Lovely quote from babelfish!!

I haven't actually got round to using them for doing this yet, but Metro Colour Lab do panoramic. If you ring them up, they will quote for whatever size you want (ie bigger than the ones shown on the prices page).

As I say, I can't speak of the quality, but they are a company I used to send my slides to for processing in the (good old ) film days, and was very happy with their service then.

Congrats - its a lovely piccy!
Andy

Look forward to your thoughts and impressions!
Andy

Very nice indeed! I see the prices are in $. Does it come from USA?

Or could it be the square format sensor, or Pentax equiv of what Samsung announced or...

Andy

I went for a 3 stop ND Cokin (or something) on the basis that at camera iso 100, it will give me the equivalent of iso 12 (3 stops down from iso100); at iso 200 an equiv of iso 25 (2 stops down from iso 100); and iso 400, and equivalent of iso 50 (1 stop down from iso 100).

This on my K10D where camera iso 400 is still fairly noise free!

I hope that makes sense!

I did a wedding a few years back where the photographer was wandering all over the place, and in the middle of doing the vows with the couple, I was suddenly aware that he was at ground level, near my feet, getting a vertical shot of the couple

Our church doesn't do special 'first communions' - however when we have a baptism, and I am asked if its ok to take photos, I usually say to the family that it is, and just ask them to take pictures from where they are rather than wandering around, and trying to get centre stage and so obstruct everyone else's view! (I am a vicar BTW!).

I tend to discourage photos during weddings (apart from the official photographer, who I ask to take piccies without flash). One of the problems I have had was looking up from the 'book of words' at the moment a flash went off, and then struggling to read the next set of words

As usual its trying to get the balance between wanting to have a record of the occasion, and just being there for what the occasion is for.

Hope that helps, although obviously I don't know that particular priest will respond


Now of course, if I saw someone with a Pentax...

Hi Vormulac, and welcome; which 'bit' of London are you from?
