I noticed that solar can add great textures to wood and found this door in my files to practice with.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.

There must be an infinity of possibilities with solar.
This interpretation seems to affect only the edges of the door and the panels.
And, oh- I like it Chris.

Very nice solar work.
I think in terms of metal structures for this treatment, but your image demonstrates wood can look fascinating as well!

Charlie, some surfaces look great, some are not much affected and others look simply horrible after solar treatment.
It's very unpredictable and part of the fun. Looks like you like more and more solar.

Yes, the bricks look good too. Thanks for the comment, Tom.
I think next I'm going to solarize a bridge.

That's really unique, I like the processing. Question: what's Solar? I see a number of posts in the BW forum indicating Solar. Is it a plugin or an action? I'd like to incorporate it in some of my photos.

Thank you Tim. Tom did post some very good work with solar wood.
Made me curious what solar can do with other surfaces than metal.

Hi Joe, solar is short for solarization. There are different ways to get there but the most common one is probably using curves.
Just do a search on youtube for "solarization photoshop". Lots of tutorials out there. Hope you enjoy.
