Let's All Print (or Maybe Scan) One Negative 2025

That's good enthusiasm!

I aim to please Don!

Hi, Terry
Glad to see you back in the exchange related activities.

Yes, it's been a while Bedrof. But the cost of sending many bits around the world from the UK has become a bit too expensive. Also, I was lucky if I received one reply from the Postcard exchange, with the majority not even acknowledging receipt of my work...

The 1 to 1 swaps were fine though, so I may return to those. I'll have to investigate.

Why am I not surprised that the UK is behind here?

LOL. Like posted earlier, I can get something to Europe in just a few days, but sending something local, in the same town, and it takes a week or more...?

Oh, and before I forget, which is the main reason for signing in, was to acknowledge receipt of the negative. Many thanks again! I hope to have a spare period early next week. I'm looking forward to printing it, as doing something with someone else's negative, is always fun. And the wait to see what others are doing will probably give me a couple of sleepless nights!

Can you all tell how excited I am by this challenge?

I'm glad you're excited and I look forward to seeing what you do.

As for the postcard exchange, it currently seems to be pretty close to a 100% sending and received rate. Or I haven't had any complaints. Most people seem to reporting when they receive a card.

The expense, though, is pretty significant.

My negative has arrived at last! It doesn’t seem so very dense. I’m going to the dentist tomorrow, and I had expected I would have to ask them to x-ray it. But I think I can cope with my normal wattage enlarger bulb. Hoping to have a go next week.

It's not impenetrable but it is on the overcooked side.
