We'll do this just like the first time, with the deadlines stated below.

Postcards can be printed in the wet darkroom on any paper to 6x4" or 5x7" etc.. with a sticker (or not) on the back turned into a postcard with address, stamp etc...

Hybrid can be scanned negs and printed with inkjet / pigment inks, on papers such as fine art, etc... your choice - just turn the back into a postcard and send off via snail mail.

I am happy to get the ball rolling this second go round so PM me your snail mail info and we'll get this one going right away.

Send your snail mail address to: astrobeck (at) gmail (dot) com

and I'll sort it all and post the names and addresses like Nicole did.

Deadline for signing up is Feb. 28.

Deadline for sending cards out will be end of March.

No particular theme.

*** Preferably you will have a different photo to send if you participated the first time so there will not be any duplicates sent.

I am sending my postal address to you right now!

Skorj · « **Reply #6 on:** February 18, 2009, 08:23:44 AM »

Mine is on the way. ありがとう！Skj.

tijeras · « **Reply #7 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:36:56 PM »

woo-hoo!

We have 12 signed up thus far. If the group gets overly large, I'll divvy it up into smaller lots (about 10 each) so everyone won't go broke mailing their cards.

rdbkorn · « **Reply #8 on:** February 18, 2009, 09:23:38 PM »

Just sent my address in!

I hope we will agree to a full exchange, rather than split into groups.

Nigel · « **Reply #9 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:50:31 PM »

As I'm going to have to use an online service to print my cards I wondered if anyone in the UK has any recommendations for a service they've used and are happy with?

Nigel

Ailsa · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2009, 12:14:00 PM »

Definitely in, as I've finally joined a darkroom - woo-hoo!

quoop were ok, BUT , my upload clearly showed a border in the version you have to check that wasn't present in the final printed version. so if a border is important, leave a little extra for the unexpected crop!!

rolo · « **Reply #12 on:** February 23, 2009, 05:53:40 AM »

If I sign up, is it OK to print with my little Canon dye sub printer? The nice, shiny prints come out with postcard backs.

Yes, you can participate since what you are asking about falls under the "hybrid" type of card.
Here's a cut and pasted line from the original instructions.

"Hybrid can be scanned negs and printed with inkjet / pigment inks, on papers such as fine art, etc... your choice - just turn the back into a postcard and send off via snail mail."

PM me your address and I'll add you to the list.

astrobeck (at) gmail (dot) com

We'll wrap up the sign up Feb. 28 and I'll post a list of names/addresses for the exchange March 1.

There are 14 FWasters on the list so far!!!

Karl · « **Reply #14 on:** February 24, 2009, 11:05:56 AM »

count me in. I need something to aim for or work will consume me!

roryot · « **Reply #15 on:** February 24, 2009, 02:11:14 PM »

I'm up for it again. Will use FB paper this time, as writing on the back of plastic paper caused me problems last time!

tijeras · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2009, 06:38:21 AM »

Just a gentle reminder that the deadline for signing up for the
fantabulous Filmwaster's postcard exchange round two is Saturday.

If you want to participate, send me via PM your name and mailing info.

Hi all,

Everyone should have a PM with the list of names and addresses for round 2 of the FW postcard exchange.

If you didn't get a message, check your inbox here at FW, and also your private e-mail if it was furnished to me for the list of names.

Please let me know if you did not get your list.

Instructions are like the first round. Post cards should be mailed out no later than March 31.

Have fun and enjoy the cards that will soon be arrivng in your mailboxes!

Becky

Skorj · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2009, 10:30:43 PM »

Got the PM thanks. Printed, stamped, and sent today. Thanks as always! Skj.

Ailsa · « **Reply #24 on:** March 02, 2009, 04:29:19 PM »

Posted mine today. Apologies in advance for the rather ad hoc, multiple-sticker approach to stiffening them!

LT · « **Reply #25 on:** March 03, 2009, 04:28:57 PM »

that Ailsa - she works fast. I got my postcard today - really nice, thanks Ailsa.

Stu · « **Reply #26 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:28:43 AM »

Got mine from Ailsa too. Thank you Ailsa, lovely print. Why don't my Holga photos look that nice? - I blame the camera, (yes, that must be it!)

Thanks Leon and Stu.

And I'll come clean Stu - I've only ever taken about three successful pictures with my Holga, of which this is one.

Andrea. · « **Reply #28 on:** March 04, 2009, 09:56:09 AM »

Are these images in one of the galleries somewhere please?

Karl · « **Reply #29 on:** March 04, 2009, 02:00:16 PM »

Lovely pic Ailsa, thanks, and a wake up call for me to get started too - super speedy!

pdewolff · « **Reply #33 on:** March 04, 2009, 04:12:12 PM »

Ailsa"s in the Pbox today, a very nice one, wish my Holga had results like this....thanks a lot. Mine going out this morning.

roryot · « **Reply #34 on:** March 04, 2009, 04:35:03 PM »

uh oh! They've started arriving, and I haven't even thought about printing yet! Received a lovely card from Ailsa today. It's fantastic. Thanks!

Nigel · « **Reply #35 on:** March 04, 2009, 07:49:08 PM »

Both Ailsa and Skorj's cards have arrived today and I'm feeling doubly under pressure. Firstly they're really quick and even more importantly they're really good! Thanks for the lovely cards guys.

The pressure's on ....

rolo · « **Reply #36 on:** March 05, 2009, 04:51:26 AM »

Mine are all printed. I'll be addressing and mailing over the next couple of days.

Nigel · « **Reply #37 on:** March 05, 2009, 08:21:18 PM »

OK, I've ordered my cards.

I've had to do the Qoop thing so i hope they're OK. Then when i clicked 'order' it said they're going to take up to 14 days to arrive!

Still, I should be within the deadline.

Hi Nigel,
I've ordered from QOOP in the past and the cards arrived within the week. This may just be their way of playing it safe.

rdbkorn · « **Reply #39 on:** March 06, 2009, 05:11:25 AM »

moominsean · « **Reply #40 on:** March 06, 2009, 11:10:10 PM »

got mine from qoop today, much darker than i would have liked, but will send out next week!

roryot · « **Reply #41 on:** March 09, 2009, 12:52:55 PM »

Received a great one from Skorj on Friday - thanks, love it!

Still deciding on what to print.... they'll all be done in one go sometime in the next week or so!

Ailsa · « **Reply #42 on:** March 09, 2009, 03:25:39 PM »

Thanks to Becky (Tijeras) for a lovely postcard!

Stu · « **Reply #43 on:** March 09, 2009, 04:39:25 PM »

Thanks to Becky (Tijeras) from me too! Very tastey, lovely colours.

artpunk · « **Reply #44 on:** March 09, 2009, 09:37:29 PM »

Oh I'm sorry, I've been so busy I missed this thread (missed the whole forum actually!) I was all set to sign up for this round too but am about 11 days too late! I have postcards already to go so if you don't mind me joining in at a late stage would it be OK? I understand if people don't have enough postcards made up for one extra, but I'd like to share mine with the list at least...(sorry again)

tijeras · « **Reply #45 on:** March 09, 2009, 10:43:04 PM »

I've sent Cameron the list of names.
As he stated he wants to share his cards ....his generosity is very welcome!!!!

tijeras · « **Reply #46 on:** March 09, 2009, 10:44:56 PM »

Jackpot at the post box today!

Lovely scenes from Ailsa, Skorj, Piet, and Rolo.

All extremely nice.

pdewolff · « **Reply #47 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:22:52 AM »

Thanks Skorj and Becky, very nice to have these different and inspiring postcards hanging in my office ( have to make a larger "notes"-board..... )

Ailsa · « **Reply #48 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:24:37 AM »

Cameron, if you PM me your address, I have a spare card I can send you.

pdewolff · « **Reply #49 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:36:14 AM »
