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.
