I hope you included your photrio handle and the round number on them. Or are going to be this rounds mystery card?

 

[mfohl]

That's no challenge ... !!!

I have selected several possible images to use for this round. However, I now need to find the time to print for the PCX, as well as another project. I hope to get some "darkroom time" next week. I look forward to receiving cards, and seeing other's work.

Regards,
Darwin

That info I did add, but nothing more about equipment or process...

 

[MattKing]

And another item please, if I may.
A title, or a brief description, to make referring to the card in this thread much easier!

 

[BSP]

You have a point.

 

[MattiS]

At the moment I'm heading a bit into cyanotypes. Maybe this round is a good opportunity to get some routine...

 

[FotoGys]

All postcards are in the mail as off yesterday.
Looking forward on receiving your cards and also encourage you to give some feedback on my card since my last participation happened in round 24.

Enjoy and stay safe

 

[Oxleyroad]

Printed mine, have to label them all now.

And already received it! Thanks alot. A very nice image that together with the making of story gives some hope that these crazy times might not have to last forever.

PS: the dunes along the coast in Zeeland are also very nice. I can recommend some great locations for you with that camera.

Stay safe, keep printing!

Today I also received @Dan McGuire 's technically most impressive postcard depicting architecture details in a manner that is seemingly only possible by mastering the larger formats.

Just lovely to look at and flip over to read all about details.

Thanks Dan!

@BSP
Thank you very much for your description of my postcard
As the originator of the item, almost all I see is faults, things I would do different, etc etc.........
Never been one to share my work in the past
So this exchange is a departure for me and you have made it very rewarding
Dan

 

[FotoGys]

I received the postcard of Bill (BSP) which intrigued me. Could you share us some details on process, material, working method?
Besides that I think it's a interesting foto, lik de looks of it and the way it's framed.

Thanks Bill

Thanks Bill for your comments.
I appreciate if you please pm me some regional advise on where to visit in Zeeland. Not for today or tomorrow but definitely in time.
Thanks

Got my cards into the mail today. Four different cards, out to 20+ folks. Let the fun begin.

 

[mfohl]

First card of round 51 came in today. Dan McGuire's very nice church steeple. From a 5x7 negative, which is bigger than the card! Is this a contact print??

 

[MattKing]

I too received Dan's excellent "Springford Steeple" card.
A perfect use of front rise!

This is not a contact print
The original negative was of the whole church
The original print of the full negative left me rather underwhelmed
But the steeple detail along with the gradiations of the sky stood out to me

[Oxleyroad]

All of mine but for 8 internationals went into the mail yesterday. Tomorrow I will get stamps for these and they'll be on their way.

OK, cool. That means you have at least a 5x7 enlarger. Good for you!

@mfohl I have a converted enlarger that was done by someone on this site
https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/8x10-conversion-beseler-45.178738/
This conversion took an old Beseler 4X5 and upped its game to 8x10
Now all I gotta do is find an 8x10 Camera somewhere....
