I just received some Ilford postcard stock in the post yesterday! Never used it before but looking forward to trying it. Great to see another video from you, thanks for sharing!
Ahh, that's beautiful!!! Glad I found your channel. (I might envy you a bit for your unbelievably bright red lights. Greetings from the very dark RA-4 environment :)
Is it just me, or is Ilford postcard paper obnoxiously difficult to write on? I've tried all kinds of different pens and pencils, and the thick, waxy coating on the card stock seems to repel every kind of writing implement I try. Pencils can't penetrate the wax, ballpoint pens get gummed up and stop working, marker-type pens take forever to dry and even when they do they still smear easily. Has anybody found a pencil or pen that works well? I love the idea of putting my photos on postcards, but it kind of defeats the purpose if you can't write on the damn things.
Ey ya! I was wondering, I don't find any infos ...How do you straighten a picture in the enlarger? is that possible. I have to enlarge some pictures and unfortunately some of them are not straight .... if you have any tips i will be grateful! Thankx
I don't want to use the meter exclusively - especially for the postcard videos in hopes that myself and others can learn a more traditional approach to printing rather than relying on a gadget. I want the postcard printing sessions to be relaxed and fun, I'll use the meter on more technical session work.
Ah okay that makes a lot of sense. I guess it's only really worth using if you're working with a paper that's expensive enough that extra test strips are just money down the drain.
Got excited when I saw you posted again, wasn't disappointed!
christian berger he makes good videos well he used to make good videos. Life takes us all down a different path sometimes.
Oh yeah! Always a pleasure! Love your way of working! If u can, please share more often!
