Pic Of The Day: Time

[zippyjuan]

You may remember the picture of the sculpture at UC San Diego that looks a little like Stonehenge- http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91547&highlight=stonehenge . Well, I was playing around with Photoshop Elements and tried a filter called "solarization". How I think that works (and if I am wrong, someone can correct me) is that it splits the light (black to white) spectrum in half. The lower half is kept normal, but the higher (whiter) half is converted like a negative- with the whitest part turned black. On this picture, I think it had a pretty cool effect.

Nice effect. You could cut out the grass and basically put whatever you want as a floor, and make it even more trippy. Or you could leave it as it it :thumb:

:stupid:
You could use the Extract feature (Filters | Extract) also to make it easier than trying to cut everything out.

With standard film, solarization refers to explosing the print to light while it is still in the developer. (Some "scientific" photographers would use a camera strobe so that they could control the exact amount of light.) The results can be rather interesting.
