OK coming back to our photo sandwich
Came to know about it, from my photography club forum. so i thought may be i will share.


<History and Technique Brief>
This was first used by Michael Orton, thts y its called Orton Slide sandwich, this is done using slide film. The technique is to expose 2 shots of the same subject, one should be over exposed by two stops and the other should be out of focus. Then these two slides are sandwiched together to produce the final image.
