Michael Orton developed a dreamy look for slide photographs called the Orton Effect (or photo montage) in the 1980s. You can use a camera with multiple exposure capability to follow in Michael's footsteps. Or you can simulate the effect using photo editing software with the ability to use layers. In the image below I duplicated the original flower layer, applied a blur filter, and adjusted the opacity of the blurred effect. Then I painted back in some of the sharpness in the flower's center.
