Week 13 Theme: "The Orton Effect" - Temple Square Sunset-No April Fools Joke
This weeks theme is "The Orton Effect" an effect that in essence adds substantial contrast, saturation, and glow to an image. Developed many years ago with Slide film it is easy to replicate in Photoshop and is even one of my favorite presets in Nik Color Effex Pro.
I took a short photowalk on April Fools day evening to the State Capitol and Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, although I didn't have the dramatic clouds I would have liked the sunset was still a beautiful sight and was perfect for a high contrast scene for this weeks theme. Although a huge fan of the technique and look the Orton Effect gives I don't usually go quite this dark with my images so this was a bit of a challenge for me to stop from adjusting the levels higher. My favorite part of the image is the subtle pink in the sky that was brought out so well by the technique.
