Any simple editing program will allow cutting it down, but you don't have to do that because you submit printed versions and you just tell the printing program what size you want in most cases.

How much to get a copy of an exclusive museum film?

It's called Migration by Todd Aitken. Only twenty four minutes long, but very beautiful and captivating. I tried googling it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to buy it online. Spoke to a guide, and be said I could try contacting the representative that owns the film - but it could cost $10,000 or something to get a copy. Thoughts?

Questions like yours annoy me, don't rush off in a huff though.

The shots in your links are made by a variety of lenses, some are wide angle and other are more at the telephoto end. You really need to decide on what you want to achieve, the type of result you want and then take it from there. Your best bet would be to give the local library a visit and read through a couple of photography guide books, photographers know which lens will give them the effect or result that they want, that's just as much a part of photography as pressing the shutter release.

I've covered fun runs with a 90mm lens and the results were decent, you should really be working out what your own preference is, not asking a bunch of strangers what theirs is.

I'm currently in the market for a 70-200 F2.8 for covering fun runs, here's a typical shot that I've taken with basic kit, it's not going to win any prizes, it's just to let you see that I actually do know what i'm talking about.

Can anyone help me analyze "The Council of the Gods" painting by Paul Rubens for the Marie de Medici cycle?

I'm doing a paper on this painting and although I can get the basic allegorical/mythological figures (Jupiter and Juno, Apollo and Minerva, Envy, Discord, Venus), there are so many other figures in the painting that I'm not entirely sure what some of them represent. If anyone studies French Art History, please help!
