| Keywords: dew dewdrops processedtohellandgone project 366 project366 sunrise wet grass wetgrass photo border grass plant depth of field outdoor serene Today we got gifted with a really, really beautiful sunrise, and the light was just delicious. I earned a few curious glances in work kneeling down in a patch of wet grass at half seven in the morning, but walking past a grassy bank it just looked fabulous. The photo in no way renders the scene effectively but it would have been rude not to try. The huge blow in the left of frame is of course the rising sun, and the whole photo has been processed to death in Picasa using one of the new creative filters that was recently rolled out - 'Ortonish'. This is in reference to a technique developed by Michael Orton, which involved shooting a scene twice. The first shot is sharply focussed with a high f-stop, but overexposed a lot. The second shot is slightly overexposed and very heavily defocussed. You shoot the lot on slide film, then sandwich the two exposures together and project them. The idea is to give a blooming, dream-like romanticism. I'm sure the real deal would look better than my dew drops, but it's interesting nonetheless. :) Today we got gifted with a really, really beautiful sunrise, and the light was just delicious.
