Art & Photogragh / REAL QUESTION
Not sure what you mean by "coldness ... while taking pictures," but response to art is a very personal thing depending upon many factors-education (I'm not being a snob here, but someone with a lot of education in the arts will see things differently than someone without that background), your mood, even the lighting in the museum and the time of day.

Cropping question...
Not too hard. It just requires patience, careful measuring, a strong wrist and a good mat cutter which can be purchased from an art supply store or a craft shop. However, this is a job I dislike so I'm willing to pay the price to have someone do it for me.

Boss must have a lot of money left in the annual budget to waste on seldom-used lighting and background equipment.


If this is the case...your job is to eliminate the "seldon-used" part............

I'm doing my best - we actually do a fair amount of photography for a blog and a semiannual print newsletter. The photography is the fun part of my job!

Portrait studio size
I've been asked to recommend the appropriate size for a small portrait studio to be located within a university library office suite. Studio will be used only by librarian photographers to photograph library staff and student workers for photos to be used in library blog and semi annual printed newsletter. Suggestions, anyone?

Model Release
gledor42 wrote:
As an aspiring stock photographer, I am hoping someone can help me how to handle this problem regarding model releases. Knowing that the images that sell are those of people interacting with humans or animals, I am in a quandary as how to approach people for their permission. Some release forms can be too intrusive as to ask  for their address , phone number and signature. Do I shoot first then ask or ask first then shoot?
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thank you in advance. 


As a university employee who does some photography for university publications I was told to always get a release if there are recognizable faces. My photographs generate no income, it's just part of my job. I shoot first, then get the release signed. On the rare occasion that someone is adamant about not having their photograph taken, I either delete it or if s/he is part of a group, I just crop him/her out.

Left Eye Dominant
Like you I'm right handed, left eye dominant. Only caused a problem immediately after cataract surgery when vision in the left eye was blurred. What really caused a problem was trying to shoot left eyed, right handed - my father couldn't understand how I could not even hit the huge tree to which the target was pinned.

What do you shoot?

Canon AE1 Canon FTb Yashica A Pentax k1000 Canon Elan II.... So it's all film for me no matter what the cost.. IMHO it does a better job


Yes, I agree that film does a better job, but digital provides the instant gratification and the opportunity to shoot again if one isn't satisfied with the results. Digital also makes it easy to work with the images in ways that required painstaking work in the darkroom. I have a foot in both camps, film and digital although I'm finding I like digital more as time passes.

What do you shoot?
Mostly digital; occasionally 35mm, but plan on doing more of it.

Camera for my 81 year old mother?
Kodak Easy Share cameras are definitely easy to use. For other cameras, check what type of batteries and choose one that uses the easily obtained AA batteries rather than a proprietary (and usually expensive) battery such as those in the Fujifilm and Panasonic cameras.
I've had better luck with lithium batteries rather than alkaline. I also read somewhere that alkalines were not good for cameras. I agree with getting a large capacity memory card.

Mega Pixels
MWAC wrote:
how big are you trying to print and what camera are you shooting with, megapixels are not created equal.

My 40D Canon is 10 megapixels but the quality of those lonely 10 megapixels is greater than most P&S cameras because of the sensor size.


And with my 5 MP Kodak I made a 16 x 20 - which looks good to this art historian's eyes, although literature said this was above the limit.

Melvin, You'd have to get the Canon ST E-2 Transmitter http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&N=4291570227+4289244510&A=endecaSearch&ci=1&Q=

Bruce, the phottix looks interesting too.


they sure don't give this stuff away. transmitter is about half the cost of the flash. it would be easier to buy if I knew what I was doing?... my wife is sure I need "professional" help and not the photo kind.


Maybe it's just me, but I've found that in photography, there are no simple solutions. I buy a piece of equipment and then find that I have to buy another to get it to work.

Which is why I named my point and shoot camera "Barbie". Just like the doll, it required lots of additions.

Need Suggestions on a good point & shoot camera

Well, here's my 2cents worth again; the Kodak Z980 with 12mp, 24x optical zoom, full range of program and manual controls including RAW, hot shoe, included accessory grip for vertical including shutter button. It is as close as you can get to a DSLR without being able to take the lens off. Check it out at Steve's Digicams Reviews.


I have that one and an earlier Kodakz740 - love both and am still growing into it. Like you, I believe it is as close to the DSLR as one can find in a P&S.

Best way to mount photos?
Any hobby/craft shop that frames things can cut a mat to whatever size you need and you should be able to choose color and type of matboard. Acid free, as noted by others is good choice. If you want to do it yourself, you can get mat cutters of various types and prices; probably the best source for these is an art supply store, either local or online.
