I arrived back home from a short break yesterday and your print was waiting for me, Fran.

It's different, that's for sure! Taken on a Holga, Rollei IR film/red filter in Highgate Cemetery. You mentioned that it was challenging to get the contrast how you wanted it - it looks great to my eyes! A striking print, very nice indeed.

Like it a lot Mitch, as it's the type of picture that I like and would take myself.

It's been taken with a Zero pinhole camera, giving a 6 x 4.5 negative, of as Mitch puts it, '...a sowing machine sun bathing in the garden.'

It's then been printed with some good darker tones around the outside of the print, which complement the lighter ones in the centre of the image.

The print is on Ilford RC multigrade matt, a surface that I really like, but then again not so popular with others as gloss and pearl are for some reason...?

Thanks again Mitch, it has put a thought in my head to get out with one or two of my pinhole cameras when the sun comes out this week.

PS Forgot to say that it's a good feeling, for me anyway, to see these A4 board backed envelopes being reused, again and again. So far it looks like at least two users and I'm going to make it a third time. Any advance on this from anyone?

Another bonus is that my post office / postie is a bit lax in stamping the stamps on these bigger envelopes, so I get to 'reuse' the unused / unfranked stamp, as I have done with many others in the past with no problems. Great start to the day!

Thanks Terry I'm pleased you like the photograph it was part of a set where the old sowing machine played a central roll

I had noted that several others had re-used the envelop so thought I should do so only I was wondering if at some point it would come back again from a different contributor.

Tut, tut reusing stamps

Although I don't recommend anyone else doing it, , I feel just in doing so as I still have my Royal Mail shares from the sell off, so I am only denting my own dividends... or so I keep telling myself...

Thank you Mike, it arrived at the weekend. A stunning image of a rock formation in the sea off the isles of Scilly. Your low viewpoint and strong contrast add further to the drama in this print.

And arrived yesterday. A print of Tobermory Lighthouse on Mull that really puts it into context with the hills of Ardnamurchan in the background. Just my kind of picture!

I have never been to the North end of Mull, so that I now know what I have missed. I have explored some of the coast and islands at the S. end of the Island. I know the Ardnamurchan Peninsular better having been there on a number of occasions both as a student, many moons ago, and subsequently with family.
Thanks, Mike

Thanks Mike. I'm glad you liked it. I've been visiting Ardnamurchan regularly since childhood in the early '70s. My older brother now works as a Postman there, and my younger brother as an electrician. It must be great to work in such a scenic area.
You should visit Tobermory which is a really vibrant, and historic town. We were visiting my son who works as a chef in the restaurant in the old pier building. The lighthouse is a short walk from the town, but anyone going be warned, the path is under renovation and very muddy at the moment.

Just a reminder, all prints for Round 94 should be in the post by Thursday, according to my records there are still two to go.
