I was looking to see if i’m doing what’s been done. While camera Motion can have a blending/mixing of colours, I’m concerned after reading http://www.photography.ca/fine-art-photographers/orton/ that colors found in RAW that were not noticeable, looking in the camera/looking through the camera were redistributed in the image, yet applied to dramatic affect.-Ernie Moore Jr.

I’m trying to discern which of the selections were camera motion. When I select them the color might seem off, or not valid/true in that position–trying to see the meat from the gristle. If there’s Orton effect done by Orton himself I suppose it is merely his style. But when you get your style from a Photo Shop (including layering)-one has left photography and entered Gaphic Art.-Ernie Moore Jr.

As people working with what’s available, much success to the Ortons with their Graphic Arts work(s). I hope to someday see the non-composite layer, Composite Intentional Camera Motion Imagery untouched(-up) nor what’s there reapplied; to see how the photoimages compared to my handling of camera motion.-Ernie Moore Jr.

The lack of pompusness was nice. Mr. Orton seems a person who’s found joy in the experiences-what was old can be looked at again to be new and reappreciated.-Ernie Moore Jr.

Another great podcast Marko.

What I loved about this episode was it was inspiring. It makes me want to go out of my normal shooting mode and try something new.

Michael has a truly wonderful portfolio and I wanted to thank him for his inspiration and sharing his technique.

Hey Marko! It’s my first time commenting on your site, but I am a long time listener to your podcast. Just wanted to say thanks for your interview with Michael Orton. I am completely smitten with his camera movement work. I actually took an “accidental” photo last year that I liked. I was going to an upstairs window to take a picture of a beautiful sunset. On my way up, I accidentally pressed the shutter release. The shutter speed was set on 1 second (from the prev. night when I was doing some night photography.) I got a shot that turned out pretty cool. I never thought of doing it on purpose! I’m definitely going to experiment with this!

Also, I have to agree with Mathias, you have a really unique, pleasant to listen to voice. As I believe I mentioned when I found you on G+, you always seem so happy & excited to talk photography, it makes for a very enjoyable listening experience! Thanks!

I’ve used camera movement to get some interesting shots, but i never thought about such specific movements like the ones Orton used. Very useful and interesting podcast!

Thanks so much for the comments everyone! Much appreciated.
Mathias, I’m flattered — Thanks for taking the time to write me; it makes producing these photo podcasts even more enjoyable.

Thank you very much for another great podcast episode.

I subscribe to a number of photo podcasts (Tips from the Top Floor, a few german-language ones, PhotoNetCast and the Pro Photography Show) and I’ve got to say the scope, depth and length of the individual episodes is perfect for my attention span and interest!

Love how you’ve picked a (to me) totally new perspective on how to take pictures of landscapes this time. And the fact that you’ve also made it rather hands-on and applicable.

I also need to say that you have a genuinely interesting vocal range that isn’t tiring to listen to at all. Okay, that may be a weird way to provide positive feedback, but I find a good many podcasts go a long way toward the vocal equivalent of fingernails screeching over a blackboard. Yours doesn’t.

So thank you for all that, please keep it up.

Greetings from Germany (land of the plain-spoken feedback),

Mathias

Great podcast! Michael Orton’s images are gorgeous. Years ago I did a general photography course Shai Ginott (www.shaiginott.com). She does similar work but wouldn’t tell us how she used camera movement to create abstract landscapes. Now I’m feeling really inspired!
