Another Arsenal fan here……
Fair play to Hull I’m sure it is a result that will please a certain Mr Plattinni no end……………
Seriously though Hull will cause problems for alot of other teams I reckon, as for Arsenal…. Arséne knows best!!!!!!!

yes it was the series Genius of photography, a BBC production and it is a great series, it seems hard to get on dvd though (or else I’m looking in the wrong places)

Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre invented the ‘Daguerreotype’ in 1839. It was a polished silver coated copper plate exposed in darkness to iodine to create a coating of light sensitive silver iodide. the plate was exposed to light in the camera giving a latent image on the plate, this image was then developed by mecury vapour and then fixed with with a warm solution of ordinary salt. These images were high in detail and were reffered to as ‘mirror of nature’ by Daguerre himself.

Search Daguerre on the net there is loads about him, also you might be interested in Henry Fox Talbot who developed another technique at the same time and a rivalry developed to see which had the better product.

I purchased a brand new 5D body in one of the ‘big two’ in Cork city last week for 1800E so I can’t understand how you could be quoted 4300E for a second hand 5D????????? The sales guy must have been on something really strange………….
I returned to my shop to price a camera bag out of curiosity and the guy who sold me my 5D was telling me that he heard the other ‘big’ shop was selling second hand 5D’s for the same money I bought mine.
Thank God for ebay is all I can say

I’ve also done alot of press work in cork and taken lots of pics in the parks around city and I found it’s always best to approach parents first and tell them that its all official and above board. 99% will be delighted to oblige and will probably start asking for copies. If you take shots that catch your eye and don’t give you time to seek permission first, approach adults afterwards, they always appreciate the fact you told them.
more importantly enjoy it, and have fun.

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me. I probably should have said I’m a mature student so i’m not really living the student life but enjoying it all the same.

cheers
