That YongNuo or whatever company makes cheapies that everyone seems to use. $25-80 for a pair depending on what functionality you need.

Even a 12MP DSLR can produce a sharper image if done properly, I'm sure. I have a 5 foot wide print from a 12MP Nikon D2X that is pin sharp.

The Lab is a professional lab, they're not really set up for consumers. Their prices are higher than Costco or London Drugs, but quality is much higher. I personally wouldn't get proof prints done there, but final prints, yes.
Also try ABC Photo.
Can't you just phone them?

Gitzo GT3541L Series 3 Mountaineer 6X Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs and Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal Tripod Head II with Quick Release Base for my wildlife photography? 300mm 2.8 on the way once the vehicle is sold so I'll need a sturdy tripod for the new setup.

Can someone recommend a place in the lower mainland to just walk around taking pictures this time of year?
Both I and gf have Saturday off, and we'd like to just chill with our cameras. Landscape, cityscape, portraits, doesn't really matter.
Considering it may rain, and will most likely be overcast, where is a decent location to have fun as well as get some decent photographs?
Don't really want to drive too far though. Vancouver and it's vicinity please 
TIA!

TIA! | Not sure what "far" means to you, but Steveston is quite nice, as is Finn Slough at the south end of No.4 Rd.

Posted this in the cinematography thread because I'm using this as a video edit drive but I'm guessing photographers could use a super fast external HD too.
If you're like me and you only have 256GB of HD space on your laptop, need some more HD space to edit video and traditional platter HDs are sloooooow... (30MB/s over USB3.0).
Get a SSD, plug it into a external enclosure and boom... 
373MB/s read, 423 write. 20GB copied off in 48 seconds, copied to in 1:52.

Is it actually nicer or more interesting once you're there?

haha, one of the earlier photowalks that a bunch of us did was at Finn Slough. It's pretty interesting - it definitely not that shady. It just depends on what you like taking pictures of. There are old buildings, boats, etc - which makes for really cool pictures. But if you like the cityscapes, etc - stick with false creek / downtown.

Up until a few years ago, I had no idea Finn Slough existed. It's weird...like swampy, Cajun country looking...but super interesting at the same time.
It's in Richmond...the shadiest thing we have around here are C-lai welding mask visors.  | |

What's the cheapest place to get prints done from already developed film? So I have something to check out and then if I really like something, I can get it printed at a professional place.
