It ’s a foreign consequence , reversing the highlights and shadows of an image . Scenes are familiar opposites , doppelgängers that ca n’t quite be intrust . And that ’s precisely what we see inthis workweek ’s Shooting Challenge .
Shooting Challenge : solarisation
WINNER: Kiteboarding
I took this characterisation at the Browns Point Community Park & Lighthouse in North Tacoma on Puget Sound . It was a enormously windy day and though the sky was clear & blue for 20 minute dark ass clouds were rolling in like pornography windowpane pop - ups . There were no cloud at this instant so the was a solid colouration for about 200 hundred mil . The Kite Boarder was catching huge air & when with the farting was going nearly 50 mph .
Just 10 minutes later the wind died , the clouds pullulate , & visibility was about 200yds .
Across the auditory sensation you could see South Maury Island . ( Home of the very first Alien liaison & earthly death . I went to mellow school with the Grandson of Dahl and met him once to take heed the narrative at the site . )
The word-painting was a immediate snap in color , although I was doing B&W practice I used the color as a consultation for my B&W drill . I was looking for boundary to pip hand-held at high ISO while still allow in enough sparkle to make a operable shot without moving to much and losing sharpness . It end up being the perfect snapshot for the solarisation .
I cropped out a flake of land that was over concentrated at the bottom and made a wee color curve edit to show the contrast of the dissimilar ranges of the Olympic Mountains in the background . Sony Nex-5 with thw 18 - 200 outfit electron lens , F/13 , 1/250 sec , ISO-200

Warm Weather Is Coming
I took this photo out of my window in Calgary , Alberta , as a fond weather front was coming in with fogginess at the base of the Rocky Mountains . I only switched the shadows in this image instead of the highlights in most solarized images , because I wanted the fog to stay lustrous . Sony α550 with a Sigma AF 180 millimetre f/3.5 EX HSM APO macro lens . f/9 1/1000s ISO 200 .

Storm
For much of Friday and Saturday , Hurricane Sandy produced nothing by sullen , drab clouds . It was n’t until sunset on Saturday that the swarm start to break up and let some dismount through . The remaining swarm were colorful and optic - watch . It was n’t until the image was solarized that they reveal their true , baleful nature .

Rose
I had in the beginning taken some cityscape flick I designate to use for this challenge , but I was n’t happy with the result – everything count like a bad album cover a fifteen - yr - older would contrive . I was go bad to give up when I get down playing around with some exposure I had taken this weekend for my Dad of his roseate garden . I ’m blessed to live in California , and you ’d think it was summer and not nearly Halloween here – my Dad want to show off his garden still in heyday . After using the solarize option in Photoshop Elements , I played around with the accommodation a small until I get this result . It did n’t come out as extreme as my cityscapes , but still kind of different .

Chained
This dig was taken with a Nikon D90 using a Tokina 12 - 24 millimetre lens at 20 mm ( which would equalise to 30 millimeter if the D90 had a full - sized sensor ) . Taken at f5.0 , 1/60 , using flash bounced off of a mirror . Since I ’m the only model I had handy , it was of requirement learn finish - up . I ’d been considering a more traditional landscape painting , but figured everyone else likely was also . wake up this dawning thinking of thiis shot and thought I ’d seek it out .

Colorful Autumn Foliage
dart on a T3i , with a 18 - 55 mm . At ISO:100 Shutterspeed : 1/20 . Had to hold the tripod upside down along the water to capture this . I ’m 15 and inhabit in New Hampshire , and just start doing some serious picture taking . Road my bike down to the river a few Day ago to take a coloured word-painting of the autumn leafage , then I mean , I wonder it would look like if i reverse it !

Fantastic entries . Not everyone quite take advantage on the “ Sabattier effect“—the more precise full term used to describe that polar lighting we generally play up under “ solarization”—but the eerie , HDR - esque pitch-black and white shots are just a lot of fun .
