That wasn't accidental as I am sure you realise! The popularity of the Lubitel images does intrigue me though.

Views of images hotlinked from flickr (e.g., looking at them on this forum) do not count and so I have no idea what the issue is here?

There is actually quite a lot on this if you look.

The two main issues are (a) making sure your monitor is colour calibrated and (b) making sure your preferred software is using the appropriate profile for your printer/paper/ink combination.

Personally, I send run-of-the-mill snaps to Bonusprint and the occasional high-end large print to the Siskin Press. I use Blurb for photobooks which has become my preferred way of doing lots of prints on one theme/for one purpose. It would be nice to be able to do prints in-house as Bonusprint sometimes mess up (mainly with dark low key images where they boost the brightness and spoil the intended effect) but currently I have neither the cash nor the space to devote to this.

Colour and mono seem to work equally well to my eye. Personally, I prefer the mono but that is more a reflection of my tastes than anything else.

Need? No. Want? Only you know that.

If I had that sort of cash spare I'd be considering the K-5 but I don't and I am rarely frustrated with the K20D for the sorts of photography I enjoy. Even if I had the money I would still be of a mind to invest in some quality long lenses instead. It is not that I think the K-5 isn't a good camera, it is just that my priorities lie elsewhere at the moment. I'll probably pick up a second hand one a few years down the line.

In this internet age I am surprised that a magazine like Which survives at all no matter how good or bad it is.

Oh well, that blows that idea out of the water!

Cheers, Kris.

I have no James, very nice as always.

Work in Romania went very well if somewhat tiring. Various posts from that trip are posted in the "My Pictures" section.

Best wishes, Kris.

Nice to see you again. Your studio work is always great to see, I wouldn't know where to start!
