Postcard Exchange Round 14 Results and Feedback ...

[BWKate]

Received mooseontheloose's postcard today. Very nice infrared image. Thank you very much!
Have only printed half my cards. Out of town family visitors and there goes any time in the darkroom!

I received mooseontheloose's card a few days ago. I'm slow about commenting, sorry. I like the glowing stone effect from the HIE.
I've managed to print and write out all the addresses on my cards but I always get stumped as to what I should write on them. Might take me a few days. Need to go buy stamps too...

First card has arrived

Hello all

I received the card from Rachelle (Mooseontheloose) yesterday. I like the special effect you get with Kodak HIE.

Regards

Birger A.

Rachelle's card was the first postcard I have received as an APUG member. It was so exciting! Thank you. Beautiful contrast and a very dramatic effect.

Over the past several days, I received Mooseontheloose(Rachelle) and Cara's cards. Two wonderful images. Rachelle, I find I am often picking images from my travels - perhaps they seem more "postcardy"? Cara, I'm curious if you would share any details how you printed it? It came out very nicely on the Ilford postcard paper.


I've selected one potential postcard and I'm developing my most recent rolls, hoping there will be another postcard candidate among the images - these early images are getting me psyched to get into the darkroom to print postcards!

To All:

I have recieved cards from Rachelle and JohnnyWalker. I like the conrast that Rachelle has capture with HIE. The peacefulness of Shuswap Lake is very inviting. It turns out I have a friend of a neice that lives near this lake. Thanks for the cards.

My cards were delivered to the Post Office on Friday. They should be in your mail boxes soon. If youy do not recieve one let me know so I can send another.

Regards,
Darwin

Will send mine out soon-hectic 2 weeks visiting the folks and printing, plus really busy at work too. I've printed a huge pile, I just need to decide which ones to send to which people....

 

[Cara]

Cara, I'm curious if you would share any details how you printed it? It came out very nicely on the Ilford postcard paper.

Jon, unfortunately I have no secrets to share. This was my first time
printing on Ilford portfolio paper and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The negative already contained a lot of contrast which necessitated a lot of burning on the statue. I used Illford 2000RT developer. I toned half of the cards in thiourea and the other half in iron blue.

I fell in love with this image. I am glad it was well received.

So far, I have received cards from Cara, Rachelle and Alan Peck.

They are fantastic and I am very excited about this. (This is my first exchange)

I am printing mine right now and hope you all will be pleased with what I am sending.

 

[johnnywalker]

Received the first card of my first postcard exchange today, from Rachelle. Very nice! A picture taken in Ireland by a Canadian living in France. A real international exchange this.

Sile, Dakota is part wolf, but the ears betray her uncertain ancestry.

 

[david b]

I just finished addressing my post cards. My hand is killing me.

I printed all 50 today. Went easier than I thought.

Will be mailing them all tomorrow.

 

[2F/2F]

Will be printing the pix in the next few days and sending probably next week. Sorry for the delay! Hell of a past few weeks, but it's OVER, and now I can focus on this.

 

[Cara]

I received a postcard from DRPSILVER yesterday. Beautiful texture and contrast. Thank you.

Cara:

I am glad you like the card. I like to make photographs that "have a story to tell".

I like the photography on your card. It gives me the sense of beginning a journey, going to new places. You have already answered the question that immediately came to mind, "What blue toner did you use?" Thanks for the card.

Regards,
Darwin

Has there been a delay? Am I late (for Round 14), without even knowing it?

Matt

 

[david b]

I just sent all of my cards out. Hope you all like it.

 

[sly]

No you're not late. Some members are just eager beavers.
I have recieved 2 postcards so far - Rachelle's and Johnny Walker's. I look forward to my relationship with the mailbox being very different and exciting this summer.
Am working on mine, but I won't make promises about when they will be in the mail.

 

[Síle]

Received Darwin's "Look into the past" today and I love it.. so very simple, yet beautiful and with so many stories in that one frame.

Thank you!

Síle

 

[david b]

No eager beaver here.

I am going to be away from June 23 to July 4 and did not want to have that sitting on my head.

I will have plenty to print when I get back as I have a few portrait sessions scheduled in NYC next week.

 

[BirgerA]

Two new cards

Hello again.

I received Johnny Walkers boatbuilder yesterday and Adrian Dears Steam Fair today.

I'll try not to be late this round, but I am leaving my current job by the end of next week, and there seems to be an endless list of things that has to be done by me before I leave.

Birger A.
