Default digital photo prints

just used a website from HP, www.snapfish.co.uk

20 free prints when you sign up

ordered mine on monday and they came by post yesterday and were very good quality. they offer a special size to fit digicam format as well, as pictures would get cropped to fit std 6 x 4" normally.

highly recomended

Sound good dude,

I work in the IT Department for a Printing Supplys Company and got the bloke in your show room to do me some BIG print outs for my wall @ home.

Got a Fuji S 5600 digi cam.

Heres the prints.




All four are on my bedroom walls now in edgeless glass fronts from ikea

Very smart.

Got a few photo sessions lined up for my car once i've done the flatting and polising.

Spend a day finding great urban and rural backdrops for it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find alot around your area.

Shame the flats at hulme got leveled, they would have made an awesome backdrop

There'll be countless decent spots no doubt, my best picture of my mini was taken at 2am at Manchester Airport.. might have to try there again, although that was less to do with the backdrop and more to do with the lighting.

My intentions are to make a website to host said pictures once taken

I work for HP and have used snapfish before (I got 30 free prints as an HP employee)

Good value prints and excellent quality.

Just be wary of uploading your photos and deleting the originals cause they charge you if you want to download the original hi res photo again!

Think twice about getting the canvas prints though. I'm not sure about the comparison of quality but you can get photos put on to canvas much cheaper by ebay sellers.

Not even 10 mins,
Through Alderly Edge towards Macc
Through Alderly Edge towards Congleton
Near Jodrell Bank
Through Airport Tunnels, turn left towards Ashley
On the tops near Macc
The hills past Oldistan

You could easily spend a weekend taking pics with scenic backgrounds
