Railfest 2004 - pictures from Sunday now on line

So what? If someone wants to put some shots online for other to look at there's plenty of free web space available.

That's not actually the case - it's more of a convenience thing: you can turn off "order prints" even if you're a free user.

If you're a Premium user of course you can sign up to Printshop and set your own prices, and we give you a chunk of that...

Thanks for that url Marcus, it's an interesting read.

I thought total-auto digitals were for don't know don't care holiday snaps and birthday parties. At the moment a goodish digital costs around £500 and I've yet to see a good print from a printer under £200 even at 10x8. Using post-processing seems to be beyond those who are not prepared to use a camera skillfully, which is no surprise of course. While I have a battery of Pentax stuff and there are labs to process my transparencies and print the rare GOOD one, I can't see any point in going down the road of having to do the boring stuff myself. But perhaps having had to spend many sunny days in my employer's dark room colours my view. Don't throw that 35mm away, it separates the men from the boys :)

...........yeah, but he can't be a REAL trainspotter - all the ones I ever knew never washed anything!! ;-))

ps went to Railfest myself today - p****d down most of the day but it was still great fun if only because of all the smoke and the smell of soot etc.

So what about 2 1/4 square?

No Stuart, don't have a scanner, don't use digitals, and don't take pictures of railway objects very often. And looking at my pics would not shew you how to do it, only practice after reading how to overcome problems would do that.

Ken.

Well John, I'm prepared to be sufficiently impolite to suggest you buy yourself a dictionary, or a thesaurus.

Ken.

You're talking about GIANTS, out of my league.

Ken.

Buy? There are hundreds of them on-line!

Wash it out? Never!
