15-20 minutes. Quicker than going to the shop anyway. :)

It just helps me justify the expense of the hobby tbh. It's a nice feeling when the client is really happy with your work, and that makes it all worthwhile for me. Instead of turning down work, I'd rather that people saw that driving 30 minutes, setting up a full studio, taking photos for 30...

Are you using VGA or DVI cable? My 24" Samsung won't accept a VGA signal from my Dell laptop without having a messed up resolution and the screen being off to the side, but used with the docking station and a DVI cable it is fine. I spent half an hour trying to sort it and then got bored but...

It was indeed meant as a compliment. :) I also did some cheap work on that basis in order to expand my portfolio and get word around and it has worked pretty well. Just cover yourself and ask anybody who gets a special price not to inform others about how much they pay. I've turned down a...

I'd rather be at home with the wife and kids (well, kids anyway) than be somebodies photo b**ch for £10 an hour. Charged time should also include PP hours. You can sell on the price model of a 1.5 hour shoot for £40 but then you need to be making money on the prints/ CD's afterwards and charge...

Lol, it's nothing personal. I drive one myself, but they are definitely lacking in the exhaust/ engine note department. :D

That's mahoosive!

I've never heard a meggy exhaust note that I liked. Online videos probably don't do them justice, but it has to be the dullest engine around. Standard is hardly noticeable, just a turbo whistle from time to time, and if you fettle them, then they sound like tractors.

I'm in the middle of selling mine for a fair bit more than that! Great price for a new one. They do have temperamental USM motors though....

I've still never played it. Maybe one day if I am bored.

A screen being replaced costs less than £100 IIRC. My sister recently had to get her phone replaced after dropping it down the loo and also found out about the £150 excess. It's an utter rip off TBH.

FLOL! You think?

Just upgraded. :cool:

I just did it on mine the other week. I installed a new PC, set up a new media library, copied all of the IPA's over from the old disc to the new one and authorised my account on the PC. When you click on sync you get an option to merge libraries or set it up as a new device. Just click on...

I don't do work for less than 50 an hour and that's mates rates. Pros never used to give the full size images/ negatives away as they charged for the prints and made most of their money that way. Times are changing a bit and everybody gets more use from digital than print so the price model...

I am blind or has the "entry" thread gone?

I didn't rise to it as I am just too busy with work at the minute. I have a trip to Canon HQ tomorrow to play with some toys so that should make up for it. :)

It was quite an ambiguous topic. Some good quality photos put forward though.
