This may seem trivial to most of you, but I was finally able to get a Black Sun photo with solarization when I found some expired Kodak Super-XX 4x5 film on ebay. However, this shot has an intense reflection from the pond and it also produced a black sun in the reflection. Actually four more Black Suns in the reflections!

Here is a close up. In the large reflection it looks like a piece of dirt, but I can assure you that it is solarization:

I have a more longwinded story of the process here for anyone interested:

Super-XX has a remarkably long straight line. But last year I stumbled onto a sheet of 20yr old 8X10 ACROS in an old paper safe that I thought was empty. So I did a "what the heck shot" that turned out to be a dumb luck gem. Not a full black solarization but something in between really rather subtly disturbing in an otherwise quite surreal shot. I split toned it.

Pretty cool indeed! But imagine it with an Imagon with the h-holes open... :rolleyes:
