Its a bit pricey. At first when I saw their location I jumped with joy, its just around the corner from where I am, but then looked at their prices and I was a bit shocked.
I manage to get my canvas from link and an A1 size canvas cost me £60 plus delivery.
And other prints such as in Art paper I got printed in A2 sizes were just absolutely fantastic. A2 sizes in Art paper cost me only £20 each and A1 at £40. Although I have no other experience in seeing results from other printers but these ones looked amazingly great. Had a few of my smoke images printed and everyone of my friends who dropped by and saw them wouldn't leave without taking a few with them and I ended up with nothing again. So am readin to send for a few more prints.

Oh and their prices in Satin paper is £25 for A1 size and £12.50 for A2 sizes

Very friendly chaps too, spoke to someone called Martin Adams and helped me out through the whole process.

I was referred to them by Paul Lucas and he uses them for a long time and rates them highly too.

This seems pretty interesting. Where can I get my hands on a set of this? Clarky do you still use yours? Where did you get them from? Ebay I suppose was it? How much do they usually go for?

I certainly would love to get my hands on one if its not very expensive and give it a try.

Thanks

Amin

Sorry Pedro I am lost with what you are trying to say. Can't get exactly what you are implying.
But I like the pose of the man in the first image, seems in total sync with Marta's steps and his smile and face turned at an angle rejoicing the moment next to Marta .

Nice Shot!

PS Amin, earlier today I happened to be reading io9 (a sci-fi blog) and it had a showcase of the winners of the Royal Observatory Astronomy Photographer of the Year awards. Your moon shot (and Mike's, for that matter) rivals that of the winner of the 'Our Solar System' category.
Tim, that's very kind of you to say that. That's quite a boost for my ego . But I think my shot is nowhere as close to some of the forum members moon shots I have seen here . And you have to see Mike-P's arsenal of moon shots he has. Some he managed to get at certain phases of the moon are absolutely stunning.

Mike, dig them out for us come on, it will be easier you uploading them here than us going looking for them on the old threads

The second is more to my taste, if I remember correctly I took this one at the same time you did yours.

Yes Mike, I think it was even on the same day. We went wild on the moon that evening ha Quite a few of us here in the forum were hunting the moon on that particular evening. I had just acquired the lovely DA*300 and was trying it.

Yours look at the same stage, yup and I remember the tips you gave me that evening when I came in with some poor shots and you advised me to keep it at around 180 shutter speed

Mark, you lost me there , which area is too dark now?

Come on, admit it you just want me to stop working on the moon and lock myself in the shed don't you?

Been comparing both the previous one with this and I just like the colours of this one better. But I am curious to know which part do you refer to that is one of the prominet features of the moon that is often very light?

You think you can stretch my patience? You just watch Mark, who is going to be the first one to break here

Let me try this again.
I went back to the RAW file and brought it down manipulating it less.
I wonder how this one compares to the first one
