When you get a chance, those that have sent their postcards, I'd encourage you to also post your image in the gallery.

Thanks, Art.

I tried, but my scanner is a piece of crap. I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

I put the paper in the glass bed, placed the scanner in the developer, stopped, fixed and rinsed. Now it's quit working altogether. Ruined a perfectly good sheet of postcard paper...

You'll have to be content with your print copy.

Pandino,

Was that Rodinal developer? LOL

D76. I thought the "D" stood for digital? :confused:

Hello All,

Four more cards arrived over the weekend, from EllenMarie, another IR shot 'deux' feels a bit spooky but great.

Justin Knotzke, thank you a nice landscape, a contact print? Got a bit beaten up by the post but I like it very much.

Kevin Caulfield, lots of interest in this one. I have a Bronica SQ and like the format. Its a change from my 35mm stuff. Thanks

Berger A, I see the two pipes are constructed differently; one rivetted and the other in welded sections? ( there speaks an engineer ). Like the perspective, gives real depth to the image. Thanks to you too.

Regards to all Daniel

BWKate · Jul 11, 2006

Received 6 great postcards lately!
Thanks to Nancy: Very lovely shot of your granddaughter.
Kevin: Awesome shot of the train station. Love the format.
James(Blackmelas): Arrived totally pristine! Gorgeous still life.
Justin Knotzke: Lovely landscape, well done.
Randy Ellis: Beautifully done abstract of a plant.
Birger A : Love the inky black pipes taken in Norway. Stunning!

I'm almost finished writing mine out. As I write them out I mail them right away so they are getting to everyone at different times.
I've really enjoyed this exchange. Fantastic variety and so much fun to receive in the mail.

I received a beautiful landscape from jknotzke today.What lens did you use and what aperture? It is pin sharp.Well done.

Thank you Greg

jknotzke · Jul 12, 2006

Hi everyone,

Glad to see my landscape has arrived..

Some of you got a contact prints (six of you I believe) the rest got an "enlarged" print. After doing the first batch using contact print method, I realized it was ugly.. I didn't have enough paper to redo those six. So voila.

It was shot with a Shen Hao using a Schneider 150 APO Symmar at F11 or so.

Glad some of you have liked it.

I have been absolutely blown away by the quality thus far. Truly amazing stuff.

Thanks Derek Lofgreen Your card arrived today. I am not familiar with Pentax PZ-10 but Temron lens sure is contrasty and sharp. Could you tell me what film, film developer and paper developer did you use?It seems some post offices plaster code paper strip right over the image.

Cheers Greg

I've pulled all of them off without problem. The worst thing the post offices are doing to the cards that I reveive is rubbing a 1/4" spot of the emulsion off. It happens on every 4th or 5th card I reveive. They're all beauties however, keep them coming!

Derek Lofgreen · Jul 14, 2006

Greg,
I used the Astia.edu 400 stuff from freestyle. I actually kind of like the look it has, expecially for shooting old rusty stuff. I used the Ilford develpers and paper for the film and print. Pretty basic stuff. Glad you liked it.

D.

Buster6X6 · Jul 14, 2006

Thanks Derek I like rusty stuff to.
BWKate I received your wonderful image today.Could you please tell me which camera did you use and what did you soup it in?
Thanks for your kind words about image on my post card. I'm glad you like it.

Cheers Greg

BWKate · Jul 15, 2006

Hello Buster6X6,

Your welcome Greg! Because I blabbed on and on and wrote so much on the postcards I was going to post all the details of my postcard when I posted it. Anyways, the camera I use is a Contax 139 with a 25mm lens. I developed my film in Kodak D-76.

gr82bart · Jul 16, 2006

4 more wonderfull postcards this week from Todd, Derek, Justin and Victor. Keep'em coming! This round has been exciting.

Thanks, Art.

toddstew · Jul 16, 2006

I just wanted to finally thank everybody for the wonderful postcards. I was also wondering about the idea of splitting the group up a bit, because it makes it a bit difficult to do anything other than straight silver gelatin postcard stock prints. Any thoughts on this?
Todd

BWKate · Jul 17, 2006

Just received your postcard today toddstew! I really like it; very dark and mysterious.

JerseyVic: Another incredibly unique and beautiful postcard!

EllenMarie: Love that infrared, and very nice composition!

Thank you postcard people!

Buster6X6 · Jul 17, 2006

I received three more post cards today Thanks guy's
EllenMarie I never tried IR it looks great.As I told David I think I will try it in 120.
Jersey Vic Very dreamy look to the image, I have to be honest I never heard of Zonal Pro HQ WT?What kind of developer is this? Also very familiar greeting Thanks.
toddstewI like images that make you think is it horizontal or vertical, what it is part of. Very inspiring. Thank you for kind words on my image.Well done.

Cheers Greg

Kevin Caulfield · Jul 18, 2006

Buster, the Maco IR film is pretty good.

Buster6X6 · Jul 18, 2006

Thanks Kevin I will research further to find out what I need.It looks great I really like David's post card.

Greg

Ellenmarie · Jul 18, 2006

Just wanted to finally post and say thank you to all for the beautiful postcards. It's been so much fun to receive them. My granddaughter has enjoyed them as well!! And thank you for the kind words re: my infrared photo of the two swans from Middleton Plantation. I love when I have the chance to play with IR. I hadn't thought of trying it in my Mamiya but will have to now.

simulatordan · Jul 19, 2006

Hello All,

Three more great Postcards arrived:

Finally, thanks to Todd for you sculptural image very interesting. Thanks by the way for your comments on my 'card.
