    Backdrops required.

    For hanging sheets, Argos are doing a height adjustable Clothes Tidy Rail for £5.99, two side by side work really well for double sheets and you can turn one into a long adjustable rail, it has a couple of pieces on the ends that go over the top of a couple of small light stands really well...

    Graphics Tablet?

    Can't wait.. :-D I have a Wacom Intuos3 A5 Wide on order, used a Trust A4 for a long time with the PC at work but the Wacom is for my Mac Book Pro. I find it much easier and more natural in Photoshop than a mouse :-)

    I've gone Mac!

    I switch a month ago :-D Got a lovely Macbook Pro to go with my iPod Touch :-) Took the plunge and used bootcamp to Vista on it - Vista lasted 15mins before getting removed. OS X is great, I think I'd struggle to go back, which is funny as I provide support for Windows. :-D I wish I'd done it...

    Request to publish an image via Flickr

    I can see why they'd want to publish the pic, it's a fantastic image and a very worthy winner. Seeing as it was the winner and published in the Countryfile 2008 Calendar, are there not restrictions on it being published elsewhere? These comps. usually have something. Best of luck with it...

    Product Photography

    4k isn't that high a charge for that number of items. Even though it's your first time, I think at 2k your undervalueing yourself. 200 items is a hell of a lot work. I used to shoot products for a local computer company and did that many items once, and only once, it'll take you a lot longer...

    Price to charge for a photo

    With the eiffel tower and night pictures I believe you'll find it's the light show that is copyright as it's a performance, not the tower itself. As to the original question, if they want a print then the prices quoted above are fine for people you know, but you might like to check...

    Help Needed, please - Digital to 35mm slide

    Hi Folks First off this is not a joke. Does anyone know of a UK company who can print digital images onto 35mm slides. Preferably with a web address. My local Camera club has a monthly Print ( I do OK :D ) and Slide Competition, but the slide side of things is really going downhill in...
