How well do little cheapy lasers work?? Any problems with wavelength not showing up well?? I was thinking about using various tips to light a subject. Maybe a person, maybe refected in smoked reflective glass.

Has anyone shot a "fire twirler"(sp??). Any unforeseen problems, or suggestions??

How about fiber optic lighting? Suggestions??

Im a shy person so it takes me awhile to loosen up to people. So taking portrait pics of someone you JUST met is difficult for both me and my subject. What are some Good Icebreaking techniques
1) for me to feel more comfortable, take away some of my nervousness???
2) put the subject at ease in front of the camera to get that "natural" feeling in there pose???

I have a natural eye for photography. I have been asked to do some professional work. I am getting ready to make a camera and lens purchase. However, I lack in basic photography terminology and knowledge. An "eye" is great, but I need some education. Terms, lighting, and everything else to boot. lol.

Can anybody give me some excersies that you can do with your subject to loosen them up or make them more comfortabl infront of the camera... Scenario; I was talking pictures (nude) once of a friend of mine and she was relly nervous , I became really nervous as well (hot naked girl), im not a profesinoal, and I became really frustrated because I felt as soon as she took her cloths off she became really tense, i thaught that being the photog it was my responsability to lighten the mood or make her feel comfortable... anyways the pictures turned out horrible, so im wondering what other people do??? I let her take some pics of me, so the camera didnt feel so forieng and we made animal noises, like if you were a barn animal what noise would you make... what are some excersises that you do with your subjects???

I've had a photoblog for a few months and I know I've had about 10,000 hits or so, but just 2 comments. I know people rarely leave comments on photoblogs (unless maybe they're your friends). Does anyone have an idea where I could post requests for comments for example, by announcing it on a forum or group without seeming pushy? I noticed that the national Magazine "MAXIM'S" has a photoblog and even they rarely get comments.

There was an article on an artist(I believe japanese). The best way I can describe it is pop-modern

I am taking an art class and am in need of suggestions or ideas of where I can look for ideas for a themed series of several different paintings. Are there any good books you would recommend? I know I should attend art galleries and have looked online..but I was just wondering if anyone had any good ideas that they've used? (Sorry this is so long!)

Is there anywhere on the net where you can send away a photograph and get a portrait painted then buy it? Or if not something similar?

My Grandmother just sent me a narwhal tusk walking cane that has been in my family for years. I am trying to find a way to value it (US standards) for insurance purposes. With the US laws on importing ivory, I'm not sure what I can and can't do.

Not sure where to post this one...

I'm an English teacher in France and working on Northern Ireland with my students, and more specifically murals in Northern Ireland.

I've found quite a lot of pictures of murals with 6-pointed stars.

Am I right in thinking it represents the 6 counties of Northern Ireland?
Or am I completely off the point?

I have several paintings I would like to sell, but I am unsure of how much to sell them for. I have sold paintings for quite a bit but that is not the norm. I don't want to give them away byet I do not want to charge a huge amount for them. Some people cannot afford them, but they like them . A gallery owner friend of mine says once an artist starts off selling at a higher price they should never sell anything of that size for less. But not everyone has that kind of money. What do you think I should do? I would like a decent for me yet easy on my customers kind of pricing--- if such a thing exists. Any ideas at all would help. Right now I am overloaded with works and need to get them out there. Help! :)
