Description
This is a shot I made in one of the basement rooms of the castle I have posted before, the 'Gravensteen', meaning 'Castle of the Duke'. It was dark in there, but they got all these little spots hanging across the room, attached to almost invisible metal wiring... I was quite surprised when I managed to capture this without a tripod... since I don't have one. You can see the medieval vaults in the background, and the lights from the spots look like a constellation taking form in thin air... A composition of stars. I'm quite happy with this shot, So far I haven't seen anything on DA that looks like this so I'm quite curious about your opinion on this one...Comments are very welcome !!!

This is really amazing, an earthly constellation as I see it.
No longer need to go to the night sky to see stars, eh? =]

Very cool...it looks like it's been solarized? Sounds like a very interesting place to visit!

Oh no I'm mistaken here,
I added 3 points to contrast and
gave it a tiny black border.
And it's very interesting to visit

So what was the solarisation you were talking about?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem
Solarisation is an effect that occurs to prints and film when they get exposed to light during processing. It causes colours to sort of reverse sometimes. Check out this article here, it's not excellent but it'll give you an idea

And here's a photo to check out:
