Thanks @all! Here's another one.

Conrad, what does POV mean? This is my first time writing in an international forum...

Excellent series and let me answer on Conrad's behalf since he seems to be busy.

 

POV = Point Of View

Ah, "point of view". Now I got it. Thanx! Some more? I've got another 20 silver gelatine prints lying in front of me ;-)

Haha, relax, I don't intend to show them all. Best regards, Dirk

Those prints are awfull nice! You made me just give up a little my decision about giving up ever having a darkroom again.

 

Do you do a lot of tweaking (adjusting, tricks and magic wonders) when printing them or is is straight forward. And what scanner do you use (when scanning to the forum).

 

And the enlarger/lens?

Thanks, Roodolph (hehe, internäsch'n'l phorum, ätsh) og Thomas.

Thomas, you`re right, darkroom really sucks. I'm definitely not that printing guy. I love snapping, but I nearly hate to print them. Most times I´m afraid of doing the stuff, because it means a lot of f***in Work. And this silver gelatine stuff darkens after you've done it. Don't know, how much went into the bin, but I kept roundabout 50. So, I'm a bloody beginner. Not much magic here, this stuff would work as a negative raw scan also. I do a shadow with my hands on the darkest parts for a few seconds, that's it.

And now for my big "butt" (sorry for the second t, I love shallow jokes): There's absolutely nothing in photograpy like touching your own, non-machine-made-100%-self-energetic print. Please simply forget that automatic PE thang from your local dealer. You did it once with your own hands - you're hooked.

Imagine this, it's museum weight paper, not plastic :-)

Sorry, comrade Admin, taken with a Kodak Easy Share from my flat mate. Lended the D2 to my ex-girlfriend for a shooting. Peace?

Print looks much better. Ok, granted, that's what they all say ;-)

 

Edit: ah, scanner. Big Satanic Canon 4200F. But that don't mean a thang. My home monitor is a quiz, and I'm colourblind. No joke. My latest post looks terrible on the monitor at my working place.
