I get all my candids printed at Harvey Norman usually so I recommend them - I usually get them done for about 20c each

ps. I am a wedding photographer also, but the term 'good' is up in the air haha

hi SmellyTofu,

Nice dragon boating photos.

I actually know quite a few of the people that you took pictures of + I know organisers. I have been rowing for 14 years, but I'm currently retired. Makes me want to go back.

Cheers. There's more on my website. The atmosphere was great but just difficult to capture.

Yesterday I printed out 190 6x4 photos at Harvey Norman for 15c each. They came out really nice. Half were from my P&S sony and they needed cropping individually on the kiosk so that they are in the correct aspect ratio. It was done at the Martin place store


what aspect ratio was it Chris?

Pretty typical of Lake George eh Matt, can't remember when I ever seen a decent amount of water in it.

Nice shot , Dual shots with ND Grad might have helped here , lighten the foreground trees and the ND Grad darken the sky a tad maybe even with some polarization.

The Sony camera takes photos in the 3:4 aspect ratio. They can print this on 'dcam' paper for 15c but it's smaller than 6"x4" paper. The DSLR takes photos in the 2:3 aspect ratio so it fits the 4"x6" paper perfectly. See http://www.smugmug.com/prints/4xd-prints

I preferred all the prints to be the same size so I used the kiosk to manually crop each Sony photo myself. It could have also been done in photoshop by using the crop tool with the aspect ratio option. It's much faster doing it directly on the Fuji kiosk.

I hadn't done any printing in over two years. I was suprised how cheap, easy and painless it was.

oh good...that means i don't have to do any changing to the ratio as i am printing DSLR photos. do you know what they do to funny size photos? say if i have some square format or panorama photos? do they crop it or print everything and leave white borders around the photo?

thanks for the info, mate

I think the last time I saw heaps of water was about 12-15 years ago.

I used a Circular Polariser but the sun was over my left shoulder. I used Gimp to post process just for kicks.

Here is another

Might need some tips on post processing

On a completely unrelated topic (actually from a few pages back), is the Mardi-gras thing still happening? I'd be interested in going.
