Got mine in the post today.... Shipping paper to Australia one sheet at a time is indeed expensive

Hi
My first card arrived yesterday. From Pete H.
A nice pinhole photo. So it seems as Pete H sending out different cards this time.

Thanks Odd Magne, Sam and Barry.
Yes, I usually print 2 or 3 different negatives for a postcard exchange (2 this round), just to keep it interesting.
I had to get mine out as I'll be travelling a lot in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing cards from everyone!

Glad you liked it Lori. I just went out and shot it again yesterday at lunch.

The first of mine (to U.S. addresses) should go out in the morning's mail.

I'm a bit disappointed with Mpix's postcard printing service; I wanted to show the full frame of the scanned Kodachrome, but instead find that it's cropped in a way that too much alters the composition. Does anyone have any recommendations for color postcard printing? Next round I'll probably do the Ilford postcard paper thing, but I may want to do color again in the future.

Fleath, I was in Vanbar's last week and enquired as to whether they still had any in stock. A check of their computer revealed no stock in Australia. I think I bought about their last 400 sheets a few months ago, it was very old stock, like about 8 years.

As CR Kennedy the importer of Ilford product, refuses to import Ilford Postcard stock, unless there is any old stock in Australia, you will not be able to source any inside Australia.

I bought 1,000 sheets from Germany a couple of years ago, I'm almost through that lot and I think I will just cut up other stock to size for the future.

Mick.

I've got mine in the post today, monday 2009-06-08. I'am a bit excited about what I'll receive as well as what you receivers find of my photo.
Hope to receive a complete set of 25 pictures in return so I can make a sort of photobook of this at the costs of approx. euro 25,--. Seems resonable!

Mine are out, Guus. Can't wait to see what you have for us.

I have sent mine out today - also got my first two in the mail today. As a first timer this is interesting - I am looking forward to seeing what everyone has selected to do.
