Here is what Alex had to...

It's just been the BEST week ever being here in Swanage helping guests with their underwater photography skills and creating beautiful canvas prints for visitors too.   Mandy (pictured here with this incredible canvas image) came to me asking if photos taken with her phone would be good enough to create canvas prints.  Absolutely!  was my answer and the quality delivered from this new Canon Printer really is beyond belief with incredible detail being shown in the waves and droplets of water on the shore.
