The TPF Print Exchange Extravaganza!

oriecat · Jul 21, 2004

Got Havoc's prints yesterday, I will get everything mailed out today! Thank you all for your patience and for participating.

Ok, all prints ready for shipping as I type.

A couple things, we had some unsigned prints soooo...
the small b/w unsigned is Bob McBob
the 8x10 color unsigned is aggiezach
and Havoc actually sent us two each, so his are the two b/w unsigned, should be on top of the pile since they came in last, one almost square, one thin & long

So whens the next one for all us late comers

Soon hopefully as I wanted to get in on the fun too. Was waiting until someone either wanted to start another one or I'll start/run one myself but wanted to see how the current one goes first. Doing the math I was thinking one group of 6 (5 images each) to keep the overhead down a bit. Theme wise, keep it simple and just submit your best 8X10 (approx) at the moment whether it be color or B&W.

Any takers? Would get it going as soon as the current one completes itself. I've got a couple of ideas as well about getting the images back to everyone in cardboard photo envelopes without everyone having to send a postage pre-paid envelope. Everyone have a Pay-Pal account? That would make it really easy even with exchange rates outside the US so we could go global.

I'm still brainstorming it but I'm game to run one.............

pm me if your interested as I don't wan't to mess up the flow oriecat has going on here. Then we'll start our own sticky thread.

Dammit, i knew i forgot something. signing them. Yeah i felt bad about being late and i had a bunch of the second one so i included them. If i remember right i included a picture of a local spot for Orie as well. I hope i am reembering right. The last few days have been a total blur.

Im interested but kinda holding back due to the money, got 4 college classes to pay for soon.

Just a couple questions, what sort of pictures are ok to submit? I assume photo's that have barely been manipulated, just levels, etc? Nothing to heavy with photoshop?

And instead of limiting it to 6 people, why not take as many people as you can, and then group them into 6. Either first come, first serve, people get put into groups that way, or after all the names are in, you group them up after. Then one group would have more or less than 6 so everyone is involved? this way you dont have to wait for everyone to submit thier picture to send them out, cuz as soon as each group has thier pictures in they cn go out. Just a thought.

And where do you get the carboard photo envelopes? And how much are they? :0)

The paypal is a good idea, assuming each person has it. I wonder how much this would come to? Perhaps the one that ran the last one can give us an idea?

Malachite, you are welcome to steal my thread here, I'm all done now!

We had a group of 9, so eight prints being mailed, and the postage was $1.98, or $2.10 to Canada, except for those who chose Priority Mail, so then it was $3.85.

If theres more people than Malachite can handle Id be willing to pick up the slack....if theres any interest in another print exchange.

I too, would love to help. I'd also like to be apart of the next one. Now that I've got my dark room setup I can print my own photos and send in a better submission!

malachite · Jul 23, 2004

My goal was to cater to the people who can't afford to print 10+ pictures. Keeping it at 5 seemed resonable if you're wanting to send quaility stuff direct from slide or something that can start to get pricey for quality.

I'll be putting something together this weekend and posting it up prolly Sunday to kick this one off.

ksmattfish · Jul 23, 2004

I just got my package! Excellent job everybody, these are some really nice photos!!

drlynn · Jul 24, 2004

OK, since they're out there now, I guess I should explain mine.

My shot is actually 24 separate exposures, stitched together. I intentionally left the overlaps/edges visible to give it a "mosaic" look.

As I said earlier, I was pretty happy with the shot, until I saw it printed, but by then I didn't have time to do anything else (or so I thought

).
