"I refuse to believe there are no professional print shops in the UK."

I have used DSCL for many years and have been most happy with everything
they have printed for me ..........

Correct......

What actually happened was the pilot, alone in the cockpit, taking pictures. (The co-pilot was in the galley)
Once finished snapping, he placed the camera on his seat armrest.
Re-adjusting his seat (electrically) to continue his flying duties, the camera was pushed forward, now wedged between the armrest and the side-stick, pitching the aircraft hard nose down. The co-pilot managed to re enter the cockpit, but was pinned to the ceiling due to -ve G. The plane recovered from the dive due to the sophisticated software onboard the Airbus 330 - not input from the pilots...

Just thought I would chip in my six-pennyworth.....

I reside in the middle-east (as I set up my photography businesses here)
and the idea of going out alone is not one we even think about.......
Daytime (commercial) shoots usually involve 3-4 team members.
Usually 1 'tog and 3 'assistants'.
Night time - we usually don't accept commissions unless
the client is willing to pay a hefty overhead.

The last one we did in June 2016 had 11 of my team milling
around, all with 2-way radios and under the (occasional) watchful eye of a local
police patrol.. Heavy stuff, but the rewards are equally awesome.....

So, enjoy your shooting if you wander alone, but always consider the dangers
which may present themselves - often in the least threatening places......

Nikon Europe have this chart currently on their website.....

In some cases, it seems it is their 'raison d'être'

I have replaced by brace of D4s bodies with a pair of D5's. Still quite early days but, as I have owned D4 and D4s models over a period of time, I can only state (with honesty) that the D5 is more than a worthy successor.

ps I do not bother reading the critiques (especially on here) from amateur armchair experts who blether on without really knowing what they are talking about ........good for their ego's though, no doubt.....

Good to find a 'free thinking' photographer on here for a change !

Expect a visit from the "Adobe Fanbois" cavalry - I can hear them galloping up already :D

Judging by the orderly queue, they must be Brit dogs .........

I charge £250/hour studio £350/hour location. Clients receive low-res/watermarked proofs on disk. Clients choose 6 shots which are PP'd and printed onto archival paper. (8x10 or A4). Extra prints can be supplied @£20 with price breaks for higher quantities. Hope that's of some use........

Now I don't want to rain on your parade - but if you go back around 30+ years - the English Electric Lightning used to demonstrate a vertical climb direct from the rotate. Wheels up at 20 feet, full burner, stick hard back and watch her go.......Not sure if there is anything on YouTube ?

Hmmmm. Looks like you have had the latest 'sense of humour' bypass........
