This is PP long before digital, Original photo taken on Kodachrome II 64 ASA, in the Richtersveld. In the darkroom this tranny was exposed under a colour head enlarger onto Kodak Ektacolour print film [ this was normally used to obtain a transparency from colour negative neg ] and some filtration added to the light, developed for half the development, then placed under the enlarger and again exposed with changed filtration, ie it is now solarised, and the development completed. You never knew what colour was going to emerge, I was just lucky with this one, it managed a few awards on International Salons in the experimental sections, what we would have given for photo shop !!! Circa 1977

Any one that had done that type work in a wet lab has to appreciate digital processing !!!!
Making one was an art of love and as Loukie points out results were not always predictable !!!! That is one wild image !!! Keeper !!!!
