Solarisation in the darkroom

I did another experiment in the dark room called Solarisation. 
This is done by exposing the negative onto photographic paper as usual and then placing the paper into the developer solution until you start to see some of the image.
Quickly, you then expose the paper to light but without the negative (as it is hard to line up quickly) for a second or two and then place the paper back into the developer for a minute or two and then the stop and the fix after.

This is a hard experiment to get good result first time so you will have to try and try again but eventually with patients you will get an outcome similar if not better then mine.

This is a good enhancement to use in your work if you are very patient when done correctly the outcome is great. I however could not get the hang of it very well but this was my best atempt.
