Two external hard drives attached to my laptop, and now got a new PC which I got an external Hard drive for a few days ago, important photos are now going on an external on each system, plus DVD back-ups, also I rarely delete off of SD cards, I prefer to just buy more cards though it`s getting a...

Ditto, doh :bonk:

It was same scenario for me for a wedding I shot last week, I used my 18-70 for that and it did a good enough job for everything I was after including in the [ photographically ] horribly lit registry office [ did some with and without flash as the registrar allowed it on the day ]. To the...

I have the Tamron 70-300mm on a Nikon D40, would`nt be without it ! I can`t afford `top notch` lenses either so did the same searching about before deciding on which one to get and the Tamron has turned out to be just right for my preferred targets to aim at, [ action shots of dogs and horses...

Just reporting back, my friends wedding went smoothly, the advice on here was invaluable to me as it meant I had a proper plan, back up kit, but above all more confidence about it, because of all the tips, than I could ever have mustered if I`d gone into it blind as it were, so huge thanks again...

Thanks guys :) RichardSea, my printer is a Brother which uses pigment for black and dye for the rest [ individual cartridge system, and there are no stockists of Brother paper in my area which is a bit daft :cuckoo: Richard I have bookmarked for a proper look through, thank you as well for...

If anyone had said that to me many years ago I would never have got married... Why oh why could`nt someone have said it in time :bonk::lol: [ yes I`m divorced, does it show :p ]

Yep :thumbs: I always crop mine [ admittedly mainly cos my camera does`nt have a dimension setting that I would print from `as is` ], so all my uploaded shots are provable as being mine due to the original size therefore the uncropped and un-pp`d versions being something a photo thief could`nt...

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, thank you, but I`m not using a lab, I do enjoy printing and have got my printer set up for a good colour match to my screen so I can trust what`s going to come out, I just need to know what sort of paper the more experienced have preference for...

Calling Wedding Togs who do the printing themselves: I photographed a dear friends wedding today [ she asked me to do it as the official tog :eek: ], and I decided to do the prints as their wedding present, most will be full colour, a few will be black and white, and a couple will be black...

A dear friend is getting married soon and has asked me to do the photos as they can`t afford a pro, they know I don`t usually photograph people, my preference is pics of dogs and horses mainly, I`ve covered the `please don`t hate me if I screw it up` angle with them :lol: and am relieved to find...
