20070818 - Rained!

It rained today so I tried to take a photo of the rain, but none of them really worked.
I bumped into my horsie freinds on the way again, this time they were sheltering under a tree.
Earlier I found out about the Orton effect, an out-of-focus, overexposed picture sat on top of a slightly overexposed sharp one. Not sure I've done enough blurring but quite like it anyways...
Best viewed at original size.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I like this one. Second horse from the front a bit of a distraction though. The Orton effect sounds a bit like Gothic Glow (ie. create duplicate layer with 25% Gaussian blur, blend it with the original using Multiply, collapse layers then create another duplicate layer with 25% Gaussian blur, blend using screen, collapse layers.) I tend to just create a dupe with 25% Gaussian blur and then blend it in with multiply at somethign less than 100%.
