Looks I won't be upgrading to the 600D and will be jumping straight to the 9D instead :coat:

Entered, if I win first prize I'll be polite and say I'll accept second prize instead so someone else can try their hand with the 7D while I make do with the 5D.

My Blurb photobook had the Imagewrap cover and I was very happy with it. It was a present for someone so sorry I can't take a picture of it for you. There's not much to add to Blurb's description of Imagewrap posted above, except to say that it is accurate. I will be having my next photobook...

I'm not sure this is right - if a RAW file was an HDR image then nobody would buy Photomatix etc, they would just shoot RAW for free. HDR means that the image captures a greater dynamic range than a single exposure. This can be desirable if there is detail in both dark areas e.g. shadows and...

I've had two photobooks done, one by Blurb and one by Lulu. I will be getting Blurb to do my next one. The free bookmaking software is a doddle to use, and you do it all offline on your PC. When it's ready you hit publish and off it goes to Blurb (can take a while to upload depending on the...
