Lastly our over all winner of 2012 Ben Clegg has spent his 2 weeks with our Phase One IQ180 kit. Here are some comments that Ben made about his experiences with the Phase One IQ180 kit.
“When it came to opening up the images in Capture One I was blown away by the definition in the images! I had never seen anything like it, is very hard to explain the quality as it is almost 3D, I think my wife said it the best “this camera see’s better than the human eye”.
I have now printed a few images on my Epson Pro 7900 and I have to say they are the best quality prints that I have done to date.”

The second Golden Shopping Trolley Awards were held at The Epson Print Gallery last night & it was a great evening of urban landscape images.
At this point we’d like to thank a few people. Firstly Christian Fletcher and Tony Hewitt for all their enthusiasm for the Shopping Trolley concept and being great shopping trolley handlers (Judges). I know you’d all agree that we simply couldn’t have gotten 2 better judges for an Urban Landscape competition. Love your work, guys.
Thanks to Jo for doing all the running around for the catering, plus all those who helped keep everyone watered and feed during the course of the gala evening.
If you weren’t able to attend last night, don’t panic as the 30 finalists will be on display in The Epson Print Gallery until the 26th January at Team Digital. For those of you who did get along we hope you had a great night. Please let Ben know if you have any feedback regarding the competition.
Custom Photo Imaging in Rockingham are supplying a 40 x 60″ stretched Canson HD canvas to the winner of the People’s Choice award. The only way to register your vote is at The Epson Print Gallery in person.

Under the new policy, any version earlier than CS5 will not be eligible for upgrade pricing. However, there is a special offer to owners of CS3 and CS4 individual products and suite editions that will give them a temporary upgrade path to CS6 until December 31, 2012. After that date, only customers on CS5 or CS5.5 will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.
In a nut shell, you won’t be able to get an upgrade if you have software older than one version back. So if you don’t upgrade you will be up for the full cost of the Adobe software. There is some great news though – the new upgrades are multi-platform. So if you have Windows version and you want to upgrade to a shiny new Apple, you will have no problems loading your new software on your Apple even if you have upgraded from a Windows version.
But wait there’s more! Team Digital will also give you a $100.00 Adobe training voucher, which means that during 2013 you can attend one of the many Adobe training programs that Team Digital offer and get $ 100.00 off the cost ( conditions apply ).
Contact Team Digital to organise your Adobe upgrade and save.

Don’t know what a urban landscape is? Here’s the competition definition:
Urban Landscape is something relating to or concerned with cities, city life or densely populated areas. Urban landscape photography is usually associated with imagery within contemporary mediums, cities, buildings, streets, subways and just about anywhere human life exists and lives. It represents and expresses experiences that exist among these areas and it can sometimes focus more on the patterns or processes of those areas rather than the people.
Here’s the full Terms and Conditions
This year we will also have the 30 finalists on display in The Epson Print Gallery, printed on Canson Platine Fine Art media.
