Just done a series of 16X12 prints for a friend on Ilford Gallerie Smooth Gloss. WOW. You could knock me down with a feather. The paper quality is superb and the pics GLOW. Apologies - I don't often use caps. It really is stunning stuff. Epson just lost a customer.
The Pearl is nice but not altogether my cup of teaearlgreyhot. At the weekend I was inspired by the wonderful autumn colours and wanted to do something about it. Last year I roamed Stowe House gardens in Bucks and did your usual landscapes of trees dripping with golden cover. This year I collected a couple of dozen leaves and selected 5 for photographing. I put each one in a glass sandwich with a sheet of white paper behind and backlit with a 650w Pulsar, shot using a macro. Later I arranged the 5 into a pattern and lost the background entirely so the leaves are sitting in white space. Printed large, with one big leaf in the middle surrounded by 4 others in various states of decay and associated colour, printed large - I was pleased at how I have managed after all this time to get the colour right. I can't fault it. Just proofreading all that, why don't I just post the jpeg! Late now but will sort it soon. Try a box of the Gallerie Smooth Gloss if you can.
