I did a search on the forum and decided on Bonusprint to get three large bigger than A3 prints done. It's a bit of an experiment really as i've never done this digitally before. I can let you know how they turn out if you like.

The other popular recommendations i found were: dscolourlabs, onevisionimaging, peakimaging and snapfish.
I have used BonusPrint for 16x12 prints and i have been more than happy with the results, Snapfish prints are a bit more contrasty and higher saturation if you prefer that in your images. I do`nt add any sharpening as some printers add their own so the results can be a bit over sharpened.

Hi,
Just had a look in the 2010 Freelance Photographers Market Handbook.
This suggests that if you are new to the field then let the company make you an offer but generally not accept less than £75 for Card and Calendar rights. You are free to sell the same pics to a non competing buyer (Say Magazine)at a later date but to another greeting card supplier.

Regards - Pete

New Double sided Inkjet Paper from Ilford -link
If there was a cheaper lightweight version it would be perfect for Calendars!

I firmly believe that Pentax cannot afford to ignore FF as the main contenders are already making cheaper versions of the original models.
Pentax would not have to produce a whole range of lenses themselves as they could be made by another manufacturer and re- badged in the same way as the Tokina made DA* 16-50 and 50-135. there is no reason to believe that APSC will disappear any time soon as it will retain a strong following for a long while yet.
But FF has to be the way forward, I came close to defecting after 35 years with Pentax, Many have already done so.
Kodak developed the Bayer pattern Sensor 30 years ago which is used under license by the majority of Sensors today. but a year ago they released the first of a brand new Sensor with each photosite 50% smaller and instead of two green, one red and one blue sensitive sites, One of the green ones was replaced by a site that is sensitive to all colours thus making it more sensitive in low light as it does not have to block out the other wavelengths as a normal photosite would do.
Its only a matter of time!!!

It is intended for still images but if you wanted to use it to make a movie then you could always re-set it after the 99th shot as long as the Camera was stable enough. Still a very useful feature for someone who does not do enough time lapse photography to justify buying a specialist piece of kit. Personally i find it useful for night shots when i am a long distance from the Camera You can set the time of the first shot which you can use to get closer to the subject with flash or handheld lamps and then set a different interval for subsequent shots without having to return to the Camera. I can use the pop up flash to indicate when the next exposure begins.

Best Regards - Pete.
