Just heard about this and it can produce some very cool nature/landscape effects. What are your expert opinions here?

It is pretty neat, makes the pictures look more like a painting and a bit soft as well. however with selective layers and sharpening could get results don't see any other way.

It seems that your link to the Orton article at Nature Photographers isn't working. I get a "404 Not Found" error page.

Love the look though - would like to see the Photoshop workflow for it, though I imagine it's very similar.

Fixed the link, if you didn't see scab-labs reply. And glad you liked the OCC photos... it was a treat to be able to do that this year.

You can also fake this by creating a layer via copy and running gausssian blur on it, set in overlay mode or hard/soft light.

Oops, I re-read the article, and saw your blog. Doh!

I want to try the reverse of this, or an articulation of this, and zoom in on a portion of a complicated scene and set that second exposure in as an overlay. I've seen that used to great effect, but it seems much more difficult to master.

it's a bit similar to what I do to some of my portrait photo's.

I duplicate the layer, throw a huge gaussion blur on it and then set the layer to 'overlay' then desaturate, and maybe slightly erase some parts that turn out too orange because of the process.



the model hates this photo, but I love the innocent face together with the angel's wings :-D

Does anyone have a workflow for this technique in Elements 5? I have tried a few images using the technique given and although the steps are very similar, I don't seem to get quite the same dramatic effect.
