elle101604 asked:


specifically Canon. Are they made differently? Can some of them if not all of them be used on both camera types (film and digital)? Are there risks using a film lens on a digital camera?

What are the E-book Marketing Strategy!

Pardeep asked:


The purpose in writing an e-Book can be varied, depending on your personal or business goals, but whether you choose to give your e-Book away as a free marketing tool, or sell it as a profit-producing product; you want to get as many copies onto the computer desktops of your readers as possible. That’s why it’s important that your e-Book have an edge.

What kind of edge?

Well, for one thing, you can write about a topic that isn’t commonly available. Let’s say your e-Book is about producing e-Books. There are a ton of e-Books available on this topic, yet many seem to simply rehash the same information you can visit www.easy-pdf-toolkit.com On the other hand, there aren’t an abundance of e-Books available about using desktop publishing techniques to make your e-Book stand out from the masses, yet it’s a topic that can help even novice e-Book producers create more attractive and well designed e-Books. Selecting an important, but scarcely covered topic — or aspect of a more common topic — will definitely give your e-Book an edge.

Another crucial edge to massive e-Book sales is to “attach” an original e-Book cover to your e-Book. Granted, you can’t physically attach a cover, but you can virtually attach one. And since the online world in which we live every day is virtual, it stands to reason that e-Books have virtual covers, as well.

Consider the world of physical books. Few people would buy a book without a cover. I wouldn’t, and I buy a LOT of books — just ask my husband! Why should e-Book customers be different?

If your customer can afford to buy only one e-Book and they are given the option of selecting your e-Book with a beautiful graphic image that makes the e-Book seem like a real, physical product… or your competitor’s e-Book that doesn’t include a cover graphic and which seems like only one more link to one more site… which do you think they would choose? Which would YOU choose?

Would you rather click on a link that says?

Download Your E-Book Here!

Or one with a colorful, graphic image that depicts the topic of your e-Book and gives it an “image” [in your mind] of its own,

the choice is simple. And the choice will be simple for your customers and prospects, too.

An e-Book cover is a tremendous edge that you can give your e-Book for very little, if any, cost. E-Book covers are affordable even for those of us who haven’t reached our six-figure income mark yet or go to www.create-own-ebook.com

One site that offers creative e-Book covers that most anyone can afford is Rebecca White, the designer, has created a number of very creative e-Book covers. Rebecca’s work shows talent and her prices are very reasonable. On the ‘Net, image is everything. Rebecca can help you create yours.

If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, however, there is a little piece of software available that can help you create your own e-Book cover. It’s called, appropriately enough, E-Book Cover Creator, and it’s very easy to use. Visit for more information.

Whichever way works best for you, the image of your e-Book can make or break its success and reception online. That’s why it’s crucial that you not entrust something over which you have slaved and into which you have invested hours of valuable time to a simple text link. Attach it to an image that will take it beyond the realm of virtual into the world of visual and watch your downloads skyrocket.

How to destroy the film in a camera both disposable and just from a non-disposable camera?

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
film
Me asked:


As above.

I was just pondering the question and could not find anything on this on the internet, maybe I’m not articulating it the way google would be able to understand. I’m always told if the disposable film on the canister is exposed to the light it will be damaged, but then how do you even get the film out?

Thanks,

Me.

I need help finding a book on how to survive and snake/bird species identification?

Survivor asked:


I’m a survival enthusiast and i love nature. I’m going to see if i can survive without any help or supplies, like food in the mountains of kentucky. I want a survival book to help me out and i just want the identification books for fun.

It’d be nice to have as accurate a book as possible, i mean for the location, because obviously a desert survival book won’t help much.

How can I become a published book reviewer?

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

sweet byrd asked:


I am a librarian, and I have written book reviews before (for professional journals). However, my work has been in a very specialized subject area, and I’d really like to expand my horizons by reviewing books aimed at the more general reading public. I know I probably won’t be paid for my work — and that is fine with me, since all I want is a byline from whoever publishes my work, but I am having a really hard time finding any publication (print or electronic) who wants a book reviewer.

My only criteria for who I’ll consider writing for: 1) only legitimate publications (no porn or ad-only sites, nothing crime connected), 2) if the publication has a social, religious or cultural agenda, it needs to be clearly spelled out (no stealth propaganda sites).

I’m a good writer, and I’ll work for free. There has to be someone out there who wants free book reviews! Can anyone help?
To clarify: I understand that I probably won’t be paid when I am just starting out. That is fine, since my major goal right now is to build my portfolio. I’m looking to be paid later on down the line — after I have assembled a portfolio of work to prove my worth.

Is it practical to double major in film and journalism?

Monday, March 2nd, 2009
film
J asked:


I have declared a double major in film and journalism in order to pursue avenues of work that I know I will enjoy but many people are telling me it is impractical to double major in two things that don’t significantly enhance the other major (such as Journalism and Broadcasting; Film & Broadcasting; Film & Photography; English and Film, etc.) Do you think that I will inevitably forego one field for the other and later on look back and believe that I wasted my money on school? Input? Advise? Has anyone else done this?
