Solarization or the Sabattier Effect is the process of re-exposing photographic paper during the development process. The result is an eerie silver image that contains light lines between the shadows and the highlighted areas. In this case I just slid the Dehaze slider down to the hazy end in Adobe Raw Convertor. It works most on the dark branches and makes the Spring green new leaves just a little hazy. Thanks if you have the time for a comment.
There once was a bear
kind of polar
who was powered up largely
by solar.
If the truth would be tol'
she wished to see the South Pole
So then people could call her
bipolar.
Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park at sunrise. Just one of many iconic locations shot on western road trip with Kevin Benedict. Mesa was one of my favorites, and it's as close to a sure-fire bet that you will get an interesting shot as you will find outdoors. There were not too many people there that morning, which meant everyone had time to move around and try different angles. The nice thing about Mesa is that you have a pretty good time window for composing sunrise shots. Note that the sunburst here is above the horizon, with the sun coming through the underside of the arch. The best reflected light on the underside of the arch comes a bit after sunrise.The temperature was perfect in the early morning making for a nice relaxing time to set up and concentrate on executing the shot.
Taken with my trusty Pentax 12-24mm, which has a simple starburst pattern but which can shoot in to direct sun pretty reliably. I also had my Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 which has a beautiful starburst pattern, but it doesn't shoot in to the sun very well and the results were pretty messy.
This is a very large species, growing to at least 140 mm. Phyllodesmium longicirrum contains photosynthetic zooxanthellae, which allow it to draw energy from sunlight, hence its common name, the solar-powered phyllodesmium.[3] This is actually a misleading name, as several other species of Phyllodesmium are also capable of photosynthesis, although this is developed to the greatest extreme in this species.Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Neston Marsh
7 mile bike ride to the marsh and i arrived just after sunrise but the light was crap. Not a wasted journey though, great place to fly the drone! About an hour after sunrise the sun started to rise behind the low clouds and you could see a halo starting to appear.
On January 22, solar reports warned of high solar activity with the presence of two important active regions associated with class M solar flares (www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html). In the image on the left you can see the configuration of the active regions on the Sun's disk. Active region 3559 (detail on the right, left in the complete image of the Sun), had rapid growth and crossed the solar disk in the course of the week. On January 23, this active region and 3561 (on the right in the image of the solar disk separated by around 500,000 km), erupted simultaneously, generating a "sympathetic solar flare", produced by a physical connection between both active regions, which caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia and Indonesia (www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=23&mo...). The large active region 3559 had a "beta-gamma" class magnetic field and more than thirty sunspots, while 3561 evolved over the course of the week reaching about 100,000 km wide and twenty dark cores.
Details associated with the day of capture: www.spaceweatherlive.com/es/archivo/2024/01/22/dayobs.html
The image of the entire disk on the left was taken with a "Meade" 80/400 refractor telescope and the detail on the right, with an "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. In both cases a "Meade" 575 white light filter was used (remember not to expose your eyes to the Sun or photographic equipment without the appropriate filters), a Player One Neptune-M camera and a Player One IR685 filter.

4x5 negative contact printed on 5x7 Ilford MGFB Classic photographic paper. Ilford MG developer at usual concentration of 1:9.
Initial exposure for 7 secs (one second underexposed) with burning of center for one second. Development for 25 secs - 10 second water bath - re-exposure to light for two seconds - then development continued for 95 additional seconds. Stop, Fix, and Wash.
The finished print was photographed with the Nikon D850 and Nikkor 105mm/2.8D Macro lens. The WB was checked with a gray card, and there was no B&W conversion. There are minor adjustments to the Black and White points - otherwise, no global changes to contrast were made, and there was no local dodging and burning.
Solarization, as rediscovered and practiced by Man Ray and Lee Miller, is a technique in which the partially developed positive image is briefly re-exposed to light, leading to interesting effects which include a partial reversal of tonality, particularly in the light tones (which contain less exposed silver halide.) Strong black or white "Mackie" lines may occur at borders between areas of high contrast.
The Sabattier effect, discovered in 1862, is similar but is said to have been produced in photo prints only partially developed, as opposed to the full development practiced by Man Ray. Solarization of negative film is a somewhat different process in which very long exposures lead to complete tone reversal.
This project (and it was a project...) arose from a discussion at the Brooklin, Maine Camera Club. Thanks to Stephen Greenberg and Russell Kaye.
The sun burst in through the windshield.
Blinding in its beauty as it danced across the dashboard.
Brilliant colors and streaks throughout the vehicle as it played leap frog with the dust and dirt on the glass.
So much beauty in a simple drive through town.
Things we miss as we stop looking around.
Slowing down enjoying the moment.
No longer worried about where ones going
or when to get there.
Beautiful.

Sept 4, 2017 - very active sun. Captured with Lunt Solar 50THa telescope, QHY5-III 178 CCD camera in video mode, and iOptron iEQ30 mount. Processed with AutoStakkert 3.
I finally got around to processing this. I was dreading having to use RegiStax. Decided to search the web to see if anything better existed, and discovered AutoStakkert. Runs so much faster. It also stacks and aligns so much better.
While exploring Windsor, Ontario’s Malden Park one early morning I discovered this antenna on the top of the hill in the park. Not exactly sure what it’s purpose is, but I was intrigued by it, especially when I saw the solar panel at the base that provides it with power from the sun.
The Solar Corona - The white rays are the solar corona which are the outer part of the suns atmosphere which extends millions of kilometers into outer space and is most easily seen during an eclipse.
This is part of two solar arrays above the neighboring Glen Ivy Spiritual Center, making them the largest private solar energy source in Riverside County..

This is a project launched for Bristol's year as European Green Capital. So far I have shown you the Fog Bridge, the Boats in the Woods and now a tree made of solar panels. It's all happening here!
The Energy Tree is a community-led, public art installation and renewable power source designed to engage the public in energy issues. Volunteers from the Bristol Drugs Project, who completed a programme with project-lead Demand Energy Equality, built the solar panel 'leaves' for the tree from scratch and worked with Bristol-based artist John Packer on the metal sculptural work for the tree's structure. It'll also provide free on-the-go phone charging and WIFI.
It is situated in Millennium Square, right next to the Planetarium which makes a great background for this futuristic piece of art!
Accidental solarization from circa 1972. Rolleiflex TLR. Taken in Pound Ridge Reservation, New York. Scan of a print.
the spider who has built the giant web across
our patio door, has given up her web design
practice, too cold and windy, but she still is
hanging around on the frame. Today I took a
few portraits of her with my phone. They were
pretty blah so I decided to solarize them.
Right now we are experiencing heavy rainfall,
Ross had to bring out the pump to keep the patio
from flooding, so the patio door was opened
many times, but she is hunkered down on
the window frame, out of harm's way.

Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, Val d'Orcia, Tuscany, Italy.
This image is from my Tuscany series. Please view my other Tuscany images in my Tuscany set.
The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta is located in the hills of the Val d'Orcia on the road between San Quirico d'Orcia and Pienza in Tuscany, Italy, and is one of the most beautiful and evocative places in this incredible territory, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The small chapel, framed by two rows of cypress trees was built in the spot where legend says the Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherdess. In 1533, a statue of the Virgin Mary by Andrea della Robbia was installed in the church, today conserved in the Church of Madonna di Vitaleta in San Quirico.
This shot was planned using PhotoPills. While I had plenty of time for setup I really squandered the opportunity by not exposing for the sun (as much as that is possible). Live and learn. Still, I want to post this image to share what is possible using PhotoPills.

The captivating image of a solarized night sky, with a glowing moon as the central focal point, recalling the many nights in one’s life that you gaze up into the night sky and contemplate the scale of the universe.
A great day of solar optics yesterday ending in the best show I’ve ever seen.
