thanks for the tip dave
... hadnt thought about that.... will certainly keep it in mind. however i will be involved in a aids awarness day at the end of the year. a mate of mine works for a museum and has asked me to do the photography for their display they will have on the aids awareness day thing, and i know that some of the prints have to be at least A1 size or A0....cant remember which is bigger off hand.....would the nikon d60 be up to the task??
