neurocat 0 Posted October 27, 2002 Exposed in an 8X10 pinhole camera on Ilfobrome paper. The paper negative was developed in Solarol and flashed with light about halfway through. The solarization reversed most of the paper negative to make a unique, original positive. Link to comment
maria_s. 1 Posted October 27, 2002 Interesting ... I think you got a great solarization effect but I wonder why pinhole gave you only a slight distortion here ... I comitted a few pinhole shots myself (I am not by any chance an expert) but my prints were incredibly distorted -- I loved that effect. I had no idea that a developer designed specifically for solarization exists -- I remember I just diluted my developer and used a stop bath in between. Anyway, you got a strong Halloween looking image here! Link to comment
neurocat 0 Posted October 28, 2002 Thanks for your comments. There is no distortion because I used a flat film plane. The pinhole itself distorts less than a lens. As far as developers that solarize well, Edwin Buffaloe's site, http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Solarization/solarization.html, lists good developers, homebrews and papers and provides solarization history, chemistry and excellent instructions.
