Fake Tilt-Shift

Created this with photoshop...I think it would have been better if more cars were down there. But it was my first go at it...

Nice! I've been meaning to try this.

I've seen this in the past somewhere and have thought about it since. I'd love to give it a try. Do you have a source for a tutorial? Help, tips, tricks? Or would you rather not share you "secrets"?

Start with a photo taken looking down on a scene...
Then increase the saturation or vibrance of the photo to give it a more toylike look...then just select (I feathered the selection) the top and bottom and blur them.(I used gaussian blur)

Thanks for the comments.

That's great! I was playing around with this in GIMP about a month (or two?) ago & had a lot of fun with this.

Here's the GIMP tutorial I used - Gimparoo!: Fake Tilt Shift
