If I knew how! 'Fraid I'm not very high tech. I've emailed and asked for an extension, so I can go and borrow a friend's high resolution digital camera this eve. I hope they don't deny me the chance.

A tip I read somewhere about taking pics don't zoom in if your using a phone. The zoom in feature is the same as cropping. It only makes a difference if the camera has optical zoom not digital which most phones have.

I take my pics upload to laptop and edit with paint to select the area I need.

Must stop Doing AA assignments no wonder they struggle to shift them, too many silly questions. and really the fee in comparison to the items they sell is a joke..

I've met a few of their co-ordinators and had some good long yacks with one of them. They very much value quality, so I doubt they'd cut the fees.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but let's hope they don't. Mind you, not overly fussed. There jobs are just fillers for me. If I am going to be somewhere, I will pick it up but don't go out of my way.

ESA are still doing that shop I have one booked in next week with them. I missed out on most of the local ones :-(.

Yep there are still some on Esa as doing some next week. There's one on MF in my area so wonder if this is the start of the decamp to MF. Hope not as was reasonable fee and reimbursement under Esa.

Always good for premiums at the end of the month.

No juicy GAP premiums for me this time, there was quite a few the other week but i couldn't book any in as I was busy.

Does anyone know which other company is most similar to GR? (if any). I love working for them but they are really quiet in my area and there's been no jobs posted for a while.

Yeah, don't zoom in on a phone, unless you happen to have a Nokia Lumia 1020 that is ;-)
I've sometimes had to take, and use, some fairly crappy pics but have always explained the reason (it is usally that I've had to take it from a bit far away, taken in blind from the hip or at a sharp angle, usually to avoid being seen taking the photo) and have always gotten away with it.
