Does True Love Exist in the World?

summerrainylily @summerrainylily (256) • China 15 Dec 10

Does true love exist in the world? As far as I know, when you ask a guy what kind of girl do you like? He must consider about beauty, sexy. When you ask a girl's standard for boyfriend or husband, she must take wealth into...

deecee2010 Yes, true love does exist. But it is dependent on whether you love yourself truly first. You cannot love someone when you are not happy with yourself. The folks you name that say they need beauty and/or money to label it love are folks who dislike these things...

What exactly do editors get paid to do? This is a rant!

deecee2010 @deecee2010 (29) • Netherlands 15 Dec 10

Maybe I just never paid attention before, but it seems lately I keep finding more and more errors in my books. From having the same page printed twice to poor grammar. I get so disgusted I have actually thrown some books out....

deecee2010 I agree with what the others have posted. I expect you to go over and beyond to help me solve issues. However, that said, I also would like to know if you are a good customer. I have a friend who wants "excellent customer service" at all times. But she is...

deecee2010 While we all know that a panic attack isn't "real", your body doesn't know it and it can most definitely be debilitating. Many people who once led normal lives can't even leave their homes for fear of having a panic attack in public. Honestly, if you find...

deecee2010 Do a search for free photography lessons or free photography classes. You should wind up with a ton of sites that will get you started. Also, do a search for photography critique or photo critique and you will get sites where members critique each others...

deecee2010 I guess it depends on what you mean by selling: If you are talking about setting up a website and selling your images, you can check out zenfolio, smugmug and a few hundred other sites that pretty much do all the setup work for you. It'll cost you, of course....

deecee2010 The majority of cameras can take great pictures. What you need to be sure of is not just is the picture technically great, but does it show your vision. It's not enough to just have great pictures from the camera, because anyone can do that. What you need to...

America's Downward spiral: Real or imagined?

deecee2010 @deecee2010 (29) • Netherlands 12 Oct 10

Best camera for night-shots??

cbar86 @cbar86 (80) • United States 24 Sep 10

Hello, I greatly enjoy taking pictures. By no means would I consider myself a photographer, but I like taking landscape shots, pictures of family at gatherings, and a lot of pictures of our home/pets. One thing that I would love...

deecee2010 Moneyspinner has it right. You need a camera that allows you to change the shutter speed and aperture. You won't find that in point and shoots. You need a prosumer or professional DSLR. And you need to watch out for the "programs". If you simply ask if you can...

deecee2010 I love decorative boxes. Then in each box I try to put in something from the trip. They are small so it can't be anything overly big. And I always include the stub from my flight or a stub from a ticket to someplace like the Uffizi. Since I am a photographer...

I want to be a photographer, but where do I start?

autumndreamer @autumndreamer (3185) • Philippines 9 Mar 10

Of course I need to buy a camera first, but what specific camera? It must suit for me as a beginner right? And then after the camera, what should I do?

deecee2010 The camera itself doesn't really matter. Try to find one that is digital (you are going to take a lot of pictures and this is cheaper, in the long run, than developing film; plus it gives instant feedback)and that lets you change the aperture and shutter...

What digital SLR camera are you using??

livvy @livvy092002 (1032) • Philippines 29 Aug 10

After so many second thoughts, I finally decided to own a new Digital SLR camera. I bought a Nikon D5000. It's not the latest model and definitely not the most expensive model of Nikon but I think it will suit my needs. Before...

deecee2010 I shoot with a D3X, but am the first to say it's not the camera, it's the person behind the camera that makes or breaks an image. The most important thing that your camera can do is allow you to change the shutter speed and aperture, with ISO being a distant...

What is the Best Light for taking Photos?

Marja @buenavida (9985) • Sweden 30 Aug 10

There must be many who like the light when the sun is very low, at sunset or sunrise, or in my case the long summer nights when the sun barely goes down. The two photos here show the difference between the daylight and the warm...

deecee2010 What the best light is is going to depend on your subject matter and what feelings you wish to evoke. Yes, the "rule" is that you should shoot during the magic hour, which means just before to just after sunset or sunrise, when the light is golden, and low in...

what is the best lighting in taking photos? what does ISO mean and functions?

chingkay35 @chingkay35 (33) • Philippines 31 Aug 10

I have always been interested in taking pictures. I always carry my digital camera everywhere I go but I always have trouble with lighting and its color. Sometimes my photos are too yellow or red. how can I set it at the right...

deecee2010 The questions you are asking here are really complicated and can't be answered simply. The lighting question alone could fill a book (and it does since there are so many written on the subject)! Your best bet is to read the manual that came with your camera so...

Thinking of traveling to India to get some medical procedures done, think again.

Yestheypayme2dothis @Yestheypayme2dothis (7874) • United States 7 Sep 10

Traveling to India for medical procedures means taking a big risk in bringing back what is known as a superbug. This superbug is drug resistant. The superbug gene has been identified in 37 people who returned to the U.K. after...

deecee2010 I think it's wrong to just pull out so quickly. There's a big mess out there and we need to stay put until we clean it up. If we move too fast, it gives a chance, in the resulting chaos, for the wrong parties to step in and re-introduce so much of what the...
