    Do you know which of your images triggered the invitation? Perhaps something similar in style or vibrancy would be a good starting point. Cheers, Bill http://www.goldenbcphotography.com

    Ski-doos - open water and ice jams

    Hi Mike, It's not as bad as it looks - the water's not deep (sand bar) and just the shape of the river at this spot keeps them close to solid land at all times. They're actually heading toward shore where there's a smooth transition between water and snow. They're both of age, work full time...

    Ski-doos - open water and ice jams

    It's been a mild winter in the Canadian Rockies. Here in Golden, BC, there's still open water on the Columbia River and the Kicking Horse is full of ice after an ice jam gave way up stream. Still - boys will be boys, and all that! D2h - 70-200VR -- Bill...

    Epson 2200 vrs HP Designjet 30

    Hi Bill, I suspect that the silence is not ominous at all. I've been using Epson printers and pigmented inks since the introduction of the 1200. I've had a 2200 for a couple of years now and can highly recommend it. It's a solid and reliable printer. I was still on a waiting list for the 4000...

    HP 130 and roller marks

    Is this primarily a problem with paper sitting in the roller? My main concern (a little late as I have ordered the printer) is whether the roller marks are showing up on swellable paper from the tray feeder as well. Has anyone noticed roller marks with 18x24 sheet paper? Thanks to all for your...

    HP 130 and roller marks

    I'm about to purchase this printer, so yesterday, I drove 300km to the nearest camera store to have a look. The output from the sample print was everything I had hoped for EXCEPT . . there were roller indentations the length of the print, and these were deep enough to, IMO, make the print...

    Big Horn or no

    I also think it's a female Bighorn - the white patch blends in but it looks like it's there - and the horns look a little too straight back but that might be the camera angle. Here's a look at a female (#1), a young male (#2), and a group of mature males (#3). As for the family...

    S2 and D2H side by side

    Hi Mark, I have both and think they compliment each other very nicely. I use the S2 in the studio and for most portraits outdoors. I use the D2h for all wildlife. There isn't much you can't do with either camera. I use the S2 in jpg fine - the D2h in RAW. In my opinion, the S2 out-performs the...

    The Photography ban widens - Cairo

    It may have more to do with preserving historic artifacts than anything else. Light, as we all know, can cause seriously damage over time. It's probably a lot easier to ban photography in general than it is to try to explain to all visitors (and staff) the accumulative damage caused by high...

    Most picturesque place in the world

    I agree - it is personal. I'm very fortunate to live just 15 minutes from the Yoho Park gate so I would have to give the nod to the Canadian Rockies in general. Some of my favourite places are the ridges above Helen Lake overlooking the Dolomite Pass, Wilcox Pass with it's heard of Big Horn...

    mosquito @ 25 ft. - D2h

    Despite all the good things said about the D2h, I WAS a little nervous purchasing what is, after all, only a 4mp camera. This is an "out-of-the-box" s-rgb jpg image (I haven't had time to read the manual yet). I applied a small amount of sharpening (100% .3/0) All I wanted to do was to...

    Epson 2200 advice

    My 17 month old 2200 died on Saturday - it's not worth fixing. So I bought another new one today. That says a lot about what I think of this printer. You'll be well served by it. I use it for both landscapes and portraits, and in my opinion, the colours are great. -- Bill...

    2200 - replaced cartridge but still reports empty - HELP!

    The long and the short of it - the printer is toast. I got nowhere talking to Epson support except to get the name of the closest authorized repair shop - a shop that has been out of business for over a year. Fifteen minutes long distance for that! I eventually got the name of a Calgary outfit ...

    2200 - replaced cartridge but still reports empty - HELP!

    I replaced my lite cyan cartridge in the usual way - but the printer is reporting that the new cartridge is still empty. Just in case it was a problem with the cartridge - I put in second new cartridge. I've also turned the printer off and on, and rebooted the computer - neither helps. Any...
