This year's Bragging Rights promo went way beyond our expectations! We were overwhelmed by the amazing response from hundreds of photographers, and are truly grateful to everyone who participated. Thank you very much from everyone at Queensberry. The brief was for "images with something special to say about love and laughter, a vibrant culture, a dramatic environment or a compelling story". We also needed to represent the various regions and markets we serve as widely as possible, and we weren't looking just for weddings! Over the next few weeks, in no particular order, we'd like to introduce To View More >>

If you're not sure you can check by going to About This Mac under the Apple menu. We have announced that this is coming To View More >>

This gentleman proceeded to tell me he was from Cupertino and that his boss was Steve Jobs. I tried to act as if I took calls like this everyday. He said they wanted to develop a premium book, and would To View More >>

Ian likes to talk about the good old days, when colour correction and colour management were a matter of picking up the phone and complaining to the lab. OK … I remember them too. Well, you can still outsource colour correction, but colour management is a shared responsibility now. In my earlier post I talk about screen calibration and soft-proofing, which most of us at least know about - but few people understand that taking all the care in the world over those won't be enough if your working environment is wrong. Try this experiment. First thing in the morning, sit down at your desk (where To View More >>
