From Wikipedia: “Orton imagery, also called an Orton slide sandwich, is a photography technique which blends two completely different photos of the same scene, resulting in a distinctive mix of high and low detail areas within the same photo. It was originated by photographer Michael Orton

History
The original technique invented by Michael Orton was to overlay two or more images of an identical scene with very different exposures on slide film.[2] One image is sharply focused and the others are very out of focus. Orton has also experimented with similar techniques, substituting one of the images in the composition for one of a different subject, such as a texture layer, or combining a multi-colored image and a monotone one

Thank you so much for sharing the link! I’ve found it very useful and have bookmarked it.

Cool!! It doesn’t say how to “take” a blurred image though – slide your zoom? wiggle the tripod? Or do you just blur it in PS?

This link to the Orton Effect tutorial didn’t seem to work has anyone got another please,Bev
