		<description><![CDATA[Jamie Williamson tells us how he turned a series of wedding photos into a printed book using an online service.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently made a wedding book using <a href="http://www.photobox.co.uk/">Photobox</a> and, for just short of £100, created a wonderful hard-backed book with excellent prints that I was proud to present. Having used this online service before to make a couple of smaller books I already knew how the system worked – but it is very easy to pick-up.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1463" title="jamie-w" src="http://exposureleeds.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/jamie-w.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="230" /></p>
<p>Uploading the images is simple and the layout options are straight-forward. The only problem I had was that the shots didn&#8217;t remain in the same sequence as when I uploaded them. In my wedding books I prefer to show photographs in chronological order – to help re-tell the story of the day. So re-sequencing everything was a bit fiddly and fairly time consuming. I was glad to have upgraded and spent the extra money on heavier paper, removal of the  Photobox logo and an A3 sized format &#8211; the end result definitely had that &#8216;wow!&#8217; factor</p>
<p>I&#8217;d selected Photobox for the quality of prints. This had been great in the colour books I&#8217;d done previously but for this book I converted all the images to black and white. I had also added some toning to warm up the images. Because of this I was quite nervous as to how this would show in the book but it was worth the risk and the shadow details had the rich feel that I was looking for.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t used any of the other photo book services so I can only comment on this service but with a bit of effort, it is a really easy way to get your photos into a book.</p>
<p>The proof of success? People are still drawn to pick up and look at the books.</p>
