how important is lighting or the right angle of the camera to making your subject look good? A picture often says a lot about a person... I mean, its a reflection of your image. However no matter how beautiful a person is, do you find that if the angle is off or the lighting is terrible... it often makes a person look bad? I have taken 100's of pictures of my friends... and those friends that I find attractive. Yet maybe 50% of those pictures are not so flattering due to setup. But they always take it personally. In your opinion how important is lighting or the right angle of the camera to making your subject look the most attractive?

Got flashed by a red light camera but I was running a green light? It was about 9:30 pm and I was going past a red light camera area.

Can I argue against the ticket from a red light camera that I got when trying to make a left turn? The red light camera went off while I was making a left turn today. I was waiting at the light to make a left turn when the light was green. I was the first car in the line and I was slightly infront of the white line. The thing is that there wasn't an opening until the cars slowed down for the yellow light. As I waited to make sure that the cars would come safely to a stop (there are plenty of NYC cars that would go through the red light), The light turned red as i began to make the left turn and the red light camera went off. Is there a chance that I argue against it? Thanks for your responses. I reading up on the NYS DMV it states that I can enter the intersection when green and make the turn as cars stop for the red light. "You want to turn left at an intersection ahead. A vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, going straight ahead. You must wait for approaching traffic to go through before you turn. You may enter the intersection, however, to prepare for your left turn if the light is green and no other vehicle ahead of you is preparing for a left turn (see "Turns" later in this chapter). When you enter the intersection, stay to the right of the center line. Keep your wheels straight to avoid being pushed into oncoming traffic should a rear-end collision occur. When approaching traffic clears or stops for a red light, complete your turn."
