Weekend
[posted at 11:23 GMT]    

I didn't make any note in my journal this weekend and it wasn't because I did nothing ;-) Just opposite. I have matted the print of baby portrait I did Friday and get paid for it.
As you see those last three prints I made a little experiments with them. sunny doorway and rabbit's house I have printed using carbon ink only. This gave them slightly warm tone which nicely fit with light in those two pictures. What I have also try was again print on Ilford Smooth Pearl paper. Print has a quite bronzing in it so I spray it with three layers of protective spray. It looks better now but paper have bit raw feel in hands. I need to find different way to do this coatings or just keep mate papers only, for the moment.
I also refine my backup strategy and I hope it will work better than previous on demand backup which was ok until something terrible doesn't happen. I have also develop next four rolls and it seems some nice shots will be there.
As a last I am experimenting with bigger prints. Even I can't make bigger than A4 size on my printer currently I can stitch them together under glass. I have place for five big (up to A2) format in my living room. So I am doing those prints and will see how do they look on wall.
So far for now...
