at the county fair

I entered four photos at our local Nevada County Fair in California.
I though my Sabbatier would get a ribbon, but no. My butterfly took third place and here they are.
The Sabbatier for those that haven't had the thrill of the darkroom is quite a process. They sometimes come out black. I know it doesn't suit everyone's taste so It was entered as a technical manipulation. It took at least a dozen sheets of paper before I had the effect I wanted. As I am fond of saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beer holder'!

Hmmmm...my mind is trying to remember the sabbatier effect...exposing the print to light during the developing phase? Congrats on third place, very respectable finish. ;-)

Yes, make the print, partially develop, stop, expose to light, do entire developing process and hopefully it doesn't come out black!
Thanks for the nice words. First went to a wisp od smoke against a black background that took MY breath away!
