Thanks Terry,
The post has just arrived bringing your two prints with it! I like the graphic nature of the prints, the play of light and shade. I appreciate them both, but my favourite is the one with the strong design of the swing - I know you prefer the other one. Thanks for the full explanation it the letter too, much appreciated. |

Re-reading my letter to you, I think I may have over enthused about one of the prints, but I like them both, as they are both quite different. It's only now, whilst scanning them for the gallery, that I note that the base whites are quite different to one another. The Kentmere seems more white of the two, with the new MGV paper being slightly off white to light cream. The light coming through the window at this time of year is probably also playing a part in this. A few minutes after writing this, they will appear in the gallery. Terry S |

Drat - I completely forgot that February is a short month (I'd also forgotten it is February, but that's another matter...). Mine is in the wash and will be posted tomorrow...

There is also another participant in this round who does not appear to have posted their contribution. Thanks, Mike Last edited by Bob; 1st March 2021 at 01:53 PM. |

Mine has also just gone in the post today. We have a temporary post office in town, and it was inexplicably closed when I went on Friday.

Mine belatedly now winging it's way. Possibly literally...
Apologies again for the delay. Must do better this month! Cheers, Bob. |

Thank you, it arrived yesterday accompanied by an interesting letter. The picture is of a snowy woodland scene with the full sun shining through the trees. I thought it was an excellent composition and well printed on Adox MCP gloss paper (I shall have to try some, I've previously like their semi matt paper)

Hi Edmund,
Glad you like it. Adox had to stop production of MCP & MCC paper, because one supplier increased their price quite heavily. They intend again to do everything on their own, but this will take time. They hope to start soon with Polywarmtone, but they are fighting with German bureacracy now to build the plant. Frank |

I read your note first before sliding your print out, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a picture in FULL COLOUR!!! I believe that I have only received one or maybe two colour prints, during all the years that I have been on the FADU Print Exchange. So, it makes it rather special in my eyes. The picture is of a large bright red London bus entering the frame from the left, with the 1950's 'brutalist concrete architecture' of London's Southbank buildings filling the rest of the frame. It's a place I recognise very well, having lived in London for about 20 years and this was an area that I visited regularly for exhibitions, plays and concerts, so it brings back a lot of memories. I've never done any darkroom colour work, although I have read a lot about it over the years, so I can appreciate your work and the process of getting the filtration right, which you definitely have. A great picture for my collection Edmund. Many thanks once more. Terry S |
