Cam & I hung out Saturday evening and after we went out for supper we decided to try this path I have been wanting to try by the river and see if we can get some nice photos.

While I was processing them later that night I remembered seeing an Orton tag in a Flickr photostream from one of the photographers I like to follow and they posted some work they did using the “Orton technique“.

I was very impressed and wanted to try it out so using a quick tutorial I found, I tried it on a couple of my images that I had shot 3 exposures for as I had intended on processing them for HDR. In some ways the results seem to be very similar to HDR although these tend to have a darker dreamier feel to them. It has lots of potential!
