    Where do you buy frames for your printed photos?

    +1 for the range. Recently bought 2 A4 and 3 A3 frames for my office. Nice and simple black frames, with white mounts.

    Camera back pack help

    Not my best ever image :-) but you should get a sense of scale from this. 90d + Sigma150-600 The bag at the end of the lens is the external cover.

    Camera back pack help

    I had a trip to WEX Leeds this morning. I was able to try out a number of backpacks, and eventually went for this one. https://www.wexphotovideo.com/manfrotto-pl-backloader-backpack-m-3015662 I found the two lowepro flipside 300 & 400 could not accommodate the 90D + Sigma 150-600 without...

    Camera back pack help

    I've got a similar dilemma, with a 90D and the same lens as Jan. Ordered and returned a couple from Amazon. Went into LCE in Oxford - not much choice. So I am planning a trip to Harrisons Cameras in Sheffield, who seem to have a good range. I think being able to handle and try is the best bet.

    Epson ET 8550

    Still incredibly impressed with this printer, however... I have been having a lot of bother connecting to it over wifi. The epson status monitor and windows (11) were rarely finding the printer on the wifi network. Tried both 2.4ghz and 5. So this morning i decided to have a little re-arrange of...

    Epson ET 8550

    I'm just getting back into Photography after a long work inflicted / other hobby hiatus. My last printer was a (probably) circa 2005 300dpi Epson something or other. Everything had dried up and it went to the great recycling centre in the sky. After watching many a youtube video, esp Keith...

    Billybob's 52 2011 week 7 "DELICATE"

    HI Andrew, Really like the first shot - very atmospheric The NEW shot is pretty good too - the angle it is shot at gives it an almost horselike (neck / head ) appearance. The bokeh and plain background make the subject stand out for me too. Ian
