I found out they make that film I like under a different name now called 160S, so I am going to pick me up a box when I go.

Yeah, that building really glows red. Also, film does lose it's accuracy when it passes it's expiration date (this roll was 5 years past it) and when you over expose it like I did, the combination of the two makes for an interesting outcome I think. =)

So this is a question for some of our professionals out there. What are some recommendations for printing your work? I've been looking at some sights online, and they mainly want to make sure that you're a professional before they work with you. If I do decide to print something, I want it to be on that heavy, beautiful photo paper that they use in the professional print houses. Any thoughts and ideas?
Printing houses are kinda hit and miss. I cant really tell you what works best for me because I use different places for different photography subjects.
My recommendation is to ask them if they have downloadable printing profiles. This will insure that what you see on your monitor (if calibrated correctly.. that's another story) will be pretty damn close to what you get with a print. Typically printers offer less colors and dynamic range than your monitor does. Its quite the challenge to make it look like there isnt a difference.
Many printing houses offer inexpensive prints. Find a few places and submit the same photo to as many as you would like. When they all get back to you, examine them side by side until you find what looks best to you. If still in doubt, send a few different photos off to your top 3 until you have narrowed it down. Every print shop offers something unique.
Bottom line: Experiment until you find something that work the best for you and your work.

I recently decided to finally try my go at shooting people. It's not something I feel I have really tried, so I am having a go at it for better or for worse. It's somewhere I feel I could grow a lot with my style.

Not everyone reads every single post in a given thread, especially a thread the size of this one.
I have yet to hear an American say, "yeah, I go to university." They might say they they go to A university, but I have never heard the experience referred to as university.
Why are you such a dick about everything? Does your mommy never give any attention or something?

On to more pertinent discussion:
Good stuff. I have used Kinko's in the past for my professional graphics projects, and they always .bat test portions of the images to get the print looking as close as possible to the digital version. The final prints come out looking fabuluous, for lack of a better word.

I've mentioned it in other threads too. In future if I discuss it I will make it nice and big and bold so that you notice it.

Ummm, you might be correct about the thumb placement, but coming from someone that shoots pretty often and has gotten perfect scores with a handgun there's no problem with stabalising underneath the weapon if it's more comfortable for you. That's how I shoot anyway and the military/police don't have a problem with it.
You can hold it however you want but you are losing a lot of recoil control by holding it like that.
I come to this thread seeking advice, rather than photos.
For a university project, I have to document a roadtrip (promoting it positively, but not cheesily) with photography. Whilst I have experience with landscapes and photography with things I have planned to take, I've no real experience with documented/documentary style photography. Do you have any suggestions or tips on what's the best way to do this?

I think it kind of depends on what you want to highlight during the road trip - the movement or the stops. Personally, my first idea would be to do both. Think drive-by-shootings (yeah, everyone does them now, but it's because they are great) for the former and pictures of the people you encounter during the stops, e.g. gas station attendants, diner workers (errr, you're British - whatever food places lie along roads there), policemen or people stuck in a traffic jam.
Does this make sense?

Absolutely, and it certainly helps to point me in the right direction, thank you!
Do you think that the photos should have a sort of snapshot feel to them, as opposed to being set up and looking all 'pretty'? I was discussing this with the people in my group/who I'm going on the roadtrip with, and they seem to favour composed over snapshot.

Composed for the stop pictures (unless you manage to take some surprisingly good shots with snaps), snapshot (by definition) for the drive-by-shootings. That's just what I think though, as with my inexperience I'm not doing particular well with doing photographs without much preparation.
