Just creating a Loxley Infinity coffee table book. The software guidelines have a cropping area well inside the fullest margins. I have some pictures that I want full page but that have some detail right near the edge. The software recommends taking the edge of the picture to a line well...

Thanks Jim I'm working to a tight budget so trying to go with the flow! The alternative is a £20 traditional album from WH Smith and sticking some prints in it! I've tried googling mta madison and can't find what it is.

Had a browse through the different threads and there certinly seems to be varying opinion on suppliers. I've used Cewe and Pixum before. Been happy with both. Just wondering if another supplier will give me a little more quality for a wedding photobook I need to do. I've tried Blurb but like...

Just had to send 75% of my latest order back to Bonusprint.

Just had some prints from them - they were fine.

As a Cumbrian resident i would say: Don't assume the weather will be good. Even on good days it can be pretty hazy. Try to go beyond the typical tourist areas (difficult if relying on public transport). The further north and west you go, the further from tourists. Catbells is nice but at this...

Thanks for that. If you didn't have the 70-300 now, would you be frustrated at not having the longer zoom?

I'm an enthusiastic amateur on a real tight budget and this is my first post here. I bought a Nikon D40 a couple of years ago as it was all I could afford. I also have a Tamron AF 80-200 zoom. This only works as manual focus on the D40 and I'm a bit fed up with it and want to upgrade to...

New member here. Been keen on photography since pre-digital days with my Pentax Me Super. I'm working with strictly budget end of the range equipment - Nikon D40, Tamron non-autofocus Zoom lens, Jessops flash etc, but looking to expand my horizons a little.
