The orton effect involves one out of focus and one in focus image sandwiched together that gives us a glowing effect. This technique was first used by Michael Orton. He used one sharp image overexposed by two stops and the other out of focus imaged overexposed by one stop and clubbed them together as a single image.
The results are stunning.
