Digital Processing Costs

Today I went to get 36 of my images to be instant printed  6 x 4  .
https://www.maxphoto.co.uk/photo-printing.html
To my amazement the cost was over £15 , this came as quite a shock as I've never had my images processed .
I remember taking my APS film cartridge in where 36 images cost £6 this was in the 90's

Why is it so expensive ? I now understand why people keep their images on hard drives , CD, or other storage devices . I guess the days of actually having your snaps processed has long gone . How do other people get around this ?

Spring is in the Air

Time has passed us by and Spring is around the corner , we see blossom on the trees, bees on the flowers and daffodils in the borders . It is a time of renewal and rebirth. Animals start to pair up ready for the next generation . As photographers its a time where we can capture the action as males strive to win their partners . Survival of the strongest and fittest . Looking around us we see life springing into motion , gone is the lethargy of Winter .
