Question: How to recycle white office paper?

I am researching and trying to start a recycling program in my office. I see you should separate paper in two bins (white office paper and mixed low grade paper). If you have color letterhead on office paper does it still go in white bin? One site said if the paper is not blank it has to go in mixed bin? This does not seem right?

Answer: At our recycling place, there is a bin for just white office paper and one for junk mail. I put all colored paper in the junk mail bin.

Another excellent place to find White Paper is on Amazon… They have way more than just books!

Question: How can I move the snow on a white paper?

I took aa tree in the winter and in the backgrounds of the tree that I have natural light, but I wanted the snow to add it, but I do not know how I should do this because I know my papers. What should I do? How do I also would have snow on the Branches?

Answer: You might be surprised how much a white chalk or pencil on white paper is to show … but also for a stronger brand, you can try with a very, very light pastel tones color like an ivory or light blue. On the other nice touch to You look at the time of the day and reflect the colors of sunlight in the color of your snow. They were able to paintings by Monet haystack in the snow a good example. have fun:)

Question: How to use the manual settings on canon rebel xti?

i have a canon rebel xti and i wan’t to learn on how to understand how to use all the settings on the camera. i tried reading the manual but it confuses me. i am planning on buying a book that covers all of this stuff but i’d like to know what aperture and F stops and all that stuff mean from u guys….thx
how can you get a nice bokeh for portraits

Answer: You might check at http://www.magiclanterndvdguides.com for an instructional DVD for your camera.

“How Digital Photography Works, Second Edition” by Ron White

“Hands-On Digital Photography” by George Schaub

There are 3 components to the “Exposure Triangle” : f-stop, ISO and shutter speed.

ISO is the measurement of the sensitivity to light of a light sensitive surface, either film or digital sensor. A low ISO (50, 100) is very insensitive and requires a lot of light. A high ISO (400, 800, 1600) is very very sensitive and requires less light. A low ISO produces the best image quality; a high ISO is needed in low-light, non-flash photography but does degrade the image.

The aperture (f-stop) is the opening made by the diaphragm inside the lens on your camera. A large opening (f1.7, f2) admits all the available light. A small opening (f11, f16) admits very little light. Regardless of the ISO chosen, the f-stop chosen controls the shutter speed and what’s known as “Depth of Field” (DOF).

The shutter speed determines the length of time the light admitted by the f-stop chosen is allowed to expose our film or digital sensor, based on the ISO.

Let’s look at some examples to see the ISO/f-stop/shutter speed relationship. These are based on the “Sunny 16 Rule” which states: “On a sunny day, set your aperture to f16 and your shutter speed to 1/ISO”. * For our purposes we’ll pretend our fastest shutter speed is 1/8000 sec. – which few cameras have the capability of achieving.

ISO 100
f16 @ 1/125 sec.
f11 @ 1/250 sec.
f8 @ 1/500 sec.
f5.6 @ 1/1000 sec.
f4 @ 1/2000 sec.
f2.8 @ 1/4000 sec.
f2 @ 1/8000 sec.

ISO 400
f16 @ 1/500 sec.
f11 @ 1/1000 sec.
f8 @ 1/2000 sec.
f5.6 @ 1/4000 sec.
f4 @ 1/8000 sec.

As we ”open up” from f16 to f11 we admit twice as much light and our shutter speed doubles since admitting more light requires less time (faster shutter speed) for the light to expose our light sensitive surface.

If you doubt the validity of the example, do this simple test:
Place your camera in Aperture Preferred Mode so you can select an f-stop and allow the camera to select the shutter speed. (Av on your camera). Set your ISO to 100. Now go outside on a sunny day. Set your f-stop to 16 and record the shutter speed selected by the camera. Do this for every f-stop.

The only difference you’ll likely see from the chart I showed is this: The “Sunny 16 Rule” my chart is based on was developed when shutters were 100% mechanical. Today’s modern electronically controlled shutters are essentially “stepless” and will come closer to actually matching the 1/ISO part of the “Rule”.

Depth of Field (DOF) is controlled by the f-stop and the focal length of the lens. It is loosely defined as that area in acceptable focus in front of and behind your subject. You can find an excellent explanation on wikipedia. I’ll just say that a wide-angle lens (18mm, 21mm) will give you maximum DOF at f16 while a telephoto lens (100mm, 200mm) will give you a shallow DOF at f16.

OK, I can’t resist just 2 examples:

21mm lens @ f16, focused at 6′ : DOF is from 2′ 2” to Infinity

200mm lens @ f16, focused at 8′ : DOF is from 7′ 9-3/4” to 8′ 2-3/8″

Its easy to see how shallow our DOF is with a 200mm lens: 4-5/8″ (2-1/4″ in front of and 2-3/8″ behind our subject).

I realize this has been a long and somewhat complicated answer.

Good luck with this fascinating, frustrating thing called photography.

Q: Can you fit a Canon Rebel XT camera body lens to a Canon Rebel XTi?

My father has a Canon Rebel XT body the camera and several lenses to use with it. He said that if I have a camera body, then he could wear his glasses. I was thinking of buying a Rebel XTi camera body (which is slightly better than my father owns) and wondered if the lenses of the Canon Rebel XT will fit on the Canon Rebel XTi body.

Answer: Any lens that works properly on the XT will work on any Canon XTi, XS, XSi, 30D, 40D, 50D, T1i, etc.
