and send me an email about it.

Yea i did think that. im bending the corners down a little now, and telling the printer irs thick

paper so it raises the print head a bit. ive also stopped printing borderless for the time untill i

get these done. always goes wrong at the worst possible time doesnt it!

hi all, im trying to print some work for a show on tuesday, and suddenly my printer's messed up.

printing on a3 fotospeed paper, it does most of the print fine, then when it gets near the end it seems to

let go of the paper, and the print head throws the paper around in the printer. needless to say the prints

that come out are not useable.

Any ideas?

In the uk the books you use are relative to what area you are interested in at the time. The

only real reference material i used is listed above, then you would branch off into the area

you were studying. Studio for example.

Ways of seeing was a book we looked alot at, also alot of the books by liz wells. There more

art theory/non technical.

As for actuall theory book if you tell me what area your interested in i can send you some

examples of what we used as reference material for it.

Even in photoshop a good few of the filters or settings only work in 8bit any way. So it

depends on what your wanting to do, you mite have to convert to 8bit any way.

i use fotospeed inks in a 2400. I cant comment on the longevity as ive only had it for about a

year, but the colour and print quality is very very good. especially when profiled. i use the ink

in a cis system which works well. especially for the price.

yes it was shot on a light box. the light from the box should be enough but if you find the

product is a little dark bounce some licht back onto it.

what area was it you wanted? colour workflow, blak and white darkroom?

Do a course to learn the basics, read as much as you can. Look at other peoples work, and

have an opinion on it and decide why you have that opinion eg. lighting, colour.......

Decide what area you want to go into, find photographers that interest you and bug them

untill they give you work experience. The most i have learnt has been trial and error, and

from asking people, work experience. Not from my degree. Although the paper does look

good!

"It might even work as a campaign photo for antidyslexicphobia." Best idea ive heard in ages!

Maybe i should be eating toffee with the dictionary upside down?

Thanks for every ones help so far. Liking alot of the ideas. I forgot to mention im a twin

which could be a part of it i guess.

a little of everything! scord the bottle with an electric thingy, filled it with hot water, put the

lid on and tapped it.

Well thanks for that. Im actually dyslexic and cant spell for toffee. And come to think of it

neither can most the professional photographers i have worked for. As for "future employers

of you are googling for anything you might have said in a public forum" i think they are not

stupid enough to think that just because a photographer has 'writers block' on a college

assignment they are not worth employing.

i know this is not lighting but i hope there are a few still life photographers that can help.

i need to break a glass bottle into large bits, and every time i ty it just shatters into tiny tiny bits. Any

ideas?

im trying to keep away from the old "heres a photo of me......" approach, but i mite have to

resort to that if i dont get hit by a massive lump of inspiration soon!

Yes its for an assignment. It has to be on my identity, thants the only criteria. at the moment

im thinking abot taking any old photos and saying photography is a large part of my identity!

thats how bad its got.

Hi all.

i havt to produce 6 images on the theme of identity, but i seem to have a sudden mental block.

My usually overactive imagination has stopped working and my brain has turned to mush!

any links to some inspirational work linked to this theme or comments greatfully received.

Buy some print head flush (i use window cleaner). Take out the cartridges and put a few

drops where each cartridge is inserted. Then put the carts back in, leave for an hour, do the

same again, head clean and as good as new!

I use a spyder on a mac screen, and a nec spectraview with no problems. The software isnt

great, but does the job. And the 24" imac screen does not calibrate very well any way, so

$700+ is overkill! The main problem is the brightness, wont go down much further than the

180 mark on the one i tried any way.

Ok this is how you do it.

Bring up the menu on the camera, go down to settings (the spanner) and select USB it should

then give you Mass storage, or ptp mode. Select ptp.

That should work. Let me know how it goes.

You need to change the USB connection mode of the camera, its connecting as a mass

storage device at the moment. I cant remember how to do it on that camera, but read the

manual and it should be in there. One you change that you should be away!
