Photoplay
I recently did a photo shoot at a church and I liked this shot of a large marble sculpture of Jesus of Nazareth so much that I decided to play with it. It's original is a black and white printed on 8x10 pearl paper. I decided to have a little darkroom fun and 'solarized' it... that is, dabbled in developer, water and high contrast... and the outcome was such that I wanted to share it. It was so much fun to make!
I hope you like it as much as I do!

Great photo! I haven't dabbled in a dark room for years, although I'm still an avid photographer -- just more digital these days.

Neat image.
C'mon over to the blog party and say hello!
Thanks for coming when you have.
I wish I had a clue how to dabble like that. Very interesting effect.
That's beautiful, haunting.
Oh wow, Scarlett, that's exquisite, an incredibly evocative photo. I love it!
Christina,
Everyone is digital (even me)... but oh the fun that can be had when one plays in a dark room!
Pearl,
Thanks!
Happy blog birthday!
Molly,
I *LOVED* learning how to do it. Now I have to buy stock in the Ilford photo paper company because I'll be playing a LOT.
Kat,

Vanilla,
