I'm dropping out as it appears there is some difficulty pairing me up with someone.

 

[adamc]

ciocc,
We haven't been divided into our groups yet. The names after our screen names on the list are our real names, not who we've been paired up with.

Stay with us...

[FredW]

ciocc,
I have not created the groups yet, look here after the new year if you would still like to participate. Thanks.

Fred.

 

[ciocc]

Sorry. Made the wrong assumption. I've been wanting to have my real name displayed...not sure how to do that.

Eric.

I've send the prints to the people in my group on 8th of january. Please let me know when you receive it if everything is in good order. Thanks

 

[singerb]

Just received a lovely 5x7 Pt/Pd print from Tony; came perfectly in the mail, and looks great. All of these will be the first non-cyanotype alt process prints I've seen in person, so I'm looking forward to studying them all.

 

[adamc]

recieved and sent

I recieved my VDB from Cezar on Friday, 1/22. It's very nice with lovely tones. Thank you Cezar.
I especially enjoyed the note telling us your process. It was a nice addition and I ended up doing the same.

Also, I just got back from the post office and sent out my prints to all corners of the globe, hope you enjoy!


Adam

 

[colrehogan]

I received a very nice image from Cesar in today's mail. I will be a bit behind since I was out of town for a week.

 

[coriana6jp]

I am getting ready to ship later this week. I am running behind as usual.


Gary

 

[piticu]

I've received a very nicely presented VDB from Adam. If it's ok with him i'd like to post a scan

 

[rst]

So far I got two nice little gems from Adam and Cezar. I like them. Thanks guys.

As far as my prints go ... I will print this night and hope to get them to the mail this week. I know I am a bit late.

Cheers
Ruediger

 

[colrehogan]

Oh, I did receive a print from Adam, I forgot to post here.

 

[piticu]

Adam was kind to let me post a scan of his print, so here we go:

 

[piticu]

Also, i got a small question for Adam: you said you preacoated the paper (Lana Aquarelle) with 10% oxalic acid. What is the purpose of this coat? I apologize for my ignorance.

 

[adamc]

I believe the instructions that came with the paper, from Bostick & Sullivan, reccommended a 10% oxalic acid precoat. I did some tests and got slightly higher contrast images with the precoated paper. I'm still a beginner though, so if anybody has tips please let me know.
