Lighting the fairies' path over the lily pads! Taken at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. This is my first attempt at using the Orton technique I read about here on Caedes.
Thanks for the lights, Hilda...we fairies appreciate all the help we can get :) This is a wonderful first attempt and I can only imagine how good you're going to get at this. You're off to a grand start. Lovely and in my faves folder..just can't decide which one...
Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to the Emerald City and OZ A very nice place to repose. Trust me on this one, I live there. :-)................ MY GALLERY - THE LION****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOMEPAGE
Wow! Way to go, Hilda! They look like little luminaries all right. I wouldn't have thought to use Orton on this, but I'm glad that you did because this is just wonderful!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

A real faerie pond...all we need is a frog to kiss...NOT!!
An excellent presentation, especially your first attempt with Orton. It has really enhanced the image. I daren't try anything new just yet. Thanks for sharing...J
No Sig, Just, I want to say "Thank You" to all of the talented photographers for giving me the most beautiful desktops I could ever imagine. The artistry here is breathtaking.
The Orton technique has worked very well with this one. You’ve managed to give it a beautiful glow, which I find very pleasing. Love the composition in this too. Now I’m off to find that tutorial.
I'm sure PJ appreciates your lighting a landing strip for her Hilda! lol Not familiar with the Orton technique but it sure worked good on this one it seems!
