Absolutely outrageous , enough to leave one extremely angry.
It just goes to show how some people can be so stupid and ignorant.

So sorry to hear that Ted. I know that feeling of anger when people assume things just because you have a DSLR in your hands. And in your situation it must have been worse still because your son was with you.

Why Nikon cameras only?

I don't often print photos, my main display mechanism is my TV via my AppleTV and a couple of small digital frames, but when I do print photos at home I only expect them to last a year or so before unacceptable fading sets in (I don't use anything unusual, just standard canon ink on photo paper). Are you guy using special ink or something to stop it fading? Or are you guys using a printing technology other than ink jet?
The link I put up describes in more detail about the technology. And it is my understanding and have been told by a lab technician that the right combination of paper and good ink is supposed to last 25 years provided certain recommendations are followed such as not displaying the image in direct sunlight etc

Jack the Snapper c/o Whitehall Images?

I am definitely taking my hiviz jacket, don't want to be caught with the DSLR on a tripod hanging over my shoulder. Perhaps I should write also with big luminous letters Pentax forum member and put the URL on it

Carl, let's put the issue to rest. Maybe it was still the effects of the smoke puffs I had last night that got me reacted the way I did with the term smart ass . I think we both had our wires crossed, you thinking I was being too sarcastic with my comments and me not being that sarcastic perhaps .

Gary, its safe now, kick start the next topic and I will go have a cup of tea as suggested by our respected Mod first and then comment on it .

Dan, do you think its safe for me to go wandering around bridges in London after a cup of tea?

and by the way the word ass is not a vulgarity it is a word for a donkey
I know very well what ass stands for and that's precisely why I didn't like it. So you think you can go around calling other people donkey and that is all ok with you?

As far as I can see there was nothing in my comment to justify such an attitude from you. Perhaps you should curb your language and learn to be more polite so that you don't insult other people.

This is absolutely beautiful, what a fantastic image.
Would love to see this in big size hanging on a wall.
Great capture

PS post crossed with amin's. I reckon my A4 cost is about a pound without the cost of the printer. Canon must be clever to get an A3 print on their paper using their inks for £2, but of course they are very clever!
Mike, I am not sure about the other papers, but the ones they state that costs under £2 is calculated with their top of the range Art Paper. These ones if I have them printed at my printers cost me £12.50 plus delivery. And they were the cheapest I could find around after searching. Finally I was recommended by Paul Lucas and I got them to print my A2 and A1 sizes.

I am assuming that there must be quite a difference in paper quality between matte or satin photo paper and the high quality Ar paper. Perhaps someone more experienced could clarify this.

And organicimagery, before you jump with your guns again blazing and start calling me names read my comment and take it literally rather than trying to extract innuendos out of it. And next time you want to use vulgarity and deteriorate the quality of the thread take it on PM so I can reply to your childish attitudes accordingly. I refuse to do it here and ruin the forum environment. We have had a few of those around lately, and that has been enough
