Hey I am glad they got through. It's been fun, i dont print that big and toning for me is still a rare occurrence - the tone here was not at all bold either.
It's true that the exchange pushes you to do more and i enjoyed it

I've received a very nice print from Miscco. An interesting and fun photo with a lot going on. It's of the "Friday Morning Swim Club" in Chicago showing bathers queuing to get up a ladder. It looks like most of them are having fun! Very nicely printed as well. I also very much appreciate the letter with the story behind the photograph.

Thanks!

Thanks Trond! Here's a scan of the print if anyone's interested in seeing it.

Thanks, it's nice to see what was exchanged. Here mines, although these are scans of the film

This is the one printed on FB

And this is the RC one. Or at least its subject:

Posted mine today!

And well received today!
Trond sent me something special, a beautiful photo taken on the beach on the Danish island of RØmØ.
The horizon is placed very high at around 7/8th towards the top of the frame, filling most of the frame with the wavy pattern of sand and a curvy water line around it.
A seagull is passing by somewhat mid-frame and to me that is the icing on the cake!

Trond printed the photo on one of his last sheets of Fomatone 532, a beautiful matte Chamois paper which I hadn't seen in real life yet (my darkroom journey started around 2020, when this paper was already discontinued).
It's a beautiful paper with a lovely subtle texture to it and it suits this scene very well.
It also reminds me that I still have some Fomatone MG 112 matte paper in stock, which I should really start using...

Thank you very much Trond, this photo will get a well-deserved spot in my collection!

Hello,
I got the prints from @halfaman - actually they arrived a few days ago but I wasn't home. They are both very nice color prints.
One is from a trip on a the Perito Moreno (what a fantastic place!). I would not have guessed that the negative is overexposed. The picture is impressive for the sense of scale and i like how the lines "drive" the exploration of the image. Also - all my respect for lugging the P 67 around!
The second one is from a particular place, the "garden festival" held annually in Allariz, where "garden" is to be intended in a wider sense. The picture is very nice, with the installation inserted in a perfect square, I like the composition a lot.
Fun fact - I stopped in Allariz last year on my way to Galicia. I did not know of the event unfortunately else I'd definitely would have paid a longer visit
