On the road to Oldstead.
This was one of my first attempts at Ortonising a photo.. I don’t think my Orton technique has ever matched it since.. perhaps it was just the subject matter that suited the technique.. It’s a photo of a small country lane just off the North York Moors.

This is sooo interesting!! The capture itself is a mystically vision..and this technique you used is wow really cool.. but what is Orton?

Hi Charlotte,
I’m no expert at Orton, but a rough idea is you are merging a slightly blurred version of a photo with the a sharp version. This has the effect of giving that soft feeling the photo has, and in this case enhanced the colours.
I think originally it was a film effect, but now you can get a similar effect digitally.
The method I used, you will find under the heading “Digital Technique” here….

The originator of the technique was Michael Orton.
