I suppose everyone will have their own view of what is the easiest path or not. I would contend that the Llanberis path is in fact the easiest (and alas most boring), my mother made it up with gammy leg and walking stick! And is the only route that has two cafe/toilet stops before the summit...

Just been faced with the same problem after upgrading to windows 7... I have ended up using Mozilla's free thunderbird http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-GB/thunderbird/ which seems to work like a dream... did I mention it was free :)

MUwahahaha If your in the market for saving ink it might just be easier to leave the lens cap on in the first place.... :)

Ok... I could just say... oh yeah that fixed it and probably not have to face the ensuing ridicule. Or.... I could just admit to having not removed the damn tape that covers the squirty hole!!!!! Oh well I didn't want the 6 hours or 7 sheets of photo paper that I just spent trying to correct...

Not even sure how to... but will give it a squint now

For some reason photoshop has begun printing blues as magenta. At first I thought that a plug-in that I was using had done some jiggery pokery but the effect is the same if I open a new document and fill it with blue paint.. it prints out in pink. I have never really bothered with colour...

Right here goes... First off thank you to everyone that chipped in on advice as to how to produce something similar to the above. Unfortunately... I utterly failed. Apart from failing to plan the whole shebang properly and then attempting to do it all in the 30 minutes between putting our son...

Could always head south east and take a boat trip from Beaumaris out to Puffin island for a glimpse of seals and the occasional puffin (bring a long lens). Penmon is a must for the lighthouse shot but I often take a picnic and sit and watch the seals there... bring your own doves and let...

Well... I am a marine biologist..... and you would be amazed at the many uses for a pot of Lord Sheratons Pure Bee's Wax Furniture polish... Oh man now im in trouble.. I will have to delete this thread or face imminent divorce!

:) Now now.. they stopped burning the English out in the 80's so it's quite safe on the island now... perhaps a tad far. Thanks for the all the advice and i'll post up some results as soon as I can convince the all powerful one to yet again disrobe for me... could be tricky.. she is currently...

Hi Gary, good to hear from you again! You were one of the guys that helped me out massively last time and I have been promising myself to sign up to your photolearn tutorials ever since... i'll get there I promise :) Ok... I can do two lights and put them on either side. Are you suggesting...

About 2 years ago when my wife was pregnant with our first child I posted a similar question to this. I posted a photo I had seen on the web and I asked for advice on how to reproduce something similar. Loads of people helped out and I was able to get a shot that I was very pleased with in the...

Not playing the game but that is a seriously good conversion. Top Bananas.

Here's mine.. I have always loved this photo of my better half... perhaps because she hates it! Taken at 6am up the side of a mountain freezing our tails off. No poses, no makeup... just her as is. "]http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=80669]

OnOne Suite is another one I had never heard of but looks rammed with good stuff, i can feel another trial download coming on. Cheers for the tip Hacker
