you can also clog your print heads up possibly more so with Epson as their nozzles are reputed to be a lot finer than some of the other manufacturers plus if the prints do not dry due to ink not being absorbed by the paper correctly before it hits the exit rollers you will have real mess to clean up. also if you are not doing loads of printing and no larger than A4 the possible cost saving may well be outweighed by the problems that could occur. 7 day shop i have always found offer fair prices on genuine inks, Permajet Papers i have found to be of excellent quality and they will provide custom profiles for your printer/paper combination free i believe plus if you went to one of their open days as i did last year all the printers right up to large format were Epson

tried the remove to replace with a new one ended up buying 2, takes vey little to put a flaw into it.

must admit i to have found the K5 original and 11s very good when left in auto wb ,certainly in daylight hours with only a need to set a wb when shooting at night or creating a custom wb for something like IR

thanks for the comments. you are correct Peter a project 52 using the interiors but there is always more than just that. all these were HDR except the Bellcote and the pages about the window. i usually bracket all the shots then sort out afterwards which will get HDR processing and which will not depending on the look i want, the thing i like about these little Churches is that i am on my own so do not have to wait for people to get out of the way also i can move things that are out of context to the place, usually electric heaters and fire extinguishers but always put them back. the ones i am lest fond of is where the pews have been removed and they use chairs but at least the communities are still using them. off to one this week that looks as though it is stripped of all seating. the other thing is all the snippets of information you find out about them. had one a few weeks back where as well as the Church being a listed building so were the chest tombs, another had very ornate floor to ceiling tombs , they never fail to surprise me.
Andrew, i knew they would get love or hate responses but i really did think Adams Family when i shot those so i knew exactly what i was going to do with them
Cheers Chris

St Kenelms, Alderley, Gloucestershire. a fairly plain Church inside but different in being decorated in pink and cream. the outside area just lent itself to be played with though. Alderley House is next to the Church and was built for the Hale Family who were also invoved with the Church rebuild

St Kenelms, Alderly, original Church was 15th century of which the tower remains ,rest rebuilt in 19th century. the Victorians have a lot to answer for in lost history with a lot of the churches i have come across while doing this project

i was saying that this happens if you have to stack a combination of the Cokin ND filters to get the balance you need for the shot, i have seen it commented on many times in various places and suffered from it myself so swapped to Hi-Tech but as you say not actually needed as much these days with the advances in software to replicate their use .

only problem with Cokin is the magenta colour cast you get if you need to stack them, the slight blue you can get from Hi-Tech is much easier to remove with a little warm up in colour temp.

thanks Don, not to David's level yet but will keep trying. thanks David and Maria, from that i think these must be the wild variety as they were growing around other plants in the wood. need to get a better flower book

thanks John, had a look at Columbine photo's on the net and they again are not quite the same but will see if i can find more images to compare.
thanks Nigel, told you it was very green, the flowers were all lit by the sun with the Twayblade being part shaded by a bank with patches of sunlight coming through so just had to crawl around to line it up. out of the landscapes i probably prefer the barn as it is on the bottom third and gives a point to start from whereas the other has the track to follow but goes the "wrong way" from how i would like it to but the view was better on the left of the house than the right, can't have everything you want in life i suppose

really like the first one, the second one not so much, it would have been better if the whole of the bench was in shot and a bit more detail in the sky
