Postcard Exchange : Round 7

[Mick Fagan]

Nige, does that mean you now have your round 8 neg in the can?

Mick.

 

[Nige]

lol! Probably not... not a photographically memorable trip I'm predicting! (2 films developed, several more to be done)

 

[Markok765]

Im wondering, what should i send out? soccer photo, landscape, street, still life. what genre?

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

Marko, the answer is "anything and/or everything". If you have a series of potentially useable shots, then why not send out several of each? Anything goes, so nothing is "wrong".

 

[Kevin Caulfield]

Okay, I feel like I'm lagging a long way behind here, but I've processed my film and have a couple of potential shots to use. I should get into the darkroom again some time within the next day or two, so I'm on target.

Regards Daniel

I've just posted all of mine off. Although I only appear to have sent 44 cards, so I think I've missed one. If you don't get yours within a couple of weeks, send me a PM and I'll send you a card as I have a few spare.

Disclaimer: This doesn't apply to people who's cards get lost in the post, only the person I missed.

Kevin,

You still have lots of time! I've got mine all printed but I have to address them all and of course write on all of them. I picked a negative that required no dodging and burning to make it easier.

Tom,

Don't forget to enter the postcard contest! The details are on a different thread that is B&W Film, I think. It wouldn't be hard to find.

No offence, but how will you know the difference?

 

[Markok765]

I have chosed the perfect neg. a street photo of 2 resturant chefs carrying a huge pot of soup to a wedding. on PAN F+ i love it!

[Tom Kershaw]

I have a list of the people I sent the cards to.

 

[tommy5c]

so why not cross refrence the ones you sent with the original list? you should have 2 names left, yours and the unsent postcard.

Hi to all! I got Buster6x6 card today. I really like it, creative and different. And so Canadian. Now you have to tell us all how you made that carton of cream stand in the air? I think I know how, but let's hear it from you.

 

[Derek Lofgreen]

I just orderd my paper so I am going to try and get mine printed and out in the mail next week. This round is shaping up to be very nice. Keep them coming.

OK! All the cards wet into Japan Post today (the 20th). I printed 4 images. You'll receive only one, but I'll post scans of all the cards in a week or so. I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Thanks to Metod, Gary Beasley, David Goldfarb, Art, Alex Wei, Ben Reed, and Dharmendra! I received a bundle of your cards yesterday. Seven cards on one day, but none today! Loved all of them. Dharmendra, your's is really special. I love the minimalist composition, and I think that exposing for detail in the moon was the right approach. Now I've got to go out and try something similar.

 

[Buster6X6]

Now you have to tell us all how you made that carton of cream stand in the air? I think I know how, but let's hear it from you.

Hi Metod it was very simple.I used glass cup with some colored resin in it then I stuck white plastic spoon bend it a bit with heat glued carton on to it.
I also received Ben's card today Thank you very much. There is no limit to creativity simple and unique.I just wish post office did not stick a peace of paper with code over the image.

That's what I thought. If the list was checked, there should not be a problem.

I've had a few of those sticky bits of postal nonsense stuck to the front arrive and have been able to gently coax them off, Greg.

 

[Tom Kershaw]

I have just cross-referenced the lists and they match up, so I may have made a mistake in counting the cards before I sent them out.

Thanks for the update, Tom. I have miscounted before too, and this time it's a much bigger group.

 

[gr82bart]

Woohoo!

Awesome. Can't wait for more.

Regards, Art.
