What sort of things do you use your camera for (even if it's a cell phone) that are not really considered "photography" in an artistic sort of way? I have taken shots of appliances and things that I take apart so I will know how to put them back together or how to take them apart the next time. You know... Things like those "secret" latches on the front of the dryer cover.

I've taken pictures of drapery rods in a store so I can show my wife what they have in stock. If she didn't like what I picked out, at least she can show me which ones to exchange them for.

What else???

These are some of the photos that I'm more unsure about. They look like they could potentially be good, but usually I have a stronger feeling about my better shots. Anyway, I'd just like your suggestions or comments. :D

I'm not at all sure about the eight ball shots.

I'm drawn back to the second one, but not sure about the composition.

I want the question to be semi-personal, Im going to go around and ask a bunch of random people the question and film their reaction. Something I have is "What dont you like about yourself" or "What is your favorite trait". Something along those lines would be good. Thanks

Thanks in advance! I'm not a strobist, and need help!
I'm using a Nikon D50, and have been asked to take some photos of high school wrestling.
1) flash: I don't have a external unit, so I am considering sb-400 and sb-600. Since the gym ceilings are so high, I am assuming bouncing off them is no help. I'm not getting paid for this, so I don't want to go spend alot of $$$, but I want it to be decent. Is a speed light going to be much better than the on-camera flash? (I will be at the mat, which is 40' wide - so most shots will be w/in 20')
Also, if I do get an external, should I buy or build a bounce card?

2) off the flash topic, but: if i were to try to sell reprints to parents, what are the legal issues
a) if it is a cropped shot of only the 1 person (who may or not be a minor)
b)if someone else (ref, other wrestler) is in the pic)

3) I want some of the pics to be mostly black and white, but some color, how do I do that????? (just kidding)

In my digital photography class we have to portray reflection.
Reflection is easy. Reflection is everywhere. But I'm a very creative person. I'm not the average, taking a picture of you in the mirror.

I need some more creative ideas.
With you're ideas, please explain how to do it. And what props need to be in there.

Thanks in advance.

Since I got my external flash, I've seen lots of these flash accessories by lumiquest and other manufacturers

Once is the sto-fen that looks like a piece of tupperware I put at the end of the flash. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00078JT0C/sr/ref=pd_cp_p_2/104-7074266-3124713?ie=UTF8&qid=1192644885&sr=1-4&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_r=1THCJC06NXCDK7RDT0T3&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=250314001&pf_rd_i=B000QD392C

Another is the pro-max system, particulary the 80/20 device that bounces 80% of the light and throws 20% of it forward
http://www.amazon.com/LumiQuest-System-Lumiquest-Promax/dp/B00009XW5J/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1196180004&sr=1-1

My Question:
Are these devices worth it? I'm no professional, but I'd like to make my shots look as best as possible without fancy equipment. I also shoot lots of indoor shots at parties and other events.

What is your opinion on them?

My boyfriend and I were going over wedding cost and a photographer is a lot of money. I was wondering if we could hire a student to photograph our wedding as a school project or something like that and is it a good idea?

I own a Canon 30d and love it. I am really into infrared photography and have an Olympus camera that works really well, it takes great pics, but it's only a 4mp and while the images are great, I can't really blow those up to a large enough size to display. I am thinking of buying a used Canon Rebel, XT or XTi and have one of the companies that are converting them for IR use to convert it. I was wondering if anyone had this done...how it worked for you...and which camera and conversion company you used?

My problem is - my little sister played with my old film camera - she loaded a new film, but forgot to change the film speed and took a couple of shot with the asa rating set on the one of the old film. Can I do anything about it, if I change it to what it should be - will it be OK, or is the film wasted?

It needs to be upgradable with lenses, etc.. but not so to be of paparazzi quality / complication. For amature photographer who wants to start taking it to the next level. Please help. thanks.

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.

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?
