Shoe Ortons...

Paul Iddon

I have to submit 3 photos into a quick comp at the camera club in the " 3 on a theme " category, and I wanted of course to be different from everyone else.

Racked my brains and remembered and forum buddies photo of a boot, and thought "I'll use shoes". Then used the "orton effect" to make them stand out more.

So thanks go to my friend CJ for this idea.


These are 3 photos.











Which makes the rotation on screen like so:




What do you think?

I like the nice warm colours and the triptych

If I was offer my £0.02p I'd suggest:

1. for a triptych to really work (for me at least) I like the 3 images to be the same size - so the squarish layout of the middle shoe breaks it up too much

2. I'd use a thinner border - maybe with a light shadow

3. maybe slightly more space between the images - give them some breathing room

But hey criticism is _always_ easier than getting off your bum and getting out and doing it yourself! So kudos!

Be interested to see how it looks with the suggestions - maybe I'm wrong

Cheers, Jase

Thanks Jase.

It won't be views as a triptych, each one is viewed individually. I just added that at the end to show the order of presentation.


Cheers for looking and your thoughts though.

In that case ignore everything I said I think seperate they work much better!

I'd still like to see thinner borders
