Twitter tells me that Vicky uses Moo.

God, I'm so in the loop!

I've used Moo, very good quality. I'm stuck with either a square within the rectangle or using the whole rectangle which would amount to a crop of the photo - I have been pondering this for weeks!

Decision time I guess!

phil, i use moo.
they're a nice quality but they're still the regular rectangle so i guess you crop the picture (which is what i mostly do) or edit it so it fits as a square.

I have used them before and like you say you just have to crop, which can still look pretty good!

Decision made.

2nd page thing always catches me out, especially if I have had a glass of wine :-[

Are we having a seperate cards received thread or shall we carry on here? I've just got my card off Piet -thanks Piet - good choice.

Mine are ready to go.

You all get a big A+..so far ahead of me! Moo sounds like a great idea! was wondering about the quality but sounds like a resounding "yes"....

I sent my print order off today so should have them back in a few days. I'll need to do a bit of customization work before they're ready to send as they're not really postcards at the moment. It's a huge gamble on my part...I just hope you'll all be along for the journey  ;)

Not, really...I'm just being a cheapskate.

I hadn't noticed the stamp. That's a nice touch! The card is certainly a keeper.

Piet, Vicky & Becky R so far. Excellent stuff; they've all gone straight into the photo album. My postcards are still not back from the printer, but am expecting to get them sent this week....although that is brave talk, so temper it with the usual dose of expected disappointment at my tardiness.

Many thanks for the great cards I've received from Piet, Peter R, Becky, Vicky and Damian.

Haven't got around to printing mine yet, I've been really busy at work, but hope to do them in the next week.

Cheers

Wow, so the postcard took only two days. I hope you like it even though it's not as good as a 'real' (i.e. inkjet) print.

I'm being a bit lax in reporting receipts so, so far I've had cards from Piet, Becky, Vicky, Carol, Damion, Otto and Urban. And they're all great.  Thanks to everyone.

First batch mailed last week, last six just addressed now.

Wonderful cards received so far from Peter R., Otto K., Piet, Becky, Carol, and Vicky.  Love 'em.  Thanks!

I'm eager to go to the P.O. to see what's waiting for me today.

I've been receiving some great images!  Well I guess it will be off to the darkroom pretty soon to do mine.  Moo seems expensive and who knows how long it will take to get them up into Canada.  I can't seem to find out if there is anyone local that does postcards.

I have a bunch of Ilford b&w postcard stock tucked away in the darkroom somewhere, now to find it.

OK folks, so far I have received:

Peter Gentleman in Paris. Very nice, glad you choose to do the card in black and white, very fitting for the image.
Urban Cool scooter shot. Funny, when I first received the card I was looking at it horizontally and couldn't for the life of me figure out what the heck it was. Finally turned it vertical, was just like turning on a light.
Vicki I like the shot a lot, look like you use the difficulty in focusing to good effect. I like the colors and the way the flowers glow.
Carol Fun, fun, fun. A big crab on top of building is always a hit.
Damion This shot is gorgeous, the colors are fantastic, and the little car really make it.
Rob Another fun shot, I have a weakness for old travel trailer especially when they are mount on top of big signs.
Otto Wow, Ultra Wide and Slim = ultra cool. Very interesting photo. I'd be interested to know more about the cross processing.
Becky Pinhole Polariod, very nice. Gives a nice softness to the tulips.
Piet A intriguing photograph, nice abstract quality, looked at it quite a bit before I saw the running figure. Good job.

Well I'm making progress on my postcard, I have about half of them printed. I'm going through a variety of paper using up odds and ends of fiber based paper I have lying around. Figured that would be a little more interesting than using the regular Ilford postcard paper or printing out inkjet card like I have done in the past. Hope to print the rest some time this weekend.
