Received today from SanMiguel an intriguing print of a still life with a very full description of what he was trying to portray and how it was achieved. Well, it is very successful with the atmosphere enhanced with the print made on a warm ivory paper.

I don't think I have the imagination to make and photograph a set up so effectively. I do confess to have a psychological problem with warm coloured printing paper. They make me think that the print hasn't been fixed properly or stained by an error in the processing. I must be suffering from some past d/u trauma and have some kind of PSTD!!!
Thanks for challenging me.

Mike

That confused me - I changed one and suddenly the other two changed too! I though the old brain had finally gone (I have been waiting...)!

Cheers, Bob.

The light picks out the highlights and details showing very nice contrast and separation, helped no doubt as you say, by the use of selenium.

We do indeed see quite a few of these type of vessels here in the Netherlands as well, on the rivers Maas and Waal.

A great many thanks!

I've just posted my offering by first class post, but it will probably take a day or two longer to arrive, going by letters that I've received recently.

Glad it arrived Ok Marty. Thanks for the comments I thought it might be a familiar sight for you. No doubt The Netherlands is the start and finishing point for most of these barges.

I'm glad it arrived safely Mike. Thanks for your comments. The Foma133 paper is very nice for certain subjects - Foma suggest portraits and 'retro-style' photography. When I've tried it with a warmtone developer it goes a bit 'off the scale' for my liking but ordinary Multigrade tames it somewhat. It tones very nicely.

Unfortunately I forgot to scan the particular print that I sent you, but I will upload another print from that session to the PE Gallery. The only noticeable difference is that in the print I'm about to upload I burned in around the top of the briefcase a little so the folds in the backdrop aren't as visible. Other than that, the same print in the Gallery is the same as the one Mike received.

Regards,
Michael

Two prints received this morning, Terry, so not a bad effort by the Royal Mail.

The prints are from a place called Barnards Farm in Essex, which sounds like a great spot to hit every couple of years, Terry. The first, of a large sculpture, is printed on Art 300, which has a lovely feel to it. It's a super paper and I like the composition of the shot - there's a nice balance/symmetry to it.

The second is on MGV Pearl which of course is a different paper entirely. Apart from the texture of the surface, the foliage and sky in the Art 300 are much more pleasing to my eye. The composition of the second shot is interesting - it took me a moment or two to realise that it was half a face in the foreground but when I 'got' it, I liked it. I think it adds to the shot.

Thanks for the prints.
Michael

Thanks for the comments Micheal.

Royal Mail really has pulled out the stops with the delivery, I thought you might even have had to wait for it, until after Christmas, if you can believe all the headlines about delays in the post.

And yes, I too much prefer the Art 300's surface and am getting closer to try and print more or even everything on FB papers, but for a while I think it will be a mixture of the two.

I'll get them both scanned and put into the gallery as soon as possible.
