Some Photoshoppery here. I've become interested in Orton Technique and thought I'd experiment a bit.  This type of image was originally done the hard way, with colour slides. With Photoshop (or GIMP or whatever) it's much easier. Gene |

Gene,
Got to admit I'd never heard of the Orton technique, so I looked it up. Sounds interesting, and I like the result.
Tell us, O Wizard of the Image, did you make two exposures, one in focus and one out of focus, or did you work with just one image and use Blur or Gaussian Blur for the second?

That's a wonderfully surreal image, Gene. I'm not familiar with the Orton Technique so I'm also interested in your method of giving a dream-like quality to the shot.

Peter, I used the one-image, three-layer approach. It's fun to mess around with and doesn't require a high-end photo editor -- as long as it can do layers. Walker, Wayne's link is a good tutorial. Here's another that I used to get me going -- it's a video: lakehyatttrout.blogspot.com/2007/03/3-layer-orton-video.htmlGene |

Gene -- what a neat image!
I recall fooling around with slide sandwich exposures while I was in college in the 60s (don't think it was called the Orton anything then)...but I have not thought of that in decades!
What a marvelous new way to accomplish it now in Photoshop! Thanks for the neat image, and for bringing such a neat idea to the table again! ;D
