Visual Arts - November 2007

Canon Rebel Xti
Nikon D40X
Nikon D50
Nikon D70

I am thinking about buying one of them at ebay, and I would like to get some advice because these can be almost the same price.

I will be taking some digital photography class at college next semester, and I am a beginner for professional digital cameras.

I would like to learn more about cameras in the future, so I am thinking to get one which I can use for long time.

Is there any suggestion???

Thanks.

I want to make an art website which will be a large collection of old paintings of masterpiece. And the artist will be classified by the art movement and all of the works of a certain artist will be listed.
I have asked a question yesterday :The copyright about old oil painting? url http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylc=X3oDMTE1MmI4N2IyBF9TAzIxMTU1MDAxMTgEc2VjA2Fuc19ub3QEc2xrA3N1YmplY3Q-;_ylv=3?qid=20071125063934AAEZESt

And I am very puzzled that how can these website do the same work without disobeying the copyright law?
Such as http://www.allposters.com/ ,which has over 300,000 posters, can they get the copyright of every painting?
Such as http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/, over 50,000 masterpiece paintings included, is it within the law? How can they do this?

and the http://www.oceansbridge.com/ and so on.
I have a large collection of masterpiece paintings. The digital photograph is not collected through the internet. All of them are masterpiece which are before 1900.

My digital camera is slowly dying and becoming more and more of a hassle to use. I'm considering buying a new one, but I'm not sure exactly what models I should be looking at. I'm a high school student taking a photography class, but I use a basic, fully-manual film camera for assignments. I want to get a digital camera that has optional manual features (automatic but can be adjusted manually). I'd like a fairly good camera but I have a limited amount of money (let's say $300 at most, even though I don't have that much), and I've decided I can't afford an SLR. Also, I'd like the camera to have at least 7 or 8 mega pixels, but you can find that now in almost any basic point-and-shoot camera on the market today. Is all of this possible, or will I have to compromise in some way? Thanks for any help you all can give me!

I've watched episodes of Americas Next Top Model and always wondered what type of camera's the photographers are shooting with. They will have the camera in some way hooked up to a computer and the pictures come up on the screen as soon as they take it.

Does anyone know the type of cameras and computer software they use for these shoots?

By this I mean you pour your heart and head into a project and afterwards are mentally and/or emotionally drained. But the urge to paint is still there. So, to creatively unwind do you ever do a little less serious art just to keep the flow going? Like paint just for the fun of painting?

If so, do you still take pride in your ‘dummy downed’ efforts, your silly fun stuff?

Want to guess which one of these I had to unwind after doing?

(And as always you can click or double click on the images to enlarge them.)

Personally, I kinda like doing the fun stuff.

Personally, I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone asked "How do you make a picture with everythig black and white and one thing in color?" Don't these people notice the "similar question" feature that pops up? What ones are you tired of seeing?

Wife paints landscapes and then enhances them afterwards. It give it a distinct look but it is easily copied. We haven't seen this style before and she's starting to sell pieces. How can we protect from other people just copying her?

Well I've been watching some cartoons because i want to see what kind of "styles" other producers use. But i was wondering how i can find mine. Like Butch Hartman (creator of Fairly Odd Parents/Danny Phantom) has this cool style. And all creators have "styles" so i was wondering how i could find my own.
