Tiny Update

First, Ctein's regular Wednesday column will appear tomorrow—late for obvious reasons. This week he'll talk about printing "Castle Eilean Donan" from yesterday's Print Offer.

Speaking of which, Ctein tells me that all the order confirmations have been sent. If you emailed an order during the sale period yesterday but haven't gotten a confirmation from him yet, he asks you to contact him immediately at ctein@pobox.com.

Thanks again to everyone who participated. Yesterday was an exciting day!

(Oh, and remember my promise: the next sale—of three of my own pics, all by popular demand from TOP posts and camera reviews [including the mysteriously popular scarecrow], printed by Ctein—will be a two-digit sale, with no print over $99. That will be including shipping. I ain't forgot you, my brothers and sisters with the skinnier wallets*.)

Dear Mike,

The scarecrow makes me laugh. Art that makes me laugh is worth a whole lot more to me than, well... a lot of things!

I think it's gonna be a big winner.

Sign me up for the scarecrow, I haven't even seen the image but I know I want it.

So now we get to see you critiqued along with other great photographers on the internet.

I hope there's a chance that the niagara falls photograph will be offered as a digital print now that I've missed the chance for a dye transfer - it's stunning, and given that my gf is canadian, I even have a somewhat reasonable argument for getting it...

Shouldn't that be "Ctein-y Update"?

[ctein]

Dear G.,

I've never tried printing that negative digitally, but it's a photograph that *should* print well that way.

I was going to go into detail why that's the case in this comment, but then I realized there's my topic for next week's column [lazy smile].

Anyway, yes, some negatives lend themselves to digital printing and some don't, and this is one that should. But the proof will be in the printing.

Keep your fingers crossed.
