Photo Books
The oft-stated problem with digital photography is that pictures get stored on the hard drive or similar and are never seen again.
Photo books offer an interesting, convenient and surprisingly affordable way to store and display your pictures. Having looked at umpteen such companies at the recent trade show, I am personally most happy to recommend David and the team at Yophoto.

Studio Lights and Accessories
Very highly recommended by Phil & Maxine - our contact Danny at Elemental Lighting will discuss your lighting requirements and the effect that you are trying to achiveve offering a tailored package to suit your needs.
We recently spoke ot him regards a group portrait and he explained how to achieve certain results without having to buy more kit from him. The fact that we opted to buy more is incidental! www.studio-flash.com

'clever' storage
a fairly generic recommendation but nevertheless worth knowing... we have recently purchased a rather clever device called a Drobo manufactured in the US by DataRobotics. To cut a long story short it allows you to store your images onto an ever-expandable hard-drive simultaneously performing a back-up in a RAID style but without a need to understand how it works and without the same potential wasted space. A true plug and play system. www.drobo.com
Picture framing etc
Local, friendly and efficient, what more could you want? Also a nice range of quality gift items.
Highly recommended by Phil & Maxine, this is why we get our wildlife and wedding images mounted and framed.

Training - Printing / Photoshop
I am 'recommending' the The Imaging Warehouse training on the strength of two things - the recent printing workshop i attended and their excellent customer support both prior to and following the event.
There are 3 photoshop training sessions which make them ideal as you can read the advisory blurb and choose th emost appropriate for your current level of understanding.
