Small Print Exchange - Round 4

[anikin]

I have to apologize to my group for being late with my prints. I promise, I will get it done. It's just been a bit more challenging than I expected.

 

[anikin]

I have finally mailed my prints today. Sorry about the delay!

I still have to find a way to get what I want with the negative I selected. The print is almost fine, but I need some more highlights. I'll try Farmer's reducer and hope it's what will make it shine, but am afraid there could be some more delay.

My sincere apologies that my prints are so late. The final prints are in the drying rack now after several iterations. I will take them in for mounting on Monday and should have them in the post by Wednesday latest.

Rachelle thank you for the exquisite print. The delicacy if the tree juxtaposed with the strong texture and beautiful tonality of the brickwork is remarkable. Thanks so much!

My sincere apologies once more. My prints will be on their way shortly.

Andrew

Feeling like a deadbeat, but finally got the prints packed up and ready to ship - They will be in the post tonight.

I mailed the prints this morning. I expect them to take about 2 weeks to arrive. Sorry for the delay.

The print is of the Ipithi Falls in the Krantzkloof nature reserve. The Krantzkloof is a deep gorge cut by the Molweni river after which my home town, Kloof, is named. "Ipithi" is Zulu (the local indigenous language) for "duiker", a small antelope that is native to the forested areas of Southern Africa and can be seen in the Krantzkloof. The photograph was shot in 6x4.5 format on Ilford Delta 100, developed in ID-11 (1+1) and printed on Ilford Art 300 fibre paper. It is not toned but was processed according to the "optimum permanence" process in the Art 300 data sheet.

I hope you like it.

Kind Regards
Andrew

Thank you very much for the "Standing Stones, Cumbria" infra-red print, Paul! It must be very interesting to live somewhere one can come across things from vanished cultures.

Actually, just a week in my case. Beautiful print Andrew, I really like it. Great image, wonderful tones. Thanks so much!

"Standing Stones" are in reality, a pair of gateposts from a stone wall that has long disappeared. Most likely, they are maybe two hundred years old, not the thousands one might associate with something like Stonehenge or the pyramids of Egypt.

I received your print earlier this week, and really like it. Thanks !

I think I have the prints I want to send, but they still need some work (spotting and a bit of reducing to get the highlights rght). I do hope I'll be able to send them earlier next week.

A wonderful small print arrived this morning. The image captured is truly inspirational - One of the few occasions that words can not do it justice.

Received Prints

Craig, prints arrived yesterday. I enjoyed the series very much and the tones are beautiful. Interesting mounting technique. Loren

Thanks Paul !

 

[Mike Wilde]

Craig - I got you very well packaged set of three prints.
Are these mere minutes apart, or a spot you came back to over a little while?
The concept is neat. Such a differnt look, all with the same viewpoint.

The family quite like them.
Now as to were to hang them?
I quite like your matting technique.

 

[ccross]

Loren / Mike,

Glad the prints made their way to you safely, never sure these days with Canada Post.

The images were taken over the course of about twenty comical minutes, for my wife at least, as I tried to manage changing cameras / lenses and loading / unloading them into my bag while standing in the water (no I'm not smart enough to walk the hundred feet to the dry beach). My wife has laughed at me a number of times when she finds me fascinated by the smallest things. She told me later that I had a number of curious onlookers as I stood in the water just staring at the waves.

Yes, I was fascinated by the different patterns and textures in the water / sand and tried to capture as many different versions as I could. There was a fourth image that wanted to print as part of the set, but it had an unfortunate lens flare in exactly the wrong spot.

I'm not sure if the matting technique has a name or not, I can't remember where I first saw it, but I really like the way it looks too.

Anyway, glad you enjoy them, sorry again for being so late.

Craig

Received a lovely print from Laurent while I was out at Photostock the week before last, then went and had a brain fart and posted the 'thank you' in the Blind Print Exchange forum. Cripes. I'm not getting older -- I'm getting dumber! Sorry, Laurent! Thanks for the great print.

Mike

 

[Laurent]

No issue Mike, I was just checking whether it arrived or not ;-)

 

[andrew.roos]

Print Received (Allan W)

I received a very interesting and well executed selenium-toned diptych from Allan W yesterday. I'm sorry for the delay in acknowledging receipt, but the post around here can be terribly slow for received mail sometimes (sent mail does not seem to suffer from such bad delays). Thanks Allan!

 

[lightwisps]

I'm in. Can't resist!! Love trading prints anytime. Don

 

[anikin]

I have received a precious matted print from Delphine. Thank you very much! Both my wife and me loved it. It's got this special romantic feel to it.
We are now looking for a frame for it - it's just got to be displayed on the wall!

Eugene.

 

[delphine]

Hi Eugene, I am glad that you liked the print. Thank you for your print indeed, as I said in my letter it is special and unusual, it is printed on a hand coated silver emulsion material. I loved the way it was presented on the rough on the card board with the folded bits of paper. I won't take the print out of the card board they sit so well together, I'll definitely frame it, as an artefact in a box frame. You can be chuffed, your efforts to perceivere with the technic paid off. Thank you and sorry for not posting a feedback sooner when I received the print.

Best

Delphine
