Lily - Orton effect

Posted by Stinkbug Photography (Cochise County, United States) on 14 December 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

This image along with yesterdays sunflower were processed using the Orton effect. It was originally a darkroom technique but can be done on the computer as well. Basically it is a sandwich of a sharp image with a slightly blurred one.
