Sunflowers Variation 3 features another digital alteration of the image, this time applying a solarization effect. In the era before digital photography, unique effects could be created by exposing negatives or photographic prints to light prior to full development. A comparable result could also be obtained through excessive overexposure of film in the camera. Here, I’ve utilized digital methods that mimic solarization. This technique allows for significant variation with different colors and intensities of effect. Solarization ranks among the earliest techniques for manipulating images in the history of photography. This effect was recognized by Louis Daguerre, a pioneer in photographic invention. The method is also referred to as the Sabattier Effect at times.
Here is the side-by-side slider for comparing the original with this week’s variation.
