LINKS

  • ZPS President Bruce A Carter's website: http://www.brucesphotography.co.uk
  • We are pleased to support member Geoff Roughton, who gained his Associateship of the Society in 2008, with his new venture "A Sporting Chance" which is set to undoubtedly become a leading professional website in the Field of Sports Photography of the highest quality
  • To keep right up to date with developments in digital cameras, you simply MUST visit the excellent online Digital Photography Review website. http://www.dpreview.com
  • F32 - Excellent web source (Predominantly related to Large Format but also provides many links to conventional and digital websites). Well worth visiting as a really good way to find out about many aspects of both, including useful sources of supplies, information, articles, etc. http://www.f32.net/links.html
  • I highly recommend RAM Def XTreme (clicking on this link will enable you to download the small exe file to look after your computer's memory. Save it to your hard drive. In my opinion, ESSENTIAL as can totally prevent any hang-ups or freezes due memory problems. This is a small download, installs easily and places three icons on Desktop. I recommend deleting two - one refers to TRAY and other to SILENT. When you run first time, via remaining icon, gives opportunity to configure - very good help files, easy to set-up. Works automatically in background. Make sure you set CUSTOM level to 10 MB as then only frees up and defrags memory when down to that level. Shows in tray as chart or numerical memory level values.
  • Downloading files can be fraught with problems like speed, reliability & resumption if disconnected. We use the excellent "FlashGet" Download Manager and Accelerator - FREE to use! http://www.amazesoft.com
  • We have used Helen Leason's excellent booking agency for a number of years for our Photo Society's Annual Meets. Click on the spinning "PP" logo to visit her website
  • If you are looking for BOOKS, try this website: http://www.c-books.co.uk/ Contact person is Colin Stephens. A good section on Photography and a claimed over 100,000 books on all sorts of topics, including rare editions.
  • One of the most useful true freebies available for anyone to use - makes a long website URL (address) small - ideal for ensuring such addresses do not get word-wrapped, for adverts and suchlike. Link made IS tiny and never expires. Just copy and paste in your long URL and click to make it TINY - you can then copy and paste at will! Brilliant!
