Might want to add this program called Recuva.

Basically its a free recovery program by Piriform who do CCleaner and it can recover deleted photos providing they have not been overwritten.

Unfortunately some dumbass erased the card on my camera (don't ask, supposed mate and his missus) and one particular image I wanted had been overwritten before I knew that they were still recoverable.

Anyhow the program works very well and can also be used to recover other deleted items like documents and music from your hard drive.

Can I recommend "Kerso" (a talkphotography.co.uk member) who has an Ebay shop: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FLASH-CAMERA
(His shop is empty at the moment as he's away, with his sister taking any orders that come in.)

Pay direct into his bank account and bypass Paypal fees, and generally get an absolute bargain compared to other online /highstreet shops.
PM him via the TP forums asking for a price on whatever you're considering and he'll get back to you.

For example... Warehouse Express do the Canon 24-105 F4 L Lens at almost £950, he can do it for £769
Cheaper lenses will have less of a saving, but there'll be one nonetheless.

Added a small section for Amazing & Inspirational photos. Clearly these are all taken from my own personal portfolio

Also just a note of caution about Pixmania, I ordered a printer from them which was listed as in stock. 3 weeks later I still hadn't received anything, it was still in stock and payment had been taken at the time of ordering. So I call them up to be told that it isn't in stock at all and they are waiting for some from the manufacturer. I knew full well that was never as the particular model was 2 revisions out of date, but still they leave it up on their site as in stock. That's just a really poor way of doing business IMO, they took my money for something they could never supply and still they leave it on their site as in stock. Bunch of arse. They also tend to be damned expensive these days.

Pixmania are total and utter cunts, i wouldn't touch them given the choice. Between claiming i was defrauding myself, then blacklisting my email because of that, then making me phone France to sort it, then forcing me to verify every detail of the damn order when i finally made one they're a total shower.

My m8 just found out that Staples do photo printing - got some awesome A3 canvas prints for a quid! Some glossy/matte ones too, really awesome.

Not as cheap as dscolourlabs, but you don't have to deal with their crappy service and messing orders up, and seemed far cheaper than most other places. Convenient if you've one round the corner!

might be worth removing spicers from wedding album printers, we had 20,000 mounts go missing in transit recently and although they are still trading its a bit of a risk to take using a company in administration for wedding orders.
