I love to try and combine different techniques and see what happens.

Orton Angel

This image started as a 3 shot HDR.  I then came across the Orton technique by chance while flicking through a non photo magazine in the library, it’s amazing what you find while waiting for your kids to choose another pile of books.  

So straight on to google when I got home and I began to research a little more. I loved the way that the technique made the colours so vivid and the life it brought to the pictures.

I was already happy with the Angel, but decided to see what imapct it would have. The greens of the foliage seem to be pouring off the picture and the definition of the angel is significantly improved without any increase in noise. 

I hope you like her as much as I do.
