I was introduced to this by a friend ages ago, but hadn't thought to apply it to any of my images since I got the E-P2. Originally developed by Michael Orton as a technique on film (Google will help you if you want more details), there are plenty of different ways of doing it, but it does require a post-processing package that can do layers (so LR won't do).
(I think it might be possible to do something very similar in-camera though, at least on the E-P2)
anyway, here's an "Ortonised" image, using a plugin for TheGimp I found on the internet (I lack patience, a cardinal sin for the snapper), and it isn't the most subtle image ... but I like it and wanted to share it ...
