As per the signup thread, you have until the 30th of November to get your prints to me. My address details should have been sent to you in a separate PM.

As there are 10 participants, you have to print 9 images. Just remember, your prints are to be no more than 8 inches on the shortest side and 10 inches on the longest side. And as per the new clarification of the rules, we will no longer accept prints that have been made via digital means. This excludes: inkjet prints, mini lab prints, laser prints, etc - basically, if a computer sent it to the device that printed it, its out. Sorry, but the tribe has spoken.. If you need clarification, either send me a message OR post to this thread.

I have also attached the Information template that has been used for previous rounds.

Cheers and have fun!

AND..... I'm off to a fly start! I celebrated our Labour day by spending the afternoon in the darkroom! First time in 2 months. 9 prints are sitting in the shower slowly drying.

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

You bas.... Very well organised.

 

[hoffy]

This is very unlike me.

What, you make photocopies....

 

[Oxleyroad]

I'll bring mine to Oz in Nov when I return for a short visit, and post from Melbourne. When it comes time to send back my prints to me I'll transfer some cash into your account Ash if it has not changed from last time.

 

[hoffy]

Yep, that sounds fine!

 

[hoffy]

Hey Folks,

I've just come back from a week and a half away and..... Mr Postman hadn't delivered anything new!

So, how are we all going with our prints?

Cheers

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

I have my paper ready and just need to finally choose a negative. I expect to be printing next week and should have my prints sent off by the end of next week.

 

[House]

I feel like such a slouch trying to decide what to print. I'm not quite satisfied with what I have so I'm using it as an excuse to get out more and shoot.

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

I went into the darkroom on Saturday to try and work out which negative to print. Well, I got on a roll and managed to do my prints. I am happy to say that they are now in the hands of our wonderful Australia Post. Just for info, in case anybody else is wondering, my package, which is an Ilford 25 sheet box (the newish actual box as opposed to the old cardboard package), in a plastic Sealed Air type envelope, weighed in around 340 g, and the postage cost each way is $7.95.

 

[hoffy]

Good work! Looking forward to seeing them

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

I hope my prints arrived.

 

[hoffy]

Yes, they have. They arrived yesterday

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

Cool.

 

[SMBooth]

Sent today...

 

[hoffy]

Thanks!

 

[hoffy]

And they have arrived

 

[Oxleyroad]

Prints done, and packed in case #1 Will be posting Mon 11/20 as Aussie Post not open on Saturday like the USPS.

 

[hoffy]

Cheers Andy
