I have been taking photography courses for about three years now. I consider myself to have a good eye, and have been recommended for AP Photography in my school next year. However, one thing that has never gone too well for me is getting the proper depth of field. When changing aperture, I never notice any change in focus (ie: more in focus when going from f/8-f/16.) Why is this? Shouldn't I see more get in focus when I go from 8-16?

I need to find pictures for a collage of the shore/ocean "then and now. Are there any places where I can get pictures or sketches of the shore from about 100+ years ago?

The person is an art teacher and painter from China, so I'm not sure if there is a language barrier. Anyone know what a "uniform pair portrait" is? Thanks!

Every time I try to sell an excellent piece of artwork, one or few of the following always happens:

1) I'll give a person a contact card, but I always get the famous line "I'll give you a call for sure!" They never call.
2) I try to advertise... I tried once in a newspaper... but I don't ever get any reply.
3) I show them off to few people, they absolutely love it, but never want to pay how much it's worth... i usually charge $65 or even $50, or they always broke.
4) I even tried few art stores, but no luck.
5) I posted them on the Internet, and had my sign-in name on messenger set to the link of the site, and told them they're for sale.
Then people say that I'm not trying to make any money and I'm just wasting my talent? As hard as I tried?

What am I doing wrong??

i just bought a canon SD750. the sales man talked me into buying it, saying IS isn't really needed at a low light concert. it's more for sports shots. he told me all i really need to to turn up the ISO, and use the fireworks scene. is he mistaken or am i just being too skepitcal? i have a feeling i made the wrong decision.

hi - I was having a look at this portrait shot : http://www.wired.com/imageviewer/?imagePath=/images/article/magazine/1510/ff_scott_580_f.jpg&imageCaption=&imageCredit=Robert+Maxwell
and I was wondering how they get that "silvery" effect. what sort of lighting set up? Also what sort of flash would you use to get that light reflection in the eyes?

thanks!

To be fair, also keep this in mind, we did get married 7-7-7, the busiest wedding day recorded.

How long until proofs should have been provided?

How long from time the order was placed for prints to be returned?

How long from time the order was placed for our storybook album to be available for approval, then for it to be printed and completed?

Also, I should mention we are in a very small area/city...so it's not nearly the market a large city would have and it was his only wedding that day.

Ours has taken very long in my opinion, everything was required to be paid in full, in advance. Should I request some money back or additional prints or anything? I am very disappointed...but want a view from the other side.

I've some dwgs (sketches), I want to scan them in and maybe print out later. the original size is about 8x10. and I'll probably want to print the same size later.

150dpi, is that enough?I heard resolution more than that won't help... thanks.
