Hi Grainpixel, thank you for the interesting information.

I just received a letter from my credit card company that late payments will be charged 28% This is equivalent to 32% effective interest rate. Even if it is 24% the effective rate is actually 27%. So interest free instalments is good, but when you cannot pay, it is very bad. No pig...

Your problem sounds serious. Suggest that you go to a good dentist instead of students or subsidised rates where the dentist treating you may also be undergoing training. There are two things you need to look out for in searching for a doctor or dentist. Integrity and Skills. Integrity where...

i wanted to tell you how i fight procrastination but somehow i keep putting it off...

i think it works both ways. If it becomes that 'commoditised' then any Lee, Kua or Yaw can do his own photography - why then would they want to engage photographers, no matter how cheap? The only way to block them is to start issuing licenses - doctor license, hawker license and now...

Generally you learn more in a course where you see the teacher face to face and interact with fellow classmates. Assuming that the teacher in NAFA is as good as those in NYIP and both are about the same cost, it makes more sense to go for the part-time diploma. If you are asking which is more...

a new beginning

I would second that. So many things can go wrong in internet sales that unless that website has a solid reputation, i think it is better to be more careful.

I do not doubt that. But the question is will a formula one driver wants to get into your car? Imagine driving a passenger car in a formula one race. He would prefer his own car. His own car is what i termed as a 'professional camera'. It is that equipment that he uses for...

there is also no way that a PnS can be mistaken for an assault weapon...can be a life-saver in war zones :)

Yeah Jeremy, I did pay a lot of attention to this point that the person behind the camera is more important than the camera itself. After all with a good camera, people respect the camera :) And yes Luntut, the most sophisticated cameras in the world will not make me a good photographer if my...

Hi Wilson, Just to share, I have a dry cabinet for the past 10 years and it has served me well without any maintanence. I did use some silica gel for a while but found the dry cabinet much more efficient. Hope this helps. oh...your question has been answered

catchlights, actually i have many questions - that is only one of them. To me, it is more a systematic process of making a good start. That is why the fundamental question: what is a professional camera? Is leica the way to go? Or canon? Or it does not matter? If canon, what configuration? And...

it still comes back to the question: will a pro use a consumer camera to do a professional job? I am not a professional so i cannot answer that question. But searching through the net, the answers appear to be yes if the client is happy with the prints. In the end, it boils down to your skills...

I came across this point and someone commented that for those pro whose business are that profitable, they are quite fortunate indeed because they can afford the best for work and play. Imagine leicas, hasselblads and all those gorgeous lens.
