Visual Arts - September 2007

I am living right now in a very poor and primitive country in Asia and being not look like a foreigner, I am afraid of taking my precious digital camera and taking photos. When I have done that in the past, some people ran after me asking for taking them a photo. Others have asked me, why do you take photo and where will you publish them. I mean it is a little difficult to take professional photos when you walk alone in a poor country with your costly SLR camera.

It will be about the height and width of an average radiotor. Can anyone find me a website that will give me step by step idiot proof help?

I have a Canon 400D and I am currently shooting in P Mode.
Although, I'd like to get more versatile with the camera and start shooting in Manual.
Basically, I just need to know what the settings need to be at when I'm shooting during the day when it's sunny, and during the evening.
ISO, Aperture, etc.

Thank you all in advance!!

The wedding was 11 years ago, photos were taken with film, received proofs of all photos. I now want to order more than the original package I had bought but the photographer is deceased and his studio closed. No one, as far as I know, has bought his inventory or his studio. I would like to get more pictures printed from the proofs but it wouldn't work when I took the proofs to Walgreens to scan and print. The guy at the photo counter was no help and I don't know what to do now. Thanks for any input.

I'd like to upgrade to DSLR, but after buying a body (D80) I will only have about $250 to spend on a lens. I've read lots of reviews on the cheaper models and they all seem to have lots of negatives, be it slowness, distortion, fringing, CA or softness. So I'm wondering if the cheap SLR lenses are just crap compared to good SLR lenses or if they are crap compared to point and shoot lenses as well.

Also, what would be the cheapest Nikon (Nikkor, Tarmon, Sigma...) lens is that will outperform the best point and shoot lenses like Sony's Carl Zeiss and Panasonic's Leica.

I brought home with me a painting of Saddam Hussein, painted around sometime in the early 90's to late 80's, judging by the way Saddam looks in the painting and what he is wearing. It is from Iraq. He is in his Iraqi Military uniform in the painting, wearing a beret and glasses, its a very well done picture, and definitely original and one of a kind. It is painted on a piece of wood and looks like it was cut out of maybe a wall or something. What do you think this could be worth?

I am working with acrylics and attempting to make a skin tone.

Any advice on what to mix to make a tan or peachish color. I would assume red, yellow, and white, but i'm not sure. If anyone happens to know how many parts of whatever colors are needed, that would be great. The colors I have to work with are blue, yellow, red, white, and black.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine asked me to take a few pics of him playing football but I usually stick with landscape/nature photography so I'm not sure what film I should use or speed for my lens (I have a Nikon N75 and the AF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens).
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, I have recently been selling shirts that i have designed on custom ink and that they have printed. But what i want to do know is to print them myself. Now I have read and watched alot of viedos on silk screening and burning screens and all that jazz. But the one obstacle I have to get over is the fact that i dont have photoshop or any of that stuff to design everything to my exact liking (lenght and width wise) . Everything i designed has either been on customink.com or stuff ive sketched out with pens and crayons. So my two plans were to either go down to a graphics store and see if they could recreate the images onto thier computers and make the grapchis bigger and to the size i want. Or i could ask one of my friends who is good with photoshop to try and recreate them from customink and my drawings. So in your opinion do you think recreating designs with various ranges of intricacies would be somethin that would be easy or just a plain hassle.
