Hi I used to own few compact cameras in the past including canon s110, sony rx100 mk1 and canon g7x. I sold all of them as at that time I thought that I preferred the convenience of a mobile phone. However, over the last 1-2 years I am simply not satisfied with the mobile phone photos, as they...

Hi all and long time no see. I used to be a regular here and go back probably 15 years of not more. However the last few years were a bit hectic. I started a photography youtube channel during the pandemic, but when life went back to normal I just did not have time to continue. Just over a year...

Thank you. Do you know if I post via royal mail recorded, will it go through any local US provider?

Hi, I received my first order for a framed print to US and I am looking for advice on the best postal / courier service and also some packaging advice. The print is 16x12 plus frame size. Professionally framed with acrylic glass. Is royal mail suitable for this or I am better of with a...

This is an extremely valid point regarding the BookWright software from Blurb. It is very easy to assemble a book. What do you use for preparing a book for Mixam? Also how would you recommend to 'convery' a BookWright project into a ready for print Mixam pdf? Thank you.

Thank you. Regarding point three, the pages from Blurb were 148gsm so the closest from Mixam are 150gsm. Any experience how far 120gsm is from that in terms of feel? Would I be able to tell a difference?

Yes tou are right, perfect bound is the one I have on the book from Blurb. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you so much. A perfect reply. I will certainly give them a try.

Thank you for the offer. I think I will just order a copy to make sure I compare apples for apples.

Hi, I recently printed a photo book for a local brewery, as a token of thank you for allowing me to spend a day with them to document their activities. They liked it so much that they now want to print more copies for family and friends. The book I printed was a small 20x25cm soft cover book...

Thank you all for you advice and discussions. I am reopening after a while with another question. If the aim is to sell the images to parents, how do you go about it. 1) If the coaches ask for the purpose do I simply say that it is to provide the images to parents at a fee? 2) What is your...

Thank you so much, this is all very useful information.

Hi I mostly do landscape photography, but always had a thing for sports photography. I managed to access few high level sport events in Glasgow (when we still could) as a freelance photographer, where I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much. I recently had a chat with my son's football coach...

Agree. I upgraded C1 every year so far until now (which really made it not cheaper than LR subscription but I simply prefer C1), but decided not to upgrade to 21 this year as the 20 version is simply amazing as is, and improvements introduced to 21 are not worth upgrading for me.

From my experience AP is very good with panoramas, but not so good with stacking. I had few stacking issues for long exposure where the final image was simply soft. Running this past AP support team including sending them all images so that they can process themselves, they admitted that their...
