Henri Cartier -Bresson didnt even use an exposure meter and drtew daily....mike thompson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Smith" <npg.wme@...> To: <DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 12:19 AM Subject: [Digital BW] New Member Intro Hi Folks, My name is Sean and I live in South Africa. I've been doing amateur photography since 2001 and greatly enjoy black & white photography. My twin daughters (aged 11) also both enjoy amateur photography although they only started a few months ago. For equipment I have a collection of 14 Russian SLR cameras dating from 1959 to 2005. Due to the high costs of developing and printing here I now only have my films developed and then scan the neg's into digital format using a Canon LIDE 80 scanner. For printing I use and Epson Photo R200 printer and for quick digital photo's I use a Canon Powershot A520 (although a Canon 350D is on my Christmas wish list). I'm looking to learn more from the group about the process of producing black & white images through digital format, and am keen to learn from other member experiences regarding inkjet printing of black & white images (inks, printers, scanning resolutions, etc). Cheers.

Still, Piezography's support is just as poor as it was 4 years ago. I used to make beautiful bw prints back than but when my 1280 died. I did not have the nerves to start the struggle with a new printer again. Now, many years ago I bought the N7 in bottles + the Niagara system for an Epson R1800. Guess what? I received 7 ink bottles for an 8 channnel printer with no hint (and no information ANYWHERE!!!!) as to what goes into the "gloss optimizer" channel. Could you help me?
