Yeah, so, I made these like a year ago... but our scanner was useless. When we got around to buying a new scanner, I was computerless, meaning no Photoshop (with no retouching, these pictures were very... gray... and bright...). Now I have both. So, here ya go.

Anyhoo, yeah. Ever try using the "Solarize" filter in Photoshop? Well, with traditional photography, you can solarize too... but unlike the Photoshop filter (which is unconfigurable), you can get wildly different effects by playing with exposure times (not only exposing the print under the enlarger, but also shining light on it while it's in the solarol). I made an example with the same shot solarized in 9 different ways, but I can't find it >_<

Anyhoo (yes, I said "anyhoo" again), here's some of the solarized prints I made. The originals are better though; solarol adds this cool silvering effect that the scanner doesn't pick up well :-\


Random lamp on a wall of a house near school. I didn't like it so much, but it got Print of the Week for our period :-\ (Weesner even named me the Solarol King!)


Random lamp in the driveway of a house a bit farther from school. (All four of these are shot in that general area; given that I had neither my own 35mm SLR camera nor transportation, I could only take shots during class... that's less than an hour to go out and get back.)


Random diamond-plated metal panel thingy in the sidewalk up the hill from school.. With a leaf to break up the pattern. Aww yeah. I rule, don't I? (This one's a bit weird; the print itself is boring, but it looks great as a desktop background!)


Random house near school. (Home to neither of the previously-mentioned lamps.) I love this one. Probably one of the better prints I've made. The only thing I don't like about it is the way the sun hits the three potted plants :-\

On the off chance you want one of these as wallpaper, just tell me the resolution you need. The originals are (about) 7800x5500, so there shouldn't be any problems resizing them

Yes, it is fun. I need to get a better camera though... I have a decent digital point-n-shoot, but I'd rather have an SLR :-\ Went out to the snow today with some friends, one of whom owns a digital SLR... I got to play with it a bit and it was freakin' amazing. Full control, no shutter lag... bleh. Too bad they start at $600 or $700. I'd be fine even with a 35 mm SLR; my scanner has an adapter for negatives... but still... point-n-shoot just doesn't cut it.

And post your pictures or I will slap you

Thankies

Gracias on the comment. And yeah, I know it's an edit. But according to the forums, he typed it, not you, truth be damned!
