My wife takes a lot of pictures on Kodak 200 film, or so. When she takes
them to Boots (or elsewhere) to be printed, are they going to be printed
on photographic paper? Or is Boots (or elsewhere) going to scan the negs
and print them on an inkjet printer (or laser, etc)?

Next month I'm looking to purchase a Canon 40D, 70-200 F2.8L, 17-40 F4L and
a 1.4x Teleconverter. I've been scouring the internet for the best prices
and there is quite a variation between some of them. Can anybody recommend a
good supllier, been a Yorkshireman I'm looking for ...

OK - I confess, I probably didn't store them very well. But I now have
1500 slides, of which perhaps 10% appear to have some growth on the
emulsion. They date from about 1967 to now and are all Kodachrome 2, 25,
or 64.

I need to shoot a sequence over ~ 6 hours, taking 640x480 pics every
0.5 - 1 second, these being stored as sequentially numbered jpegs.
Can anyone recommend the best software (running under windoze 2k or
xp) for doing this?

Well it had to happen at some point my Fuji S2 Pro has stopped writing to
the card. I know it's the camera as I tested the card in another camera and
the Fuji reads the images it just doesn't write them. All batteries are new
and does the same on mains.

I have a few digital holiday images which I need printed for an elderly
relative.  Can anybody recommend an instant high street service (boots
perhaps) or an mail order or online service which is reasonably cheap but
reliable.

With a birthday coming up and family asking what I would like as a
gift, I wondered about a photography book.
Can anyone recommend a book that is not about technique and theory but
inspirational photos and stories. I mostly shoot film using colour and

i'm looking for a new Digital camera, i found the Fuji Finepix S5700
at very good price and notest she have 10X of optical zoom, which is
very good, at same prices i only found cameras with 4x, any opinions

I am looking at this as a replacement for my 4 year old (and beloved,
though frustratingly limiting) powershot G5.
The main reason for my wishing to replace a camera I really like is
the lag between focussing and shooting, in some circumstances and the

Hi, I have a need to produce evidential photos, that is, they contain
date,time & poss. location info either superimposed on the image or within
the Exif data.
The  trick is that the data is set automaticaly & is not

One of the two Jessops stores in Milton Keynes is having its closing down
sale, and try as hard as I can, I've yet to find anything worth blowing my
cash on.  (Not quite true - I did buy a USB2 powered hub two weeks ago.  The
70% off made the price acceptable.)

I use Breezebrowser for nearly all my photo browsing, RAW conversion etc.
and then PS6 for Levels, Curves adjustment and USM prior to printing.
In Breezebrowser there's a facility to view jpegs at 100% for focus checks
etc., and, on my current PC, viewing my Canon EOS sourced ...

How do you expose for people with hats in bright sunlight? I have a
number of pictures of people, beautifully exposed - except for their
faces in the shadows of their hats, and in particular their eyes (so in
other words, often the most important parts of the image).

I have just noticed that my (nearly) four year old Iiyma CRT monitor
is just slighty out of focus centre screen but sharp elsewhere.
Methinks replacement looms.
I would like another CRT monitor as I find them better and easier to
