Visual Arts - December 2007

You know like one of those pens you press with you thumb to get the ink point out. I've never seen one for a felt tip pen or sharpie. I think it would be nice. I'm tired of having to pull off the cap when I need to label a box, it's pain.

I was just looking at my D50 and noticed it has 9991 shutter reflexes. This might be stupid, but I was thinking about making the 10,000th image...special. Is that creepy? I dont really care, but what do you think the 10,000th image should be of. Any suggestions. Thanks.

I was once asked by a friend who had a band to photograph them. There were four people in the band and one of them was black. I got my exposure set to what I thought would be right and took a number of colour shots of them.

By the way, this was in the days of film!

When I got the film developed, everything was fine apart from the black member of the band. There was no structure to his face. he just came out literally black.

I managed to get some detail back when I digitalised the photographs a couple of years later, but it would have been preferable to have a decent image on the negative to start with.

I suppose you're going to advise me to slightly overexpose to compensate but are there any other tricks I should know?

Also in black and white photography are you recommended to use a different filter for black people. I know green or yellow green is good for bringing detail out in light skinned people. Would a red filter be good for dark skinned people?

I'm trying to find a print of a painting. My father had a print of this painting laminated yet my dog managed to chew it up.
I've looked in ebay for this picture and over the web but I'm not having much luck.
Its of a male clown from the waist up with a flower in his hat/hand and he is very sad it has a green blue background and looks like very rushed/large brush strokes of oil paint.
Has anyone seen this picture and know of its title or possible have a print and would be willing to part with it (obviously I would pay for it!) My father had this print for 20 years and is very sad. So I want to make up for it. Thank you.

... but now I'm back with more pics that i'd like your opinion on.

(I think the ones on the other question are better, but I need opinions on all my photography, not just the better ones.)

I like to experiment with angles, so often I don't pay attention as much to the focusing... the focusing is off in a LOT of my pics.

I don't like these as much but....

do you look into the profile or review other questions and responses by a particular responder to get an indication of their experience or qualification? Or do you just pick an answer because it was what you wanted to hear in the first place?

I've got Paint Shop Pro 9, I've got a brand new Wacom Intuos3 and I grew up drawing comics so I've got all the ingredients needed to make a good drawing/graphic...

My problem is that when I'm drawing my normal charactors on the digital screen, they seem pixelated instead of a smooth "pen like" appearance.

I'm trying to get that smooth natural pen like look (without having to use other programs like Corel Painter 10 or Photoshop)... so are there any other digital artists like me who know how to achieve this look? Thanks a million for your input!

My settings are: (Round) Size:2 Hardness: 100 Step:1 Density & Thickness: 100 (Paint Shop Pro 9)

I have a set of 4 intricate Chinese paper cuts. They are each in their own protective covers (cardboard back, tissue paper cover) and all four are kept together in their original packaging. They must tell a story, but I don't know which order they should be in or what the story is. I have pictures of them if anyone is interested. I don't want to sell them, but would love to know as much about them as possible.

Any help wouldbe much appreciated!

I try to redraw art on a picture using the pen tool on a separate layer (new layer). After draw with the pen tool I sometime want to make the line or part of the line lighter so it would blend in with the original line. I try using the dode tool but it seem to never work even if I set the exposure rate to a 100 it seem to never make a different. I try other tool such as the burn and blur tool to see if it work on the layer and it work fine so I was wondering why doesn't the dodge tool work. Can someone please help me out.

I purchased four large modern art glass vases/vessels at an estate auction a few weeks ago. I can't find an artist's signature on the vases. Does anyone know if glass artists usually signs their work? These are beautiful, bold colored vases with swirls and peacock designs. Each one stands over 18 - 24 " tall. Would appreciate any assistance with this.
