Alt Print Exchange Round 9, May 2009

[FredW]

Sorry for the delay, I have been rather busy. Its now time to start another round.

Sign up by May 31, 2009, Prints to be delivered by the end of June 2009.

For this round please specify if you class yourself as: (B)eginner (I)ntermediate or (E)xpert which will help in putting the groups together to ensure an even spread - again every attempt will be made to put people into new groups! Groups will be of 4 or 5 individuals each sending an image to all of the others in their group. No restrictions on process - as long as its an alt. one, nor on size or presentation!

Since this is an analog site, the prints entire process should be analog, i.e. no digital negatives. Enlarged negatives are fine.
Also with input from the other participants, and seeing that there is an active Lith Print exchange, I have decided that lith prints will not be accepted in this exchange.

Please also include your first name if not your full name as well as your apug moniker to make things easier to communicate, and your level.

Thanks, Fred.

I'm in! Hope to be able to send 8x10 contact prints. I call myself intermediate. None of my contact info has changed, do you need me to re-send it?

 

[FredW]

Lillian, congratulations on your new 8x10 camera, it is a great format.

I've been waiting for this to come around again. I need to get off my butt and make some prints. First, I'll have to clean all the dust off of all the printing stuff.

I'm in!

I'm excited about the wetplate collodian. Glad you'll be participating Carl.

 

[colrehogan]

Can we submit multiple images, i.e. not the same subject to each person in our group?

 

[sly]

It's been done in the past - by me and by others

 

[FredW]

Diane, I do not have a problem with that. Multiple images are fine.

Fred.

 

[colrehogan]

Good, then hopefully, I'll try and do prints of several images for the exchange. I haven't printed since the last exchange. I don't print nearly enough. :rolleyes:

I'd like to try this too. I am a beginner. Are there any demands on the size of the prints?

Cheers
Ruediger

 

[Allen Friday]

If its not too late, I'd like to join the fray. I will probably do platinum prints, so mark me an E. I haven't been in the dark room lately. This will force me to develop the negatives I shot last month and to get some prints made.

Boy, that felt good. I'm already getting excited.

No, there are not size constraints, but it should be a contact print. I have received 4x5 in prints and have been extremely happy.

Ahh OK, I was just wondering if a 4x5" Pinhole negative might be OK, but I anyway decided to use enlarged negatives and I will send kallitypes.

Cheers

Gustavo, we usually have between 4 to 5 participants in a group, and you send one print to each individual in your group.
