Peace by WJPhotography
Give me peace so I won’t cry anymore, / Peace so my soul can rest and / have something left to fight for. Give me peace so my heart can love, / Peace so I can can believe / that there is good above. Give me peace so I can rest tonight, / Peace so I can sleep, not searching / for his image within the night. Give me peace so I can go on, / Peace so I can be at peace / within the dreams that I long.

Inner Harbour, Whitby, North Yorkshire by Carl Young
Whitby is one of my favourite places in the world. As children both my wife and I were taken here for day trips, so unsurprisingly it’s somewhere that keeps drawing us both back. We managed to buy a house here some years ago which means our ties are now stronger than ever. Whitby is a working town; it still has a small fishing fleet and some boat building yards which provides some grit to go with it’s pretty pantiled alleyways and kiss-me-quick hats. The towns maritime history is fabulous; Captain Cook sailed out of Whitby, William Scoresby invented the crows nest here, and the Whale jaw bones on the west side of town are testament to it’s whaling history. There’s something here for all ages, tastes, and pockets – which probably explains the throngs of tourists in peak season. But go on a crisp winters day – like today in this picture – buy some fish and chips, and simply stroll past the boats toward the pier, and take in the history and scenery with a breath or two of fantastic Yorkshire fresh air. You can’t better it – I promise. Equipment: Nikon D200, Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8G. / Technique: 34mm, 1/320sec, f8, ISO 100. Slight Orton effect added to boost color and contrast.

Smithton Wharf (My First Orton) by Garth Smith
Fishing Boats at the Smithton Wharf. / Duck River NW Tasmania I don’t really know much about Orton. When to use it, when not to. I stumbled across how to do it in NX2 so thought I would give it a shot and found a nice light, bright and airy shot to give it a go. / I think it came up OK but don’t be afraid to tell me if I have made some mistakes. Nikon D90 / Nikkor 18-200mm lens / Orton in Capture NX2 featured in A Beautiful Blur group 13th August 2009 / featured in The Amazing Orton Effect group 10th November 2009

Tormented Valley by Vickie Emms
Located near White Pass Summit, British Columbia, Canada on the Klondike Highway. The Tormented Valley contains large areas having an almost “lunar” appearance, making this one of the most unique eco-systems in North America. Here you will explore a forest-tundra ecotone consisting of the blending of a stunted forest of three hundred year old trees, known as “krummholz”, and alpine tundra. / As I took photos in this area, I stared at the appearance of the tiny trees and rock surface like it was from outer space. Canon EOS 50D; Canon 17-85mm lens / 1/200 sec.; F/7.1’ 85mm; ISO100 / Dynamic Photo HDR done in Sepia/Orton Effect / /

About This Group
Orton Effect technique is named after a Vancouver Island’s photographer Michael Orton. He took one very sharp photo, deliberately blurred another identical one, overexposed both of them and merged them together to get this dreamy, impressionistic image. He used traditional film but we can do the same thing in
photoshop.
Limit of 3 images per 24 hour period will be accepted
If you created your artwork using this technique we would love to have it in this group.
