It occurred to me that instead of watching 3D tv on a 3D set you could instead have two viewers watching separate shows though not in 3D. One set of glasses would be cross polarized in one direction and the other set in the other directions instead of one eye in one direction and one eye in the other direction. This would mean two people could sit together in the same room watching the same set but watching different shows. Would require headphones though.

Has this been thought of and considered by the manufactures or are they strictly pushing 3D? It seems like it would be a great second use for a 3D set.

Mere Mortal recently asked why no Sony Alpha question here so I thought I'd post one.

I recently traded a Nikon d300 for a Sony A550 primarily due to the features (stabilized sensor, instant response live view, reticulated screen, HDR) but one thing I hadn't expected is that in the focus mode live view (so it's in the same mode as the Nikon live view) the low light response is so much better then with the Nikon D300. For instance, when low light night time street shooting, with the Nikon all you see is the points of source light while the with the Sony the whole scene is clear and visible. It also greatly exceeds what you can make out in either camera's optical viewfinder.

So why is it if both camera's are using their primary sensor (Sony also has a second sensor for a fast response live view mode but it isn't much good in low light) to give you live view the Sony's is so much better than the Nikon's in low light?

Looking for a recommendation for a on-line frame supplier where you can enter your pictures size, matt size, frame material, etc. There's so many of them and I'd like to know if one stands out from another as being a good supplier.

I was reading an article in my local newspaper about labiaplasty (labia reduction & beautification), vajazzling (jewelery for the vagina), vaginal dying and vaginal mints. The commentary went on to say this is simply the further objectification of women by men. To that I say non-sense. Sometimes a group of people create there own issues and I say this for the most part driven by women. Any man I know is pretty happy with a natural vagina.

Am I wrong?

About 5 or 6 years ago CVS and some other companies were selling a disposable digital camera. The idea of a disposable digital camera never took off because I think it got hacked too quickly and too many people simply started using them as a regular non-disposable camera. I'm just guessing at that and any real insight would be appreciated.

We have a client that has one of these cameras and can find no one that is able to pull the files from the camera. Is there anyone doing this anywhere on earth anymore? My company specialize in processing expired and very old film and may pick this up as a service if no one else is doing it and if we can find a realitively simple hack.

Any insight into these odd ball cameras would be great.

On a few occasions I wanted to contact people either asking or answering questions. I click their profile and then click the send mail icon beside the user, compose the mail and then send it. I assume that if they return a response it would go to my yahoo mail but in the 5 or 6 letters I have sent to people I have never had a response nor has the sent mail showed up as sent mail at my Yahoo account. Perhaps simply no one is responding to my mail but I'm not sure.

Where do I find my sent mail when sending mail via the send mail icon on a users profile and to where is the response going if I'm getting one?

thanks

Or perhaps they never were. I tend to use the effect quite a bit to take away that digital edge and create some distance from reality in a lot of my pictures but I wonder if the effect is getting all used up like selective color. Or does the effect have staying power, maybe because it's not completely simple. Here is an example of one of my pictures with a lot of texturing done....does it work?

And another where the effect is more subtle....

I work primarily as a photo editor and a film technician and tried a brief stint as a professional photographer. I hated the latter and wonder if others have had the same experience.

What I found is that there are too many people out there wanting a certain quantity of full resolution images on a cd for the lowest possible price and also a good number of photo enthusiasts that are willing to work for those prices. There was little regard for the quality of the images and cheap effects like selective color, cookie cutter Photoshop actions and fancy borders would generally win the day over an actual good photo and tasteful time consuming photo edit. I could maybe offer 50 photos I was comfortable with giving to a client vs the 500 they could get from someone else at the same price.

With so many other offering x number of photos for x dollars I just simply quit because offering the same would negate everything I enjoyed about photography. Curious on other peoples experience with this.

I'm teaching part of a high school class in regards to photography. I want to give samples of what to do and what not to do. I would like to do a slide show of some top end and famous photojournalism, along with some great candid pics and street photography. I will also be throwing into the mix the complete opposite and hope that they catch on without calling their attention to it. Who'd have thunk it...the good stuff is the easy stuff to find.

I'm looking for a website specifically displaying the what NOT TO DOs of photography. Looking for bad technique, boring pictures and over the top cliche images. Thanks to all that answer.

I'm in Canada and am partly Canadian. My photo lab gets work from around the world and when I get a customer on the line that calls their film "FILIM" I know I'm talking to a Canadian. What's up with that?

I work at a photo lab and I get people asking for their memory cards to be developed. I feel like saying "Sure, I'll throw that into some developer and we'll see just what we can get out of that little bugger - looking for the film look are you?" but I keep my mouth shut. What they are in fact asking for are prints from their memory card. I also get people with video tapes calling them films and people with old 8mm home movie film calling them video tapes. Grrr..it drives me a little crazy but I'll keep this to one question. Is it incorrect to say you want your memory card developed? Obviously you know my opinion but I'm curious if there is a real answer for this.

Congressman William Jennings Bryan said "If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it.". That is to say "what the bible says goes". So if that be the case how do you resolve yourself to scriptures such as...

"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

Moses-Numbers 31:17

or

"But if the thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young woman, then you shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..."

god-Deuteronomy 22:20

In the first case brutal violence and the exploitation if not rape of young girls is condoned by a biblical hero and in the second the stoning of a woman who has sex out of wedlock condoned by god.

I know...context is important but this is pretty straight forward stuff that needs to be pretty twisted around to be in context with modern morality.

I'm really curious to know how those that truly want to live by the scriptures make this work in their moral code...or is what is being suggested here just fine with you.

Is there too much emphasis on preserving human life at all cost with blatant disregard to human suffering?

I think it became popular with a Gatorade add about 10 years ago picturing athletes in B&W with brightly color sweat. It was cool at the time but it's rare to ever see anything new in it anymore and to me it comes across as hackneyed and all used up. I think the world has had enough B&W wedding pictures with brightly colored flower, B&W models with ruby red lips and pet photos with glowing blue eyes. Is it time this effect goes the way of elevator music and beehive hairdoos?

Ok....before you simply relegate this to the dust bin on-line stupidity give it the tiniest amount of your attention. Com'on after all, to what red blooded heterosexual male picture taker hasn't this thought occurred to or for that matter, if you swing the other way or are of the other gender, maybe having that fine piece of imaging technology strapped around your neck might impress the boys too.

I know this is why I started...forgive me though...I was only ten at the time. I had a Rollei 35mm with big a**ed flash bracket and speed grip attached to it. Not sure it impressed the girls but I know I had a few adults wonder what the heck some kid was doing with this rig.

Anyway...I want to hear from women too...could you be so impressionable to fall for "I'd love to photograph you sometime"?

Give me a break...it's research!!!!!

I've searched the net and have never found this option as a possibility but thought it worth a post regardless. Is there a tattooing machine that can make a tattoo from a digital image file? If not someone should invent one because it would make you stupid rich.

I'm looking a famous picture as described in the questions. I think it was from the 50s or early 60s and is of a kid with a vicious face and a hand gun pointing into the camera. Very candid and raw. It might have been from Life magazine but I'm not sure. I've done web image searches and have come up with a lot of angry kids with guns pictures but not the famous one I'm looking for. Who'd have know there were so many angry kids with guns out there...is this something I need to concern myself about? I'll go with happy thoughts instead.

Can anyone help???

On several occasions I've wanted to talk to different people who have posted stuff in Yahoo answers. So I click their profile and then click the send mail icon. I write the letter and push send. Where do I find return responses. Nothing ever shows up in my Yahoo mail account that is associated with my answers account and the Yahoo mail account show nothing in my sent box. I assumed that yahoo answers mail was simply linked up to yahoo mail. How the heck do I see my sent mail and also incoming mail. Maybe it's that no one ever returns the mails I post but still....shouldn't I be able to see the mails I sent in my sent mail from my yahoo mail account? grrrrr

The companies are

While there are other company's that will process oddball film stocks these seem to be the only ones focused on processing truly old film like Kodacolor-x and Kodachrome II. One of the companies is mine but I'm not telling which one. I'm really curious of peoples perceptions once looking at the websites, pricing and policy. It's a bit of market research which I'm hoping I can be forgiven for as the hope is to improve our customer service and approach to salvaging these precious lost and found films. Thanks so very very much to those that take the time.
