Welcome to the group, glad to see another from this part of the world.

There's a place in western Turkey I drove past in a bus which just cried out to be photographed, unfortunately I was unable to stop, and it was the wrong time of day anyway. It was on a trip between Marmaris and Ephesus, and the guide told me the name of the place was "Gokbel". There's nothing there...

Just skimmed through the OP Christmas Special, found no less than 3 separate articles featuring exclusively large format ( 5x4 ) images, one of which was by a member here, Richard Childs from Oban. Perhaps Richard could let us know the score RE: submitting.

Sounds like a great idea for a project, and I'd certainly be interested in participating, work permitting of course. I'm a little surprised by Charles' comments RE: Outdoor Photography. Almost every issue of OP seems to have some photos published that came from a large format camera, and as a result...

There's quite a few, there's "windmills" in the area, a lot are actually pumps, but hey..

There's Horsey, the oft photographed Cley Mill, Thurne, Oby ( sadly no sails anymore ), Turf Fen, those are just a few on the broads. Windmills all over the county really.

A very Merry Christmas to all, and a productive and inspirational New Year as well.

Best Wishes

Another enjoyable read Michael, I especially enjoyed the real-life print comparison test you ran. Looking forward to issue three.

I'm quite surprised anybody has any left to be honest. When I bought some from Robert White a couple of months back, they had about 10 boxes left after my order. I'm definitely surprised someone like 7dayshop has any. Maybe I could get a few more boxes.

It's a commodity item. Robert White et al don't have stock anymore as far as I know. When you can't get it anymore, that makes it worth more. Pretty standard with everything, just the same old supply/demand thing. I have 150 sheets in the freezer, and they're staying there, bought mine when the buyi...

I have not used Kami or others but I believe they leave a residue? The Lumina evaporates when left to dry in around 30 mins, leaving the film dry and clean The Kami doesn't leave any residue as far as I could tell, all the pro scanning studios swear by it, so it's good enough for me. I think it's p...

I'm just about to put my 4990 on ebay. Have you got the V750 now?. I have the Epson FMA for the V750, but haven't used it yet. I don't have a V750 yet, no. How long did your FMA take to arrive from Epson after registering for it? I was going to order some Lumina fluid from ScanScience, as I heard t...

Just thought I'd mention I've put a couple of bits up on Ebay if anyone's interested.

Epson 4990 scanner + ICC profiles ( item no. 290057970494 )

Gretag Macbeth Eye-One Photo spectrophotometer bundle ( item no. 290058007931 )

Coming soon, a Cambo SC large format monorail.

Welcome Brian,

My pics... well, I got six beautifully exposed and thoroughly un-inspiring images from that evening oh well, live and learn. But it was a beautiful sunset

Actually, I really like the idea of the woolly hat with the logo on, now that would be useful

Cambridgeshire is very nice, Cambridge itself is very pretty, lots of architecture in the city with the old colleges and churches etc. Also you have the river Cam ( and punts ) as a subject, and the Bridge of Sighs, the Mathmatician's Bridge(?) too. Some cracking pubs around for a bit of grub as wel...
