery experience to give a top five list of artist centered ideals, to aid in my brainstorming before negotiating this contract.

Of course I have my own....but I think I am in a position to affect a bit of change. (not ego-maniac...just in a unique demographic position in many ways)

Please tell me what you think!!!
=)))))))))


THANK YOU!

Is there really any difference between Artists color pencils and like Crayola or any other brand? I have some Derwent brand color pencils now that I haven't opened yet because if Crayola or Rose Art are just as good I'm going to take them back.

Hello I purchased two prints / posters from an arts and crafts store and the artist listed is E.C. Sullivan. both are stylistic prints regarding horses. I was hoping to find other artwork from this artist or at least something about him or her--I can't find anything in wikipedia.org, ask.com, or google.com. I tried the image search on yahoo and google. Is there some other way I can look?

And what do you think about islamic calligraphy? Do you think it looks nice? I need your opinion about it

I think it has to do with temperatures in the kiln and glaze.

I have recently started painting with oils and have heard and read about people painting oil on board. I have no clue what this is??? I use stretched canvases and have noticed that a lot of the paintings that I love are said to be painted on board. I would really like to do this but like I said--I dont know what it is. Anyone???

Thanks,
Amy

I just got a camera off e-bay, and I'm thinking I may not have made the best choice, but I'm going to give it a chance first. I know this camera is supposed to be difficult to learn how to use, and I am a beginner, so I was wondering if anyone has used this camera and what they think of it. I am interested in really getting into photography and this is my first digital camera so any help would be great. Let me know if you have used it, if you liked it, and if it is a decent camera to start with. Once I can afford it I will get a better one.

recently, i'm looking for an inexpensive tripod to practice the bluring and panning effects.
Sunpak is considered the best brand to me for now.
I want to know which of the following model is the best.

SUNPAK 8001 UT-B medium duty TRIPOD
SUNPAK 9002 DX medium duty TRIPOD
SUNPAK Platinum Plus 5800D Medium Duty Tripod

since sunpak's website does not have the description for all model, i have no idea which one is considered the best.

I have posted this question in many forms and forums. It has been a few months now that I have added a great number of photos to flickr. My Yahoo 360 has the last six showing on my top page. Oops! No it doesn't. It shows some very old pictures I chose to get rid of because I didn't want to spend another month looking at them on my page. Now there is only the message there that they were deleted. This is no fun. Yahoo has been working the problem for months and frustrated too.

This quest has become indefinite.

In the Hooper painting Nighthawks there is an dark store across the street. In the otherwise empty front window is an object on a small raised platform that is in the shadow of the window frame. It is the only object left in the window? What does it look like to you?
