Print Exchange

[Nige]

I haven't got to see the prints yet but for those asking, I believe the paper I used isn't available anymore. Originally made in India I believe, but minimal web presence according to google. Found one reference to it but it didn't actually describe what the paper they were selling was. Been working my way through a 100sheet box on subjects that suit a creamy or toned base.

I've found (old) Viradon gives a more 'neutral' brown tone (the whites tone but don't go yellow like they tend to with a 2 bath sepia). I'm nearly at the bottom of my last bottle of this stuff, no idea if the newer (New viradon) behaves the same.

Any thoughts on including the kiwis in the next exchange, perhaps? It could be fun, and we're all in the same boat, photography wise. I dare say New Zealand probably gets a rougher deal when it comes to the prices of materials.

[Mick Fagan]

I don't have an issue with that, perhaps it could be called the ANZ print exchange, or NZA print exchange, whatever floats your boat. :-)

...And the availability of quality analogue services.

Maybe call it APUG Trans-Tasman Print Exchange.

Wow, very quiet in this thread...
For me, a big part of the fun of these print exchanges is reading everyone's comments about all the images. You know, looking at the various prints afresh through the eyes of others, seeing things I may not have seen myself.
I hope we haven't already reached the end of the feedback posts?!

I've decided not to respond to the prints. I can't say anything that hasn't been said.
They are all great and I've got a few up in my darkroom and office.
Bring on the next one.

hey guys, do we want to get another round going, include NZ as well?

[Kevin Caulfield]

I'll be in it. I think the last round went pretty well, with just one non-finisher. That's a lot better than the hit-rate we used to get on the postcard excchange.

I'll be in it too - I learnt a lot, just seeing everyone's different ways of doing things -this will motivate me to get the new darkroom/laundry up and running quicker....

Marc!

In signing up for the next exchange, I realised I haven't given any comprehensive thoughts on the last round! So much 'life' stuff has been going on, I've forgotten all about it. I think it'll be good to spread them all out again after having not looked at them for a while, I've been thinking of them on and off, and hopefully my subconscious has been pondering them and I'll see all sorts of things I didn't pick up last time. ...I'll get on to this...

[Oxleyroad]

I'll definitely be in the next one:) Can't wait.

Do we want a new thread for the next exchange?

[munz6869]

There is one, Andy - it's here http://www.apug.org/forums/forum214/81326-nz-print-exchange-round-2-sign-up-2.html - add your name!!!

Marc!

Sorry I have not responded with comments either, life has been a bit hectic lately - I was finally made redundant two weeks ago after 4 months of waiting for news from management in the US. In anticipation of the expected news, we've been preapring to sell our house and move cities and as a result so I don't know if I'll be able to participate in the 2nd round, although I'd love to.

Sorry to hear this Glenn. I hope everything works out OK (and that you are able to participate in the exchange too). Brisbane cannot afford to lose any film photographers!
