I'm very interested in photography as a hobbie. What can I do to learn about it? What the best way to start? Any book or cd that you'd recommend? Thanks.

I like drawing, but am constantly using just mechanical pencils and I have no skill at shading whatsoever. So my question is, does anyone know of a good brand of charcoals for drawing or a good place to find them? Preferably something not so cheap that they fall apart or rub off too easily, and not so expensive that I go bankrupt buying them.

I've been asked to do some promo artwork for a company. The artwork will be pictures with single characters and multiple characters respectively. A single character picture takes around 15 hours to complete. Some people have told me to charge by the hour, but I think it would be more fair to charge a flat rate based on how many characters are in the picture (I don't do backgrounds). Thanks for any suggestions.

Three Socket & Cordsets with Stand Mounts
Two 33" White Umbrellas

The picture or images could be a painting or any other image material that shows and/or describe the early discovery of the Philippine Archipelago by the Spanish Expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan or Ruy Lopez de Villalobos.

Is it at all possible to get any of the pictures in them developed after this long of a time? I would love to see at least a few because I believe they were from prom and a couple of other special events at the end of my school year. Please, if there is any hope let me know I just don't wanna go and pay to get nothing back.

I never took photography classes in High School. But i love doing purfect picture taking for the most weirdest reasons.

I love the idea of Art, since i love to edit my pics all the time that i take of myself and others.

Im planning on going to college for Nursing. But is there a way i can still be in college at the same time for photography (art) ?

I'm entering this photgraphy contest of a small group of people, and the category is 'Sleep'. I had the idea to go to a local cemetary and photograph someone's gravestone. The gravestones are not old nor am i related to any of the people at rest there. Is this disrespectful? Should i do this?

Hi all,

Thanks for looking.

I bought 2 self adhesive photo albums today. (Buy one get One free on selected albums & frames @ Boots - UK! lol)
http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1089243&classificationid=1049912&slmRefer=000

Now, I have used these types of album before but this time i need them to be perfect,
as they are to show all the new photography tricks I've learned with my new camera.

The problem is that no matter how many times i do it, i can never smooth out all of the creases in the film above the photos.
Then i started thinking maybe there is a trick to it that I'm not aware of!

So does anyone have any advice they could offer me for beating the creases back?

Many Thanks in Advance

Simon

I know he later sold it to the King of France. But the King was not his original client. Are there websites that discuss this?
