And the envelope has just been received Graeme.
Following an apparent trend, Graeme has sent to me a lovely hand written letter, which is much more readable than my hand writing, so thanks for that Graeme, but I don't see myself joining in with this... He has also sent to me two interesting prints of a landscape that looks interesting to explore, for those of us still able. The two prints are from the same negative, but on one he has tried darkening the sky, which in turn, for whatever reason produces an obvious stain on the print. I too had this in the past Graeme, and it turned out to be a limescale deposit on the shiny side of the negative, which as with you, only became obvious when I tried darkening an area. Breathing on it and then a gentle wipe, removed it in my case and a good print was made. And one other small thing, if I may point out, which is stopping the print from being even better, is that there seems to be a very light grey veil over the whole print, with it being most noticeable in the borders, which should be pure white, but are near an 18% grey card. Interestingly it is not so obvious on the print with the stain in the sky. It would well be worth checking your safe-light in the first instance. So, thanks for the prints and I hope you get these two small issues sorted out. Terry S |

If all okay, I'd then look at the safe-light and do a paper test - with paper from a different box, just to be safe. After just a year, unless the paper has been stored REALLY badly, the last sheets in the box should be as good as the first. And many thanks for the offer of a fresh print. It will be both good and interesting to compare the ones already sent with a newer one. Terry S |

Hi Marty your photograph has arrived safe and well.
It is of a world war one look out tower on the isle of Bressay Shetland. The picture has a presents to it that I really like your symmetrical composition adds to it. It has a slight warmth to it which belies the coldness of the day in was made.
