pretty gimicky desu. i mean in a picture like that i cant see any benefit of the gimmick. ive seen some landscapes where you dont know if youre looking at a positive or negative, night or day, thats a kinda cool use of this.
Solarization seems like such a digital effect to me, I was kinda amazed the first time I found out it was a film thing and not just the name of a photoshop filter.

I get what you saying. I think it looks good sometimes, it's pretty much like looking at a negative: by forcing you to imagine what will it look like, you see somethings that usually goes unnoticed on the positive image. I've tried to get more of his eyes in that pic, for instance. Also I think it looks less gimmicky when there are midtones, not just stark b/w.
I think you're taking about Brett Weston pics, they really nice indeed.

Yea, I was surprised when I first heard that too. Btw, thanks to tarkovsky I started enjoying image alterations like.

Nice, the texture really shows

tacky either way tho hope we can agree on that

I was just pointing out how young and clueless the posters were. regardless of if you like solarization or not, to have not heard of it outside of photoshop and call yourself interested in photography is ridiculous. I mean, you'd have had to never opened a book on photography in your life. even skimming the wikipedia page about photography would introduce you to it
that pic looks more like a straight up negative than a solarisation

nevermind, i should have looked closer. but still, i don't think it's a good example

>kids thought solarization was a photoshop filter
Yes, what else do you expect when I grow up fucking with photoshop and not with a darkroom in my attic?
>>2741493
because someone's age determines how much they know about something.
stop being a grumpy old cunt, man.

That's bc the kids were really black, I think. kek

I think it's solarized film, not a print. The words on the jersey are backwards. And I couldn't help inverting it in photoshop.

>>2741379 here, I actually have some Solarol which I bought with a stack of other darkroom garbage from some crazy old german dude.
Haven't used it yet, because I'm more into straight photography, and it seems like the process would be pretty time and experiment heavy...
I got a stack of Agfacontour, Kodalith, and ridiculous gridded sheet film, lith film, ortho films for doing all of that heavy darkroom manipulation stuff from him.
>all one click in PS now, I wonder if this guy feels like he wasted his life on that trash...
>>2741508
Maybe you could have haerd of Man Ray before
've done some of them in photohop too but I don't thonk we should name those solarization. Any thoughts ?

literally has nothing to do with your age or the age of the medium
