An experiment - and a short break from the gloom of the winter Gormleys ...
I recently found an interesting link on *kday*'s page to the Orton technique. It looked like a nice soft effect so I thought I'd give it a go. I know I haven't got it quite right yet, but I think it might be worth experimenting more.
But I'm still not sure ...
What do you think?

I'm really not sure about this picture and so I'd be massively grateful for your constructive comments. Does it work? Is it under-exposed? How would you improve it?
If you have a moment, I really would appreciate your thoughts as I feel I'm in completely new territory here...
Many thanks,
Tom.
Many thanks indeed to everyone who contributed to this really useful discussion - I found it immensely helpful. Thanks!
... I downloaded this free texture a few days ago and forgot where I found it. If you recognize your texture... please tell me so I can give you the credits for it :-)

Zinc chloride from pennies and calcium chloride from limestone (digested by muriatic acid) was combined with sulfur, NaCl and 3 drops of MnSO4 sol. This was melted with a MAP gas torch.

Right, some more experiments in B&W with the Cyber trio. I am completely undecided on which is best, all have their merits.

Usually cats don't feed flower, but in this time it seems to be. I also used a special cross-processing effect that I never used before (also this an experiment) ;).
Enjoy!

My first experiment with HDR. I like the look, but I might have over-done it in post processing. What do you think?
Once again a little experiment. Moving the focus ring of the lens during a 3 sec. exposure produces this glow effect. A little camera shake could not be avoided, but adds nicely to the overall result :)
Setting: my kitchen countertop which is lit by a nice window facing north, great natural light for macro shoots. Backdrop: an old black fleece blanket.
Tripod, 2 sec. selftimer (the RC release has only just arrived).
Experimenting with black and white again :) I am amazed how many things that you can do in BW!
One of my favorite bw photo. I just wish that this hibiscus had a longer staminal column :)

Have a great day my friends!
I've told several of my flickr friends that brightly colored thumbnails get more activity than those that are not (which is why I cranked the saturation on the left image to an obscene level). Above are 3 images of Marquam Interchange the one on the left made Explore #25. Neither of the other 2 made explore. Personally I think the one on the left seriously sucks when compared to the other 2. Which is in large part why I think "explore" as any measure of image quailty is bullshit. I'd much rather get decent feedback and criticism from my contacts (who I have a lot of repect for) than some anonymous people in the flickrsphere.
Thanks for playing along. :o)
