A bit of darkroom trickery here.  I find that this type of
picture never wins anything,  but is strong and tends to go well
on an exhibition wall.

During  club exhibitions which were open to the public I  used 
to spend  time in the gallery watching the reaction of  visitors.
It was  very interesting to note that it was often pictures that 
had NOT  been  judged winners that actually attracted  most 
attention from `Joe Public`.


This  is one of the reasons that I like to come up with 
different and/or unusual ideas.

The  picture is a simple silhouette of a decorative ceramic 
horse against  a white wall.  This was printed on a piece of hard

grade paper to get pure white and clean blacks.

Multigrade would now do this - grade 5


The  moon was a large black BOTTLE,  placed on the  exposed 
paper with  the  red enlarger filter in place to get the bottle 
in  the right  position.  The  enlarger  was then  switched  off 
and  the negative removed.

Next, the enlarger was flashed on and off for a few seconds to
fog the paper slightly.  Time was a result of previous tests with
some scrap printing paper.

The developed image then appears as here.
