3 Layer Orton Video Tutorial

OK........

The video is uploaded. Enjoy!



The Flickr Orton group is here.

A discussion thread is here.

3 Layer Orton

I've just recorded a video that shows how I am now doing most of my post processing.

-It was captured in one take, a little less than 10 minutes long.

-I installed Adobe Premiere Elements, 15 minutes.

-I learned how to zoom in on the video using camera controls, 30 minutes.

-I edited the titles and the zooms, 60 minutes.

-Rendering the video? Priceless, or about 23 hours and still going.

That will teach me to do this on my main PC (1.7G Pentium-M). Unfortunately, Premiere isn't compiled for the native Itanium instruction set, so I can't run it on my 64 Socket Itanium system. That's 128 cores. I figure it would render in a few minutes on that box.

Oh well.

Ortonize Photos

OK, so I don't update my blog often. You get what you pay for. Or not.

I got more than I paid for when I was looking at trout photos on Flickr. I stumbled across a woman in Michigan who had a note on using the "Orton Technique". Thinking this was some new fishing trick, I googled and found this:

"Ortonizing" is a way to mess with your photos in a fun way.

Here are a few results (zebra, maple, thistle):
