The first showing a birdhouse, is cool in colour and really shows off the characteristics of the Helios 44-2 lens wide open. While the second, of roses, is much warmer and shows the vibrancy of Kodak Portra 160 film.

I like them both very much.

Many thanks,
Martin

Thank you, I'm glad they were appreciated. Not such perfect compositions as your print this month though!

Just received a beautiful print showing the historic ship, HMS Gannet at Chatham, on what was clearly a lovely autumn day. The negative has been expertly exposed to render all tones, including a great sky. The resulting print has a very nice luminance throughout. Tony has included a lot of historical detail about this vessel, which is most welcome and much appreciated.
Many thanks, Tony.

I glad the print was of interest to you Alex bit of a lucky coincidence.
Thanks for the comments I will try and post it in the Gallery soon.

Just received not one, but three fascinating 5x7 prints from Terry S. Well printed on three different paper stocks and toned differently. Great minds think alike Terry! I've been considering going down from 10x8 to 5x7 as my standard printing size. Not just on the grounds of cost but because 10x8 boxes of prints are starting to fill the house!

Wow, the Royal Mail has impressed me again, as I think I must have caught the last postal collection of the day, at my local Waitrose shop. And NO! the stamps don't cost anymore than usual, being the only thing they sell that doesn't I reckon.

It's always good to hear that our work is appreciated, even though we do it to amuse ourselves a lot of the time, so thanks for the comments Rob.

I'll do my best to put the two new prints in the gallery real soon. Not the third one though, as that was a spare print that I had from the previous round on Art 300 paper, and I just wanted to show someone else what a lovely paper it is to print with.

Received today a nice photo of a frozen glove on a branch, beautifully printed.

Thanks Alex!
