  1. Can anyone recommend a wedding photographer for Cambridge England please? Thanks in advance. Andrew
  2. So I a looking for a mid-range phone for photography. Reviews suggest Pixel 6 and OnePlus Nord 2T 5G are contenders. Pixe 6 is supposed to be best for photography but has faults such as flakey fingerprint ID. Is it better enough than the one plus to put up with its other failings, Any suggestions or ideas please?
  3. Dear all, I have Lightroom V5 and want to upgrade, at least to V6 in standalone terms, or whatever the most recent version is. Is it possible to still upgrade to V6 etc please and if so how? I appreciate there has been a fair amount of discussion about this in the past but it is not clear what the current situation is. I am trying to avoid the creative cloud thing so may as well try and get as up to date as possible for the time being. Longterm I may have to go to something else or sell my soul to Adobe. I have used Photoshop Elements in the past but can probably live without it if need be. Thanks, Andrew
  4. I am in the UK and I sometimes create albums for social events for friends and family etc. I generally get the photos printed and stick them in a reasonable conventional album which costs about £70. I am thinking about more sophisticated composite pictures. The problem is that the photobooks seem rather basic, not as good as what I do at the moment, but the professional albums seem expensive. I am also a bit worried about something going wrong with producing them which would be an expensive mistake. There is not much in the middle say around £100 to £150 budget and reasonable quality. I maybe could create the composites in something like photojunction, print them and then get them bound somehow. Does anyone have any ideas please? Remember I am in the UK so USA based options are probably not that useful to me. Thanks, Andrew
  5. <p>Dear all, <br> Apologies for taking 9 months to sort this out. I just spent a week trying to get sense out of Dell for the spec of the XPS 8700 PC I wanted without any success at all. I considered getting a basic level spec and adding components myself, but re-installing Windows on SSD without the disks just seemed too much hassle.<br> Therefore I got the following spec from Build Your Box the custom builders for £1,038. Too early to tell if it works, let alone lasts 7 years like my last PC, but they were infinitely easier people to deal with and had good reviews online. Thanks for all the assistance.</p> Processor: 4th generation Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.5 GHz x 4 cores Cooler: Be quiet! BK009 Pure Rock CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus Z97-K Motherboard RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Graphics card: Intel integrated HD 4000 graphics Hard drive: 240GB Kingston SSD now v300 sata III solid state drive Optical drive: Samsung 24x Dual Layer DVD Rewriter PSU: 430W Corsair CX430 80+ Bronze PSU Case: Antec VSK-4000E ATX Case Fans: 2 x 120mm Be Quiet!

  6. <p>My Dell PC is giving up the ghost after 8 years so, for a replacement, I am looking at a Dell XPS 8700 for photo editing using Lightroom. I would add an extra 1 TB disc for saving duplicate photos and with a would 60D have fairly large files. The HP <br> Does this sound like a sensible choice or does anyone have any better ideas at all please? I have seen it suggested that something with a SSD would be better, but does this make any difference for photo editing?<br> Thanks in advance.</p>
