<blockquote> <p>I think it's inexcusable.</p> </blockquote> <p>It's a great shame, and is saddening, but thankfully not life and death.</p> <p>From what you described, your son & his partner hired someone who wasn't very well regarded. They weren't the best at what they do. People don't rush to get them to photograph their wedding because they do something incredible, but because they do it for very little. So it somehow felt easier for them to spend very little, and leave it aside. They maybe just didn't care so much about the photos at all, seemingly not as much as you and I do anyway.</p> <p>Inexcusable? If you weigh up all the facts (which only you and your family will have), maybe you'll say it's "expected", given everything. Hypothetically, for a photographer to not photograph the family at a wedding, that doesn't rate highly in my books, nope.</p> <p>Sounds like all you need to do is move on. Maybe throw a family celebration in a year or two, and hire someone of a higher caliber.</p>

<p>Good afternoon. I'm sort of struggling for ideas so wanted to see if any of you had some suggestions based on your own experiences.<br> So it'll probably go without saying, I do not like the sun ;). That is not my idea of a nice break away somewhere, but to each their own. We are interested in culture, history, relaxing, exploring. We liked the idea of Canada or Japan, but to do properly would require too much funding right now, so it'll likely be somewhere a little closer (to the UK). Right now, Krakow (Poland) and and St Petersburg (Russia) seem to be an interesting fit for a 5-7 day visit. What do you think? St Petersburg seems to offer a little more based on some initial research, with of course Moscow being relatively easy to travel to as well - a direct flight is also possible!<br> Jackets, coats, scarfs, they are all great.<br> Only reluctance with St Petersburg is the language, which apparently few speak English. But we would have a basic translator via our phone, and would acquire a book with some phrases too.<br> Food doesn't seem great at either for vegetarians, but I'm sure that could be worked out. I love great food but it's not everything if you get other interests.<br> Anywhere else come to mind for a visit around October sort of time (no earlier, possibly early Nov)? Somewhere of interest?<br> Thanks :)</p>

<p>Thank you all for your help!</p> <p>Ray was correct it seems. Doesn't appear to be any issue with the back. To clarify, I took the back off with the slide installed, and then removed the slide (not entirely sure why). You can't attach the back without the slide installed.</p> <p>Anyway, the pin in the lower corner is all that needs to be pressed. Anyway, I wasn't 100% sure before the session so left it at home and just reloaded on the go, wasn't too bad. That back has always been slightly louder when loading the film in, so I'm not entirely confident with it, but it does actually work fine.</p> <p>Thankfully no repair needed here, just my own stupidity. Thanks!</p>
