Fortnight Lily ala orton

Thankfully tools in don't change much and I can easily create layers and ortonize images. This is the Fortnight Lily aka African Iris that has been given the Orton treatment. Starting from RAW files as discussed earlier gives one a lot more detail to work with to start, the added bonus comes into play when working in the orton style in that you have highly detailed layers under the blur to add to the impressionistic feel of the final image. I like that.

A little meander in my garden

Yesterday was a strange day, misty in the am then it cleared up fast.  I spotted a few of the Fortnight Lily aka African Iris all covered in droplets that the sun hadn't dried up and HAD to get a quick pic.  While I was at it I shot a few more of Shropshire Lass.

All of these were post processed from the RAW image data file into the Orton style.  The final images were given the look and feel of the old Cibrachrome print material from back in my dip and dunk days.

Enjoy the pics and the coming weekend!
