What's the best black and white for contrasty images and low noise?
And what's the best colour negative for low noise but great colours (not portraits)?
I don't want big long technical answers of how film works or to be told to enrole into photo school. I just want a plain simple answer.

i'm buying oil paints and brushes and possibly canvas as a christmas present for someone that i'm currently dating. i was wondering what the best brand of oil paint is and about how much does it cost, as well as with the brushes.

i have somwhat of a limited fund of money at the moment but i'll do just about anything to get those paints.

also, how many colors would be suggested if the person does landscapes? i know that if there's a river or a lake or something of the sort they usually use the same blue for the sky, if that's of any help.

No, this is not the ever-present "I need to add color" question.

When converting a color image to B&W, my images, even if they have great contrast, lack it in the conversion. What's wrong? An example is portraits. I take a great contrast portrait, then convert it to B&W. The subject looks "muddy."

If at all possible, please tell me what I'm doing wrong. And, if you could suggest a way without using Photoshop CS3/CS2. All I have to work with is PictureProject Software. I know this is not much, but if I had $600 to spend on photography, I would go for a nice lens, not a program.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Canon A560 that I use for photos of clothing on ebay. I recently switched from a Minolta SLR (film) that I've used for years. I've noticed with the Canon A560 that the colors aren't as accurate as I'm used to: a blue sweater with a purple tint will simply appear blue w/o any tint, or a sweater that's silver and black with gold highlights will somehow lose the gold. I've experimented with different lighting (250 watt - regular & tungsten) and played with the settings on the Canon (white balance, My Colors, etc). Whats the best way to achieve the color accuracy I'm looking for? This is frustrating since I never had these problems with the old film format.

I am painting Christmas jeans for daughter and am using acrylic paints mixed with fabric medium. The red I am using just soaks in to the denim and doesn't look red. I tried letting it dry and putting another coat, but no luck...it looks bad. Should I just use acrylic paint and no medium? I've seen really cute jeans on ebay with really bright colors....I thought it would be easy to achieve the same look!?

I have googled and used yahoo search engines and both only provide sites that show a few of his pictures but provides no information about his life, background in painting or what the value of his paintings is.
Does anyone know where and when he was born? What his paintings are worth? Where did he live?

I'm taking a photography class and I want a camera with a really detailed picture that doesn't blur up a whole lot when I want to zoom in, etc.

I want it to look as close to professional photography as I can.

I also have a limit for something between $100 and $325.



Thanks it advance! :)

I have a photo that I am about to send off as a christmas card. It is a beach cruiser (bike) wrapped in christmas lights at sunset. The problem is I couldn't plug in the lights when I took the picture, but want to try to make them look like they're on. Can anyone explain, or point me to a tutorial, on how I can birghten the individual bulbs?
