Camera made from 35 mm film canister.
Three week exposure, B&W paper negative.
Maybe not strictly a FADU picture as this is a scan from the negative but as the negative is so over exposed it cannot be developed or fixed and can only be saved and printed digitally.

Wow. This is a great image, very mysterious and other-worldly.
However . . . duh? This is a scan from a negative which was neither developed nor fixed?? It was 'saved' and scanned???
Sorry, I must have drunk too much stupid juice last night. What exactly was the sequence here Paul as I'm a bit lost.

Sorry if I didn't explain the process very well. Because solargraphs are made with extremely long exposures, anything from a few weeks to several months, the paper negative is greatly over-exposed and comes out of the camera with a visible image, not a latent one. Developing in chemicals, in the conventional way would, therefore, destroy the image. The only way to keep the image is to scan the negative and make a digital print.

A-Ha! Now I'm with you. So the original image is captured on a piece of colour photographic paper, but comes out as a positive becuase of the massive exposure? I've come across that concept in Solarisation, where huge overexposure reverses the tones. Very interesting!

I have not come across this before. Presumably the white lines in the sky are the track of the sun and the broken bits are when there was cloud cover?
Interesting!

I've been reading up on really alternative processes such as this lately and it's interesting to note that the neg / print, although colour, is made on BLACK AND WHITE darkroom paper and the colours are introduced by the extremelyyyyyyyyyyy longggggggggggggggg exposure! Smile

Another way of achieving colour with black and white paper is by making "lumen" prints. Contact printing in hot, bright sunshine, no developing, just fixing and washing.
