is there a name for this?

A pretty common term for it is 'bokeh' [it's a japanese term].
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
It's basically how the aperture that the photographer uses interprets the depth of field. A large aperture, such as f1.4, will provide excellent depth of field.
Another interesting note: you can purchase lenses that have different shaped apertures other than circles [stars, triangles, etc.], and then the bokeh would be the shape of the aperture opening.

I know that tattoo's ruin job prospects, but to what extent? I have a tattoo on my upper arm- the middle of my bicep and tricep. People barely see it because its never warm enough here to wear short sleeves. Would it ruin job prospects even if you cant see them? like..if they would be covered with a shirt?
I read about a firm in japan, if you showed anyone a tattoo, you would be fired. what do you all think?
Yeah, you're not gonna get fired for a tattoo that no one ever sees.
I've held a few different jobs, oddly enough the blue collar work was more strict about tattoos than the white collar work I did. When I worked for a state department doing paperwork, I could show any tattoos I wanted to. It all depends on the job and the work environment.
Bowser surfing and playing guitar with music notes coming from the guitar...And its in front of a pot leaf!!........and.....in front of a cross because i'm kinda religious because my mom died when i was young.

im looking for a new digital SLR camera ( i like the nikon d60...i have a friend who has one and i love it!)
i was wondering what the differences are between nikons and canons, or what my best choice might be!
i also want to buy a fisheye lens, so i was wondering where i could find a cheeaaaap one (i know they are usually in like the 400 range...but is there anything in the 100 range? or is that just rediculous?)
anyways, any tips on cameras, where to look, what to get, anything is greatly appreciated
:)
If you're already familiar with nikon then go for that. I have a rebel xt [hopefully upgrading soon] and it's great. Amazon probably has the best prices. The camera body is not as important as the lenses you put on it. Start with the kit lens, it's not that bad. Pick up a 50mm f1.8 lens then, they're cheap but you'll use it all the time.
Fisheye lens: Try and pick up an Opteka 42x wide angle lens. You'll probably have to search ebay, or maybe you'll get lucky and find one on amazon. But it's worth the search, it's cheaper than a true fisheye but does all the same things and is very sharp.
Other than that, there are other attachable lenses to get fisheye effects. Although I wouldn't recommend spending a lot on one because fisheye is sort of a one trick pony [although I use it all the time myself]. Good luck on your new camera.
i got a tattoo on my foot about 3 months ago, and it's already fading a little and isn't as bright as it was. are there any things i can do to enhance the color and keep it looking really good even though it's already done healing?
Lotion! Put lotion on it [lubriderm sensitive skin therapy is what I use] after showering and in the morning. Moisturizing daily makes your tattoo bright.
Avoid sun exposure, even just walking outside for a bit can affect the tattoo, so either use a lotion with spf included or use sunscreen when outside.
If you think it's an issue with the tattoo itself, most reputable places offer free touch-ups.
It could also depend on your natural skin tone. I am very pale and therefore my tattoos appear to be very bright, tanner skin will make them appear more faded and dull.
I bought one of those Wolf Dakota disposable film cameras and When I got the pictures, I only received two out of about 30. One, was extremely dark and had a lot of grain. The other one was blurry. The other ones didn't come out. Why did this happen?
I was careful about having enough light. I placed the camera down so no camera shake. I wasn't too close to the subjects. I placed the camera somewhere safe when I wasn't using it.
So why didn't most of my pictures come out or even look good? Did I do something wrong or did the person that developed them do something wrong?
There's a few explanations. I'm assuming you got negatives back with your prints, check those and see if the store forgot to print the other photos. If the negatives are blank, that means your pictures were either under or over exposed.
You say that you had enough light, and nothing was blocking the lens correct? Some disposable and cheaper film cameras won't produce results even with what seems like adequate light, some only truly work outdoors with natural, bright light.
If you're sure that you did everything correct on your part, it could definitely be that the person developing the pictures screwed up by exposing the film. Sadly, it's not unheard of [it's happened to me many times which is why I now develop my own film] because film photography is a dying breed and people are not trained properly to handle it. It's an honest mistake on the part of the developer, but I suggest taking the negatives to where you got them developed and ask for a refund or a discount on your next film development. It sucks but once the film is messed up, there's nothing you can do.
im turning 16 in like...12 days! =D
and i really would like a new phone for my birthday...
i am with verizon and I am looking for a phone with a keyboard. I am looking between the EnV2 black and the Voyager. I hear the EnV2 evidently breaks or something or the screen breaks and it randomly sends txts messages if you put it in ur pockey because the buttons rub against your pocket. But the voyager..i heard it's too big to fit in your jean pocket, and it's also a touch screen. Ive also heard the touch screens break too. I like both phones. I need something with a keyboard is most deffinetly. Camcorder and a camera is nice too. I just dont know which one to decide on..bc idk if the rumors are true or not about these phones. Help me out here! =D
Well I have the EnV2 and I think it's a great phone. Unlike the original EnV, you can now set it so you have to press two buttons on the front to unlock it, greatly reducing the chance that it will randomly dial and text while in your pocket. If you take care of it I don't think it will break, I've dropped it a lot and it's fine. The camera is very nice as well. If you buy a memory card, it's also nice to put music on your phone.
I did not like the Voyager when I tried it out in the store, but that is personal opinion. I felt that the EnV2 is more durable than the Voyager, and also a better size.
whats special about it?
like whats it do to thee picture?
im jsut wonderinq?
please&&thankyou. :)
Fisheye lenses are wide angle lenses that distort the image so it is curved and the closer the subject to the lens, the larger it appears as compared to farther subjects. In a way it mimics how a fish would view the world when looking through its fishbowl.
There are cheap fisheye cameras:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007ZGXO0
And expensive fisheye lenses:
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-15mm-Fisheye-Lens-Cameras/dp/B00009R6WN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1234634259&sr=1-1
They add a dramatic effect to the picture. Fisheyes aren't practical for everyday use, but they are fun to whip out every once in a while.

My xbox 360 got a 2 Red Light warning thing and found out it was due to overheating. I unplugged everything and let it cool for a day. After that, I turned it on and after 6 minutes it shows the same two red lights. I also touched the back and noticed it got warm pretty quickly. Is there a way to fix this? I searched all over the net and got stuff like send it to microsoft and they'll repair it for you but also read that it won't stop the problem completely, it just fixes your xbox a bit and then later on it will get 2 red lights again. Another one said you could repair yourself, I might wanna do that but I need detailed instructions on how. I Searched the net how and got all these advertisements on how to fix your 360 with this manual and video which costs like 40 dollars. I think I've seen somewhere the xbox 360 has a cooling device accessory? Will that do any good?
I would send it in to microsoft. The 360 has had a lot of problems but microsoft has been decent with extending warranties and fixing their problems. If you want to try a cheap solution before sending it in, I definitely recommend the Intercooler http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Nyko-Intercooler/dp/B000F5RW1U , you can get them anywhere xbox accessories are sold, and they're like 20 bucks, not a bad deal. It's three tiny fans and doesn't void the warranty because it's not permanent. Sometimes it can run loudly, but you don't need to keep it attached all the time.
When people have a black X on their hand, what does it mean? LIke this for example: http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/47/l_639e36177650433bb7b253c72081b658.jpg
It means they're straight edge. Unless they're just doing it because they think it looks scene or whatever, in which case they would be a tool.

I was just wondering where I could find (real)
brass knuckles at? Believe me, I've looked and looked on eBay, and all I can find is necklaces, pendants, etc. Any ideas?
Thanks!

that's the first result on google. how about those?
my friends keep suggesting i read really depressing books. like philosophy and stuff. my brothers girl friend told me to read chelsea handlers book my horizontal life and her other book.. it is sooo funny. i like reading now and it doesnt make me depressed. one problem though... i dont know any other books like it. i like dark humor.. alot. rude and crude type of stuff. and it is okay if it has dirty stuff i am over 18. so please any suggestions on really great funny books that would be fantastic thanks in advanced.
"Hairstyles of the Damned" is a great book. Funny moments, philosophical/existential moments, good stuff.
A lot of stuff by Chuck Palahinuik has the dark humor going on. I would recommend "Survivor". Or if you're feeling particularly adventurous and really do not mind gross/crude humor, there's a short story by Palahinuik called "Guts," you can find it online. It's really gross though but funny in a way.
If you're going for just funny without the dark side I would suggest just browsing the humor section at the bookstore. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert both have hilarious books. And "The Practical Guide To Racism" if you're daring and don't mind stereotypes is also hilarious.
I've been going pretty strong in photography for a few years now, but I really need to upgrade my camera. I have a sony cybershot 7.2 mp, most people wouldn't consider it a 'great photography' camera, but i also think it has to do with the photographer, not the camera, but ANYWAYS...
I'm getting a Canon Rebel XTI 10.1 MP for christmas, hopefully. And I'm also thinking about getting into Macro Photography. Does anyone know if this is a good camera for this type of photograpy?
Or, can someone suggest a macro lens for me?
the canon rebel dslr cameras are great cameras when you're trying to get into more 'professional' shooting. I myself have the rebel xt. You'll find that the kit lens the camera comes with isn't a great lens though [although it still does the job when taking normal distance pictures]. But you cannot do true macro photography with the kit lens.
Lenses are pricey [I'm looking at a lens now that's $600 :/].

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=194451&is=USA&addedTroughType=search
those two are good macro lenses. You might be able to find a deal on a used macro lens as well.
Here's a good intro to macro photography by the way:
http://photo.net/learn/macro/index
Here's also a good forum for photography questions:
http://forum.deviantart.com/galleries/photography/
But yeah, good camera choice, you'll be very happy with it. good luck with your photography.
I was wondering if someone could give me a general price range of how much an anklet tattoo would cost, no color. Paste this link into your browser:
http://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewThread&entryID=32828922&groupID=102792927&adTopicID=19&Mytoken=C1992126-0515-4B5D-AB2BE62295A08D132044528
Except, not a peace sign, but the female symbol.
I'd ballpark it between $80 and $120, plus a tip for the tattoo artist. It might be cheaper though considering there's no color.
i think i want this as a tattoo
http://s293.photobucket.com/albums/mm50/MANDi-x-CANDy/?action=view¤t=thfreedom.jpg
i was thinking the back of my neck?
do you think thats a good place?
I'm sure you know this, but if you're getting that tattooed on you then it's gonna need to be bigger. If it's done that size then it will look like a blotch of ink.
The back of the neck is a good place for a tattoo. I am assuming you are female due to the design you chose, so the back of the neck is a very feminine area for a tattoo which is good. Also, it is not terribly painful to get one there, and you can generally cover it easily, either with your hair or a collared shirt.
Your best bet is to go to a respected, clean, and reputable tattoo parlor and talk to one of the artists, see what they say about the design, often they will help tremendously and make the design even better.
Make sure it's something you'll want to see for a long time, even after the whole peace/love fad is over.
So yeah, neck=good place.
I've never gotten a tattoo before and I've been toying with the idea for a while. I really want to get one. I just really need to get an outside opinion from someone that doesn't know me. I want to get this design:
http://i27.tinypic.com/2ymzous.jpg
I want to get it on the back of my shoulder towards the edge of my shoulder blade. I want it to be about 3 or so inches across.
I'm just worried about the pain and whether it will be easy to cover and easy to show.
I like the touch of color in it. Just make sure you get it big enough so that the detail in it doesn't end up looking like an ink blob or something.
I have one on my shoulder/shoulder blade. I have a terrible tolerance for pain [I cried when I got a tattoo on my leg] but the shoulder really didn't hurt. It feels like you've got a sunburn, and then a cat comes along and scratches it. Eventually the area goes numb. You can take some advil before you go if you're really afraid of the pain but I honestly think you'll be able to deal with it without a problem.
It might be sore for a while after you get it, maybe for a week or even just a few days. Keep it covered with breathable gauze so that your shirt doesn't irritate it.
It will be easy to cover up, the shoulder is always a good place because you don't have to worry about getting in trouble at the workplace or anything.
good luck!
I've seen some people that have a silver necklace with a naked girl sitting sideways with one leg scooted up alittle. Does anyone know what i'm talking about? where can i get one?
do you mean the 'trucker girl' symbol? like the kind you see on mudflaps and stuff?
if so, here's a few:

I've also seen them through Urban Outfitters. Maybe try Claire's too if you don't want to order online. Hopefully that's what you were looking for.
how much would this tatto cost?
http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cobrasnakess0.jpg
it would be 3/4 of the size it appears. thanks
It depends on the parlor. I would estimate between $90 and $150, including the tip.
Some places charge per hour, others charge per square inch.
I would recommend that you shop around at some respectable, well-known, and clean places and find the best price.
I dont understand why so many people have issues with immigrants coming here illegally. i mean what happened to the good ol american saying that its the land of the free? i mean if you lived a crap life in mexico and you were just looking for a better life in america.. doesnt it make sense to try and come here? i mean when people get granted to come here.. its not that easy. you could be told "no". then what are you gonna do? live a crap life there? NO. try to imagine life from their POV. with the border being built up thats gay.. i mean who are we to say how many people can inhabit america? i mean this is a country friggen based on IMMIGRANTS. the closest anyone can call themselves to a real american is if they have a long line of native americans in their family. and what about a long time ago when columbus came and took land away from the native americans? what if they called them illegal immigrants cause they didnt call to come say hello, and uh steal their land and kill their people while they're at it. with hillary clinton she says she doesnt wanna be involved with the building of that humongous border, but thank god obama has some sense. super tuesday was really close.. i was pretty pissed that obama came a close second. bet its just racist old people, since a lot of the younger generation wants obama. like in school (btw 8th grade) we had a poll out of my entire team and obama was clearly the winner. hillary had like 1/4 of the votes and very few were for mccain. and i live in new jersey.. which mostly favored hillary, obama coming second. thats just plain weird that the kids would have diff opinions like that. obama appeals to everybody. there are some people like me that.. like idk why but thers something about hillary i dont like. but with obama.. it just seems so different, so right. with him i actually feel that change will come to our country. anyways, with obama hes gonna try to get the mexicans that come over for day jobs licenses.. so that they know the rules of america and stuff.. cause they need to know them or they can be a danger to the people here, and well themselves as well. cause thinking that a little border is gonna stop people from making outlandish schemes to get over it, is bullshit. not gunna happen. its not right for the racist people around mexico (in america.. like above mexico) go around shooting people they see crossing over. who the hell would give these old coots the right to SHOOT SOMEBODY? for doing what? trying to get a better life! that is totall bullcrap so remember to vote for obama, once again. and yea building that border is not gonna be cheap.. and people complain about the tax prices now.. heh well its not getting better with that border, hunny. money should go to better things. as well with the border surrounding canada which is more ridiciously hilarious.. look at a man of North America and i wont have to explain. k end rant. opinions? please dont like remove this.. i really want to know opinions.. in a way i guess thats sort of like answers right? like advice to me. yeah. or if its wrong like tell me why how this isnt an advice question and how i could make it one. kthanks mods.
First things first, Obama voted for the 'secure fence act' in 2006, there's no denying that.
People have opinions on everything. Some say that illegal immigration leads to crime, some say that illegal immigrants take advantage of the helpful programs offered in the United States. Others stand by the key word "illegal"-illegal means against the law, so why should it be accepted unless laws are changed.
A lot of the issue has to deal with the economy. The economy is in bad shape now, why should the United States take on the responsibility of illegal immigrants? The United States, no matter how wealthy and advanced, cannot care for every other country in the world, it will just not happen even if it were possible.
I think you're a little off with the whole election thing. I highly doubt that 'racism' has much to do with the election, just as 'sexism' has little to do with it. Look at the democratic candidates that have made it here- a woman and an african american. Both wouldn't have made it this far if people didn't support them.
Kids are going to think a lot differently than adults and elders. Younger people might be drawn toward Obama due to his rhetoric and overall presence. Others are drawn to Clinton due to experience, believe it or not she did a lot of good things while her hubby was President. And McCain also has a lot of experience. You might not agree with his views but you cannot deny that he knows politics and Washington well.
Obama does not appeal to everybody. He lacks votes with Hispanics and white women. Just like Clinton lacks in the african american and white male department.
One single person is not going to bring change to a country, no matter how badly people want to believe it. Sure, there can be a great influence, but it takes many people to make such a drastic change.
By the way, I am planning on voting for Obama [if my state's primary even plays a factor in deciding the candidate, PA doesn't have it's primary until April which is really late], I'm just playing devil's advocate here. It's better to have your facts straight before you go about supporting a candidate. You know a lot for your age, but I wouldn't praise a candidate before you know their entire story.
"God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
Would people take that as really offensive? I read it on the internet and we're making a poster on social justice and I was wondering if I should put that sentence in it somewhere.
It could be offensive if the person reading it is gay, or sympathizes with gay rights.
I think it is a bit funny, but after the initial humor of it, it just sounds mean and evangelistic.
Why would you put that on a poster for social justice? just wondering.
