Very nice image #1, it shows what pinhole can really do. No other lens could do that.
Your city's name eluded me, so I Googled, and I found, "Bathtub Racing Capital of the World".
Sounds like a fun place!
Beautiful choice of colors sly. Makes me want to do gum printing again after 15 years...
Thanks everyone. I'm quite happy with these. They were taken outside Victoria, at a B&B we stayed in for our 15th anniversary.
Nanaimo's great in many ways - lots of green spaces, access to mountains and the ocean. Big enough to be called a city, but small enough to get out of easily. There are 2 traffic lights in town where you might have to wait through 2 light changes during rush hour. I don't usually go down to the water for the bathtub races, but the silly boat race the week before is a hoot!
Sly, the images are really nice. How many layers? For gum, I prefer to scan the original negatives and print digital negatives for the actual printing process. If one does more than one layer, I find gum printing very destructive of negatives - the registration pinholes and tape residue are not kind to negatives.
These were 3 gum layers. I use the 8x10 negatives. Haven't wrecked one yet. (Knock on wood.) I mucked about for awhile with digital negatives, but what a pain! Computer problems, printer problems, ink problems, and the worst of all, USER problems. The only thing that has made me weep with rage, in the decades since I got over my ex's perfidy, has been the computer. I scan stuff to post, but leave digital processing to people who want to do it. I don't.
