Nick — Happened across one of your photographs cruising Google Earth to see whether it was worth going back into Padstow from my B&B and around the headland, or just heading to Trevone or Harlyn to continue my Coast Path walk. Your photograph was so superior to the other stuff on Google Earth that I looked at your other Google Earth photos, and figured you had to have a website somewhere. Very good images, especially the B&W. Wish I had the time to stay around for good skies and less wind (so I could use my tripod). At the risk of ruining the warm feelings my compliments might create, can I say that your post on your Digital Photobooks should say they “complement,” not “compliment” your albums. What can I say? My mother was an English teacher. On the subject of digital photobooks, have you found any DIY publisher that (1) is reasonably sensitive to color management, (2) uses a good semimatte or luster paper, and (3) does a quality binding. I’ve done books with Blurb (best of my trials, but paper is a bit toward matte), Asukabook (mildly expensive, and I thought the B&W came out flat even using their paper profile), and Snapfish (cheap and quick, but not-great paper and no real color management).
