Hi guys

Even when I'm out shooting aviation photography I'm always on the lookout for a picture for myself or potential stock agency material.

Liked the way this scene looked so took the picture.Given the Orton effect in Photoshop.



Can't beat a bit of mist.



Also quite liked the mono conversion of the above picture.



Cheers
Gary

'whats the orton effect' some kind of HDR

Hi Chris

It's an effect that dates back to slide films.It gives supposedly dreamy like photos.Check out the link below.I really like the effect but I'm a sucker for that kind a thing.
Combined with HDR you can get some stunning results.Photomatix is awesome for HDR if you have never tried it thats a piece of software definitely worth trying out.
No HDR on the top picture.It just didn't look as good as I wanted out of camera so I used the Orton effect to try and make something out of it.

Another example of the effect.
