I chose this photo for my solarization because it had a wide range of contrast. I believe this is my best solarized print because it had the strongest eerie glow and was printed the best. On some of my prints I had trouble with the border turning out white and smeared. However, this one turned out fine. Using a #5 filter to increase the contrast, I exposed the photo paper for 5 seconds. I then put my photo in the developer and agitated it for 10 seconds, and then exposed the paper again for 2 seconds. The first time I tried the solarization process, I left my photo in the developer for 15 seconds, which was too long and caused my picture to not have enough of an eerie glow to it. However, by using the shortened time of 10 seconds, I was able to achieve what I wanted. I would use this process again for a final print with a photo that has a lot of contrast and when I may want it to turn out more interesting.
