Is there a perfect exposure that all these die hard film users keep blabbing on about? "Get it right in camera!" Well what is the correct exposure? What is the correct exposure for caucasion skin? What is the correct exposure for grass? What is the correct exposure for white snow? What is the correct exposure for volcanic soil? Does anyone actually know? It's all very well saying "Use a grey card" but we can't even agree whether it's supposed to be 12% or 18% grey. And assuming it is 18% grey, at what zone is grass meant to be? Actually, what part of what zone? It's all very well saying caucasion skin is meant to be zone 6, but what is zone 6? One stop above 18% grey? Because Ansel Adams said so? So those fashion photographers who "over expose" skin tones are doing it all wrong then? And the award winning photographers who have skin tones in the zone 4 - 5 are actually useless?

The lens of my camera fogged up when I left it outside for a few hours to take a night sky photo. It was about ~25 degrees out. What can I do next time to prevent this?

My family wanted me to do their faimily portraits.I just got a brand new professional camera, which came with a french manual, & since I'm not that good in french i cant understand it all.The ENTIRE time my step dad was giving me absolutley crazy instructions like use flash instead of natural lighting &I already knew what I was doing, I had the settings just right and everything.Well, while I was adjusting things, and about to take a picture, my step dad busted in front of me, using flash and took a million of pictures with his camera. I couldn't take one picture, because he was being so obnixious.

Then when I got upset because he pratically ****** up my whole job [I was getting paid for it] he told me that "oh, there are always going to be people busting in front of you when you take pictures"I've never had anything like this happen to me & ive done tons of photoshoots even in crazy places like malls.
Is this true?
Do people actually do that to you?

This is a stupid rhetorical question so I apologize in advance. Probably no one will be able to give me a good answer because the question itself *can't* be answered. Still.. I own an 18-55 kit lens and a 55-200 vr for which I paid half what I would have had to pay for an 18-200. Even now, months later, I'm wondering if there's any advantage to the 18-200 over this lens pair other than not having to switch lenses. Theoretically, switching lenses frequently will get dirt into my camera and eventually damage the sensor - but that isn't *that* likely and I would in any case still switch to primes now and then. So..... is there any good reason to pay double what an 18-55, 55-200 costs just for the convenience of not having to switch lenses; or is there some other, weird, solid reason for only owning the 18-200 since, from what I've heard, image quality is so similar as to be indistinguishable?

I'm not a photographer. I use photography as a tool for my work (painting).

I want to set up a part of my art studio for this purpose and I want to buy a small amount of medium quality lighting equipment.
I mostly use directional lighting as I like shadows, but a smaller secondary light source would be good too, so there could be some detail and reflection in the shadows.
Generally I like a warm highlight and a very dim blueish or cool secondary light source.
I haven't done this in a long time and I used to use transparency film, but now I will be working in digital.
Can anyone recommend some suitable lighting equipment for me and possibly give me an online link to a sensible setup scenario ? I realise I'm going to need adjustable stands to raise and lower the lights, which I have to be able to swivel around to get shadows how I want them.
Thank you, Lizzie :o)

Hi, I have a Canon PowerShot A570 IS. Recently I've been playing around with some of the different settings, and have figured out some cool stuff to do with slowing the shutter speed, however I still don't understand the aperture setting. What is the effect on the picture from increasing or decreasing the aperture? When should I use a high aperture, and when should I use a low one? Also, anybody with a similar camera (or familiar with this one), what other interesting stuff can I do besides "time lapse" type photos and messing with the aperture? I need some inspiration and information on how to do it...thanks!

White balance was the least of my worries. I worked it out "okay" with levels and saturation and came up with this result for a promotional shot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/2095012002/
Here's what ran in the paper over the copy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/2095011822/

I tried to show as much of the diversity of this exhibit as possible in one frame. You can expect the image to be cropped to suit column width, but it would be nice if it was cropped level. Talk about white balance issues? This barely looks like the same picture. It doesn't help that the page were printed so far off index that it looks like you need those 3-D glasses to view it! I'm glad I don't do this for a living...
