What sort of camera? What was the subject? IF a point and shoot camera some can change the ISO setting on the camera, so it may have upped it to a higher number, so increasing the "grain" in the image. Do you know what ISO the image was taken at?

Taking-up the reins of the digital/online printing thread..


I'm looking for a place to store, manage, print and share our faaamily photos.

I tried Photobox and liked it (and the prints too) but I forgot that half the point of doing was so that the faaamily could order prints too. And much of the faaamily lived overseas.


Any ideas?

*Bob* Have a look at Flickr. It's a global service. You can add friends and family as contacts so that they can download pictures directly from your account or order prints via Flickr. It's free for a limited 100mb per month but for a smallish fee you get the premium service with full functionality.

I might let your wife look at them, Keef. She looks like the trustworthy sort.


I did initially think of Flickr, but after an (amittedly cursory) inspection I was put-off by the low freebie photo limit, talk of payments US dollars and general yahoo-ness of it all. As much as anything on the grounds that it if put me off even slightly, Auntie Thingy would lose interest immediately.


I liked Photobox because it's just a case up upload, print, next day BOSH. And their customer services seems small enough to be immediate and personal when I had some queries.


They do deliver overseas for a couple of quid extra.. but with one of our Earth Pounds buying a slap-up feed for 8 in, say, Australia, they might be put-off by the cost.

    • Aria did a good job fixing a leak in our bathroom. He was very thorough and made two extra visits to make sure the job was done well. Highly recommended.
    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
