    Can anyone recommend an online printer?

    Try snapfish, if you get your internet from Virgin media you can get 25 free prints every month, if not look at your flickr homepage and on the bottom right you will see codes for 50% off every snapfish item and 50 free prints, service is good and prints are done to a good standard. Check it...

    Saltburn by the sea

    I was asking if this lift is part of something else? A tourist attraction? Does the area have any good photographic opportunities? I travel a lot with work all over the UK and I sometimes have time between appointments to have a stop off and look around. Darlington is an area where I will be...

    Saltburn by the sea

    I think the Lynton one is the only water powered one, have read through the link/website I posted it is quite clever how it works, what else is around the Darlington lift? I will be in that area in a few weeks and may stop off for a few hours to have a look.

    I use all Canon L glass and the bigma comes nowhere near, so it keeps my door open.

    Sigma 150-500 f5 or Nikon 300f4?

    I have a Sigma 150-500, it was left to me in a relatives kit bag, which is quite sad. But as a lens I use it as a door stop for my office, I tried it once and it was giving my camera a catteract. I would buy the Nikon/Canon lens that suits your preffered body and not Sigma, Tamron, Tokina etc...

    Best places in the world for a photography trip?

    I would fly to Phoenix, then head north on I 17 towards Cotton wood and stay in Sedona, use this stunning place as a base, from here Grand Canyon, Monument valley, LA, Vegas etc are all within a days drive at most. J

    New Printer A4 to A3?

    R2880, I have had one for a year or so now, excellent results but I personally would steer clear of copy ink or continuos systems. The reason I had to buy R2880 was my old Epson printer clogged the heads with crap ink! I argued with the continuos systems sales people at Focus last year about the...

    Unable to get decent print

    every picture I have taken to Costco and had great service, if you feel there is a cast they will adjust there and then while you watch and advise then print again and only charge for the final image (Haydock store) great service J
