Is the ink head easy to remove?

Hi, hope someone can help me. I'll start by saying that I am not very technical. My Epson stylus 1400 is not printing properly. I've ran the head clean program numerous times and realigned the heads. It looks like it's only the black ink that is blocked. Do I just keep running the head...

The band thing keeps it out of the way when i'm on the body board. It stays in place better against neoprene. Swimming, sometimes I loop it around my cossie strap and shove it down the front so it's out of the way :-)

I can vouch for the olympus tg. Very robust. Mine's been in the north sea almost twice a week for the past year. Whatever you get, rinse it after it's been in the sea and let the seals dry properly. i use a fine paint brush for getting any sand out. So i'm not always holding the camera, I...

I'm fascinated with the whole thing and i get the photos from a reportage aspect . Didn't even realise that there were groups of folk who dedicate time and believe in this beyond the theatrical element. As someone who sea swims regularly, i'm also interested in the practicalities of using the...

Process some of them with high contrast. You might be surprised at thevresults :-)

Have a word with your mates first and see if there are any angles they'd like taken. Mu hubby's a bass player and I get into trouble for chopping the headstock off the bass. Not sure if other musicians are so fussy ;-). You might struggle with the shutter speed, but as has already been said...

You can also make/buy very cheap on board flash diffusers if you want to try that first... Not great but will let you see a subtle difference. Cut the bottom off a white, semi-opaque container and hold it over the flash or use ciggie papers.

I like it. The lines are great and I agree that I don't think that you could replicate such a tactile image using digital techniques. I admire your dedication.

Good idea for a project and some lovely photos there. Great detail in the eyes and nice DOF

Ta. EWA website was helpful - about £200. Only seen this type of bag on ebay from Hong Kong or China so didn't want go down that route. These look much more robust. Anyone ever used them?

Sorry, by waterproof, I mean to use under water - sea, lakes etc - this country mainly so cold. :)

Does anyone know where you can get a waterproof housing for a Canon 20D. I know they're not cheap, but any ideas of price and has anyone used one? Thank you in advance for any tips. L

Just found this thread and it's great. Some work better than others but, really, hats off for seeing this through with so many different scenarios. He has taken on a character (as has been said). Personally, I think I like the ones taken from behind him, looking at his view. Is t a he...
