I'm eligible to get my license but my mom wants me to take drivers ed....i found that floridasafety.org offers a 5 % discount to progressive customers, and it says it clearly on the website...but driversed.com says it depends on the insurance company...but they will offer a 10% discount, so what i'm asking is Does progressive give a 10% discount for taking it through driversed.com ?

I'm trying to improve, and eventually get the 5D mark ii

Do you think i could possibly make a career out of photography, and how can i improve on what i have already? Thanks

a portrait i'm working on...i'm curious if you guys think it's good enough quality for me to start selling my work...or creating my own website..something along those lines...

I've won a few art competitions and spend a lot of time drawing...so...comments, criticism, advice?

And for example if i were to see this or something of similar quality, what should i charge...this is probably 12-13 hours of work..

I'm also 16 if that changes anything... and it's still a WIP

I have a 2003 mustang v6 and whenever I have people in the backseat my car makes this horrible clunking sound on the right side....usually when we hit a pothole or a bump in the road...but I had 4 people in the car last night and it was doing it when I was accelerating...i've heard it could be my shocks...but whnever I have only myself and another passenger in the car it doesn't make this sound....it almost sounds like something is hanging from the bottom of my car and hitting the ground....what do you think?

I really really dislike Jane Eyre, yet you may adore it. Thoughts, opinions?

okay so I've wondered this since I was little, if it's normal to see rays or beams of light coming from headlights or telephone poles or even my phone screen and tv screen....sometimes I can make the beams go away on my phone or tv by opening my eyes really wide but not on street lamps of headlights or stop lights...is this normal? is it a sign of something? Is there any way to fix it?

here's a photo representation of what I see everyday

I really want to make money, and i thought, hey, i could probably sell my drawings. I'm 16 and i've learned to draw on my own through trial and error. I was thinking i could sell them for maybe 150-200 $, i mean i've seen some horrible drawings go for $300-500 and i've seen some mediocre ones go for 1000$

Do you think my work is good enough to sell and am i asking too much??

here's one i'm almost finished with http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1691/murphr.jpg

And here is one i won in an art competition for, though i do not consider it my best work.

Here are some older drawings/studies

So what do you think?!

For example, being excellent at music, or painting, or drawing. Creating things that are TRULY beautiful, or have beauty?

Okay so it's 3:10 where i am and no matter what time zone i change my account on flickr to, it's still 5 hours ahead of me and now all my stats are messed up, what do i do?!

If you could give me some critiques on what i should be changing, doing more or less of would be greatly appreciated, i'm 16 with a canon 500D and mainly shoot with a 50mm f 1.8, and would very much love to upgrade to a 5D Mark ii. What do you think of my stream and do you think i am/should get a full frame DSLR?

Just, in general, what do you think of it, what's good, what's bad, what could i fix or attempt to make better/ work on?

Thanks.

I was going to get this computer

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+/+AMD+Turi...

As it has 500gb of memory and 3gb of ram which is expandable to 8gb

Then this laptop caught my eye, for only $30 more i get an additional 2 inches of screen size, another gb of ram and still 500gb or harddrive space.

I'm wondering which is the best offer? I will be uploading a LOT of photo's and watching a lot of youtube videos etc. No gaming. And i know the first computer is a turion and has a dual core processor, and i'm not sure if the second one does, what are your thoughts?

I'm doing a photo shoot that involves jasmine and aladdin, and i was wondering what you thought about these two people, could you see them as Jasmine and Aladdin when in costume and using props and such?

Neither are arabic, but they're the best i can come up with, so what do you think?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/seirra/5209780947/

Any advice you could give me on what i should change or improve on? What's good/bad about it?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/seirra/5209780947/

Anything you'd advise changing or fixing?

Should i leave it the way it is?

Just your thoughts

I'm 15 with a canon t1i and a 50mm 1.8

What are your thought on how i could improve/what you do like/what you don't like, for example if you don't like the composition or the exposure etc.

I have a 50mm f 1.8 on my Canon 500D and a month ago it the tripod my camera was on fell over and the lens got stuck on my camera, i finally got it off with a bit of force, and there's nothing exactly wrong, but now my 50mm at 1.8 is extremely blurry compared to my kit lens, like the focused parts aren't sharp, they're blurry and have a kind of halo/glow to them, But at f 3.5 it looks fine, it's jsut when i got down to a very low aperature...i'm getting a new 50mm 1.8 in a few days, and i think it's this lens because the focus ring gets stuck when I'm trying to manually focus it, and when i shake the lens a bit it feels loose, like something has been knocked loose inside...

So my question is...do you think it's this lens? Or damage to my camera?

I wanted to know what tips you could give me, some concrete advice, such as composition improving, lighting, color balance et.

Could you tell me what you do like already and what you don't like/ think i could improve on?

And or do you like my ideas?
