Thanks to Jonathon (Collodion ) for the cyanotype postcard received today. Along with a little descriptive note about the picture much appreciated.
I have some developing to do this weekend and hope to print mine then also.

I also received Jonathan's card and interesting notes.
What a wonderfully creative and tactile little card. Many thanks.

My handful of cards were posted out this evening, so hope they survive their various journeys.

I just dropped my cards off at the post office. Sorry, no bugs this time.

Just picked up your very nice non bug card today!
Thanks!

Got a minimalist card from Tony - just my sort of image. And a moon shot from Beck which is timely as I just took my first successful moon shot the other night when playing with my newly acquired 500mm mirror.

I just got you're very interesting card before I left town. Hopefully there's a stack of cards waiting for me when I get home.

Hey, just received a beautiful card from Manuel today, thanks!
I will not be able to send any cards before I get home in early August, I have no proper printing facilities here. But the first thing I have to do when I get back is to install a new power supply in my computer, the old one died just before I left. Luckily I had purchased a power supply with ten years warranty eight years ago, so I got my money back.

Received a nice card from Bryan today, great detail....Thanks!

Becky's wonderful shot of the moon came through my letterbox not long after Tony's mellow coastal pic, keeping up the high standard of cards that have graced the forum this and past years. So thanks to both of you.
I haven't managed to get my **** together plus it's incredibly hot in my loft at the moment but I will reciprocate with cards soon.

ManuelL · « **Reply #60 on:** July 17, 2022, 05:09:18 PM »

I already got some fantastic cards from Jonathan, Becky and Tony. I am really impressed by the Moon Image.
I have made my first attempts at using paper in camera and reverse developing, but the results were not great. Now I am motivated to try again.

I hope you do give it another try. Once you get the kinks ironed out it's quite an enjoyable endeavor and each little print is unique.
You might consider Harman paper as it is already reversed once you develop it and works well.
BTW- the tiny size prints are known as "artistamps". It's a technique that has been around for some time.
Good luck!

LEAFotography · « **Reply #62 on:** July 19, 2022, 11:34:42 AM »

Oh my goodness!

I returned home to an awesome foursome! Different dates by the spread of cards and bills

Thanks you:

Becky, I'm over the Moon with your positive image

so grateful for your care and effort!

Tony, fantastic, image of Margate!

Manuel, wonderful mist in the trees!

Jonathan - thank you, such a lovely cyanotype!

I definitely need to get make a move into making wet-prints...

Mine are printed, and stamped, sorting through addresses, and hopefully in the post by the end of the week!

astrobeck · « **Reply #63 on:** July 19, 2022, 07:27:09 PM »

another winning post card from Tony!
Thanks, I love all of the cards so far. Nice to get a little taste of far away lands...and seas.

kentish cob · « **Reply #64 on:** July 20, 2022, 06:55:48 PM »

Just got back from a mini break, forest camping... boy, it was hot in the tent but good to be "off-grid" for a few days.

Bryan's and Becky's cards arrived just as I was leaving, so I've only now been able to appreciate fully.
Thanks to both of you... Becky, going above and beyond and taking a giant leap for "filmwasterkind". I'm humbled by your creativity.

Kai-san · « **Reply #65 on:** July 21, 2022, 10:04:04 PM »

Three more cards have arrived; a beautiful cyanotype from Jonathan, a fine minimalist Margate from Tony and a lovely moon shot from Becky. Thanks to all!

Bryan · « **Reply #66 on:** July 21, 2022, 10:17:01 PM »

Just arrived back home to find two great cards from Kentish Cob and Manuel. I just wish the post office didn’t put a sticker across the bottom of Manuel’s card blocking part of the image.

Francois · « **Reply #67 on:** July 21, 2022, 10:30:56 PM »

Wow! That was a short trip for a change.

It was just a week to look at things, the real work will probably be in November. Considering it took me 27 hours and 4 flights to get there and 36 hours and another 4 flights to get home it was definitely too short.

Just received a nice card from Kentish Cob, Love the composition!!!

irv_b · « **Reply #70 on:** August 02, 2022, 07:19:20 PM »

Thanks Bryan I received your card a little while back. The Post office have had a good attempt at ruining it, by partly covering in inky wavy franking machine lines top and bottom.
I have printed, written and addressed my cards and hope to get to the post office tomorrow.

Kai-san · « **Reply #71 on:** August 02, 2022, 10:17:32 PM »

I just received a nice iris card from Bryan, same story as Irv reported with franking machine markings at the back. In addition some post office had covered up this with a yellow paper tape, luckily it came off without any damage.
Also received a beautiful card from Harvey, thanks!

Pete_R · « **Reply #72 on:** August 04, 2022, 03:42:46 PM »

My cards are done and ready to post.

I have lots left so if anyone else would like one just PM me your address. Not necessary to send one back.

Pete_R · « **Reply #73 on:** August 04, 2022, 03:50:30 PM »

"Filmwasters Control, we have a problem"

I got my list of names from Beck so Beck's address is missing off it. I forwarded it on to Harvey and Manuel so they are probably missing Beck too.

According to me, there should be eleven altogether so if you ain't got eleven, check with Irv.

Oops!

astrobeck · « **Reply #74 on:** August 05, 2022, 03:53:50 PM »

oops! Indeed!
I haven't received a card from Manuel and this is the reason and idn't even think about the way Irv had the addresses parsed when I sent you my list.
I Just sent my addy to Manuel and Harvey has had my address from other exchanges and I already got his very cool card!
Thanks!

Well I used to think that I was good at organising things

I need to pull my socks up by the look of things

There should be 11 cards to be sent out/ received, so if anyone is missing an address, let me know and I'll send the relevant details.

irv_b · « **Reply #76 on:** August 05, 2022, 07:48:25 PM »

Thanks to Andy for his card that arrived today, it is another of a very high standard in this years selection.

Bryan · « **Reply #77 on:** August 05, 2022, 08:42:36 PM »

I just got a cool one from Harvey. The post office must be loosing it's touch, it's completely undamaged, it was in an envelope though

kentish cob · « **Reply #78 on:** August 09, 2022, 11:31:17 PM »

Haven't logged in for a little while, so need to catch up with my "thank-yous"

Andy, Shaun, Irv and Pete... wonderful stuff received from all... thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you.

astrobeck · « **Reply #79 on:** August 10, 2022, 07:00:30 PM »

Lovely minimalist card from Lenore today!
It's super!
thanks so much

irv_b · « **Reply #80 on:** August 10, 2022, 09:37:42 PM »

My update is to thank Peter and to Andy for such great nature shots but both so different.

collodion · « **Reply #81 on:** August 10, 2022, 11:59:48 PM »

Hi all,
I received a few more ....

A contemplative skyward view from Shaun...arrived in perfect shape!!
A beautiful color postcard from Andy....love the muted colors!!
And lastly a calming minimalist shot from Leonore....so peaceful!!

Looking forward to the rest...Jonathan

Kai-san · « **Reply #82 on:** August 11, 2022, 06:42:26 PM »

So I'm ready to send the cards tomorrow, but I haven't got LEAFotograpy's address. I've sent a PM, but no response so far. Has anybody here got the address?

Leonore's arrive yesterday. Seems minimalism is in.

Also received from Irv, Bryan, Harvey and Andy.

Apologies if I've missed mentioning anyone but enjoying them all.

Kai-san · « **Reply #87 on:** August 16, 2022, 09:55:16 PM »

Just had a nice card from Kai. Reminds me of my one and only visit to Stavanger. Thanks Kai.

Just so no one thinks I've dropped off the face of the earth, my participation has been somewhat delayed, most specifically due to trying to get an office set up that includes my photo printer. Now that that's done, and the network is recognizing the printer, I can finally get around to running the prints and sending them out. Thanks for your patience, and for all the cards I've received from people better organized than I am.

Wow, that was quick, I mailed them on Friday morning! So there must be some mail services still functioning.

Two more cards received...a nice shot from Irv of Belle Tout and a cool Triptych from Peter.
Many thanks, the front of my fridge is filling up quite nicely

kentish cob · « **Reply #93 on:** August 19, 2022, 07:33:48 PM »

This week's post included cards from Leonore and Kai.
Two more different images you couldn't imagine, but both compositions equally intriguing.
Thank you both.

irv_b · « **Reply #94 on:** August 19, 2022, 08:52:10 PM »

I received cards from Leonore and Kai today also and Tony is correct in saying both are so intriguing - many thanks.

collodion · « **Reply #95 on:** August 26, 2022, 05:36:00 PM »

A wonderfully dark card received from Kai today, in perfect shape I might add.
Must have been flown in by aliens, as I know our postal system isn't capable of that sort of care.

Was it delivered by drone or UFO?

I received Leonore's card today, wonderful colours and perspective. Thanks!

My total so far are from:

Pete_R · « **Reply #99 on:** August 31, 2022, 05:44:43 PM »

Hmm? Not mine eh? I think Bryan said he's got mine so some made it across the water. If it doesn't arrive soon I'll put another in the post - I have plenty left over.
