Does anyone know of any sites I can view free wordpress themes designed for photographers, im after something with a full screen theme?

I have recently been using Wix, which was ok - but ive always wanted to have a go at a Wordpress site. But I would like to use a free theme to start off with.

Yes i have googled this and there are thousands, but I just wanted to know if anyone has any links to Photography specific themes, or suggestions?

Thanks

How much did you pay for these from Harrisons Johno?

i've just signed up to VM. booked at instalation for the friday as suggested by the sales woman on the phone, took the day off work, waited in all day, decided to call them at 4pm to make sure they were coming, at that point i found out that the appointment was actually booked for the following tuesday?? and the reason being is because i had changed the date?? which of course i didnt, i also had a letter stating they would be coming on that day. I asked if i could make a complaint......they transferred me through to the credit card sales line.........enough said.

since it has been installed we havent had any problems yet. The service is great, the customer service is the worst i have ever experienced.

first thing i came across from google - looks like what your after but unfortunately i can't tell you what its like.

I have only used it for video projects. We did all ours in After Effects and Premiere, i know Kinematic on Brown street have a setup, but as for photography i don't know - can you not just use photoshop?

As the title says, I have an image I want printing which is 30x30. Any sugestions on where to get it done other than Pinders.

Thanks

Has anyone used Costco for photo printing? I read an article last week about an American wedding photographer who uses Costco for all their prints as the machine is top of the range. I have seen our Sheffield branch does photos at a very low cost but wondered what the quality is like?

Not sure if this has been mentioned on here before but there is a great website called CreativeLive.com they stream live workshops from some of the worlds leading photographers/editors. This week is Don Giannati who is a teacher/photographer but a great master of light. Very informative hands on workshops and they are FREE to watch live!

well worth a watch!

Graphistudio are far too expensive! Fantasic quality but very pricey!

has anyone had any experience with LR4's new book module? Is it affiliated with specific printing companies or is it just a template based like Indesign?

I wonder if the Mkii will drop much in price?

Ive also been considering the Focus on Imaging event either on Sunday or Monday - is it any good?

Does anybody know where i can get a 16/17 or 18 litre stainless steel mixing bowl? I have search the internet/amazon/ebay but i dont seen to be able to get one that big, roughly with a 16" or 18" diameter.

Anyone in the catering business might be able to help?

Thanks

Strangely enough i bought some from ASDA yesterday, about 12 in a pack for £1! and they are big chunky chalks.

Or get the same funnctionality from ebay for £2.99 !

please send me a link to these.

the Plus 3's are out soon and cheaper than the plus 2....apparently.

I have just come back from Amsterdam and we went to this place

http://www.tunfun.nl/index.php/

We often take our 18month old daughter to indoor play areas. This was by far the best one we have ever visited - it was big, had something for everyone and wasnt charged by the hour.

Amsterdam has a project converting old unused areas into creative spaces, a fantasic idea! if only we could have something more likle this.

Someone does it at swimbabes - think they run a few classes in sheffield, google them.

Funnily enough I was also looking for a plane graveyard a few weeks ago as a location for a photoshoot. Unfortunately there are none near by, and none in the UK that are actually as good as i would like. I wanted one like this is Arizona!

but thats quite far away

I was in Harrisons Camera shop yesterday and they are just about to introduce beginner courses, i think they are looking to start in next month or so with a maximum of 8 at one time.

I'm not sure on prices, but might be worth giving them a ring. 0114 2760002.

 

On a seperate subject, i didnt realise how big an impact the Tsunami in Thailand has had on production, Harrisons had hardly any camera models in to showcase.

Thailand or Japan? either way it has had a major impact - i see more shops selling reconditioned camera bodies than new! It has had a real impact on production for Canon and Nikon.

Don't sound like student accommodation:

 

Onslow Road

 

Another cool development of just 6 properties close to Endcliffe Park is now on site... 3 terraced houses and 3 New York style Warehouse units refurbished into an urban style for those wanting something a little bit different...

 

 

From the Coda web site.

The New York style properties look pretty good - i wonder how much they will go on the market for?

Archers Estate Agents.

I believe they are a family run business. I use them, service is always fantastic! Out of all the letting agents I have ever used they are by far the best.

I took the plunge and bought one yesterday. Looking at the prices for a second hand one on ebay and buying a brand new one there was only a £20 difference?? So you are right they really do hold value really well. Ive heard about some of the issues with these lenses so I will test for these problems as soon as it arrives.

But I would like to see that hi-res image anyway! Thanks

thought I would add to the group.

Thanks for that, I have read similar reviews. My other option is the canon 17-40 f4 L. A tad more expensive but any ideas whether this would be as useable as the 10-20 for interior/architectural photography?

Thanks

Great! thanks for that, i literally had a look earlier today and didnt see anything! I guess i need to keep checking.

thinking of buying it, quality of photos look good but just wondered if anyone had used it and what they thought of it.

mainly for interior/architecture shots and landscape use.
