Orton Effect in Binnenveld Wageningen
The Orton Effect is a post-processing technique used to add excitement and mysteriousness.
It’s named after Michael Orton, a landscape photographer, who used to introduce a surreal vibe to his images. Initially, he shot two photographs on slides of film, using a tripod. One was focused and exposed correctly. The second one was then overexposed and defocused.
Of course, in itself, this second photograph was unusable. But when the two were blended, they produced a single picture that was simultaneously sharp and blurry.
This gave the images an abstract and surreal feel.
Nowadays, the technique is used digitally, and in many cases, it’s over the top on purpose. As with all post-processing techniques, you must apply it carefully, with taste.
