definitely go back to the club. you will learn from the speakers that come,most i have found are very approachable and quite happy to chat about their work and methods also enter the competitions as win or lose the judges critique on all the types of pictures entered is an excellent learning aid. i would think that the majority of people in it, or at least the ones that care about it, realise without youngsters coming in the club will just die. the club i am in is quite small and had an influx of new members ,six to be precise which took us to over 50 for the first time in its history, 5 of which are under 25 and one lad in particular is clearing up the print competitions. there are the dissenters amongst the old guard but the general feeling is that he is a breath of fresh air along with the others and definitely needed by the club

here you go, as i said they all seem very happy with them, and one came 2nd in print of the year last season at the club, not bad as his first season.

i print my own , but 4 of my friends use ProAm imaging for all of theirs and they seem very happy with the quality and price

if it is just for yourself and you only need a few, charity shops are a good scource of cheap picture frames, if there is a picture in it just bin it,unless your lucky to find something special.

enjoy, you jammy so and so, i thought and felt the same when i bought my DA15 for the same price, not envious really

+1 for the lens pen, re uv filters, i remember somewhere it was mentioned about using these and the one comment that stuck in my mind was " why would you put a cheap piece of glass in front of a lens that a, you paid a lot of money to get top quality glass and b, they are protected from damage by a hood", that as we all know should be in place when lens is in use

would just like to give a heads up to the brilliant service i have just had from Johnsons, camera posted last Saturday (1st) returned yesterday (7th), auto focus sensor adjusted,checked and tested,and 2yr warranty honoured. 6 month guarantee on repair. now a happy bunny

i use a Black Rapid RS4 with the BRAD strap which attaches to the main strap and goes around your back ,so you can bend down without the camera falling off your shoulder. excellent piece of kit imo

i was in the same situation and picked up an Epson R1800 A3+ printer for £90 on ebay, it has been great so far, 12 months, just have to print only what i need to due to ink cost.have fitted a waste collection system to it to stop the sponge from saturating and killing it.really satisfying i find from camera to print all on your own

disgusting,sheer profiteering
