Spring Print Show - 2013

Rafal Lukawiecki · Mar 23, 2013

Well, I am on a bit of a roll, preparing for my two workshops in April. I have 14 new prints, worked through 2.5 boxes of paper, but you'll have to wait till the autumn showing, as, sadly for me, I am going to have to miss this one, as I am going to be in US.

I've been experimenting mixing a few new developers, searching for a tone that I would like to get. I'd love to share with you what I have learned preparing Ansco 103 (not 130), ID-62, and DS-14.

Good luck, printing, everyone.

I have a couple ready and will probably get one more session in the darkroom before our meeting. So hopefully I'll have four or five with me.

I have a few printed, but need to exercise a bit of quality control on them before selecting some to bring. I might get one more run in the darkroom before the day.....

Looking forward to it though, and also the trip out later on ....

If any of you are still looking for a 4x5 enlarger, this one, LPL 7451 Diffusion Modular Enlarger, is a good one to look at. I've no connection to the seller, other than that I just bought an easel from him, to be delivered in April. If I had space for a second enlarger, and I was going to drive to the UK to collect it, I'd get it. Even better if it had the VCCE head for B&W but the colour one is good too.

I hope to attend the DCC meeting this week to confirm the date for our meeting. I've also been working in the darkroom so I expect to have 5 or 6 prints ready.

Oh! lord am I now going to be in a rush, I've a load of negs done so better get the finger out and get at least two or three prints ready.

fran · Mar 26, 2013

Nothing like a deadline to concentrate the efforts!!

That's great, looking good so far, Paul plenty of time with the long weekend coming up to make a few prints. Rafal that looks a great enlarger, even at 600£ it looks good value, surprised its still for sale. Would love an enlarger of that quality but dont have the room at the moment. Enjoy the trip.

Just to confirm that I was at the club last night and we are all set for our meeting on Sat.6th April. The meeting start around 10 AM. If you arrive too early the club will be locked but I suggest that you might go to Insomia Coffee Shop just beside Gunn's Camera Shop and I will give you a shout there before we open. Looking forward to our get together.

Searcher · Apr 3, 2013

I'm looking forward to the meeting, and getting some feedback from a few recent printing sessions. I'll also bring the negs that I exposed on Frans camera from the LF meet at Killiney (and a few CDs like last time!).

My last print is drying..... hope it looks OK in the morning!

I don't think I'll have much mounting done but I'll have prints!

Looking forward to seeing you all there..

Have fun, guys. I'm jealous (nicely) of your meeting, but I'm busy learning selective masking at Alan Ross's in Santa Fe, plus a million other useful things. He is amazing, and a very nice person.

PS. At the entrance to his darkroom, there is a rug on the floor—which Ansel Adams used as a test target when working on early Polaroid! I'm mildly embarrassed to be stepping on it...

fran · Apr 5, 2013

Enjoy Rafal!!

monosnaps · Apr 5, 2013

Just finished mounting a few images, see you all on Saturday, hope to be in early so will drop into Insomnia.

thefizz · Apr 5, 2013

I'm mounting at present and looking forward to the meet up.

Really enjoyed today, great turn out with a great selection of prints and styles, well done to everyone, we may need a bigger room in the autumn, LOL

fran · Apr 6, 2013

It was great to have you and Greg join us for our session bringing our attendance numbers to an all time high. The variety of work on display was terrific and is what I think makes our meetings so interesting and enjoyable. Between our print showings and outings our group is getting stronger and more meaningful. Long may we run.

przemyslaw zorylo · Apr 7, 2013

Nice work you have in Mountboard, I have one Dead Link Removed I'll take a meeting a few in mountboard .

There was a good bit of talk about lith printing last Sat - I haven't been turned on to it yet, but I saw this thread this evening and thought it might be of some use just because it lists the currently available papers suitable for this process:
