Yesterday I got tow very beautiful prints from Frank (PanFrank). Both are flowers.
The rose is a contact print from a large format photograph, taken in some kind of studio. I like the subtle values of gray here. The second is the blossom of a magnolia, taken outdoors with a Hasselblad camera. The blossoms stand very well against the dark background. I love the heavy baryta paper (Adox MCC). My wife is a biologist and loves plants and their blooms. They enjoyed the prints very much too. |

Thank you very much for your kind words, Uwe. I am glad you like them, though I have to apologize for the spots. I never really got into retouching yet. Hope to get there soon. I upload the images, but the magnolia blossom is another version on MGV RC in 18x24cm, because the bigger print in 24x30cm does not fit on my scanner. It gives an idea about the subject.

Dear Frank, I already spotted them
I always have a 000-brush and some dry blots of Spotone at my desk. |

Hi Martin,
Thank you very much for these two very beautiful prints. Your intentions worked out exceptionally well. I really love this highly interesting depth from foreground to background, which is achieved by the high-key approach. I like both of them as they are. The rocks photo is also brilliant in portrait orientation. Best wishes, Frank |

And received today!
Richard sent me three beautifully sepia toned prints. The first was taken with a Balda Super Baldax and depicts a boat at the shoreline of the sea. The sun was placed just outside the frame, still making for a very bright (but not washed out) sky on the right-hand side. Very interesting! Printed borderless on Ilford Classic FB paper in square format, which suits this print well. Secondly, there's a large print of a mouse carved out of a wooden log. Also medium format, (an Ensign Autorange 645, which I'm not familiar with), focussed perfectly on the mouse's eye. It's printed on Art300 paper, which I find a really beautiful paper. If only it wasn't so darn expensive these days! The third print, a stunning seascape, was taken with a Canon A1 + 28mm Sigma lens and printed on Ilford Classic FB paper. It's a very dark and moody print. (and I really really am a big fan of those!) I think I like this photo the most, but the mouse has a very close 2nd place! It's interesting to see the Foma Sepia toner in action in this print exchange, as I have had a Foma kit in stock for almost a year now, but never got around to try it myself. Your prints are a good motivation to go ahead and try it myself! Thank you for these beautiful prints, all three are very much appreciated and I'm glad I can add them to my collection. |
