Tried to create a tilt-shift effect. Not great, but it was fun in pp anyway and i learned something new

Nice shot really. I would say drop you focus line down a little and get some of the trucks towards the bottom in focus and your golden.

I gotta say, you nailed the tilt shift look. It looks like I'm looking down at some of my sons toys! Nice work!

What program are you guys using for the tilt shift?

cosmoepic · Jan 26, 2009

i did mine in photoshop CS3 i would just buy the lens, but with alittle practice you can really get the same effect in PP, and i cant justify spending that much on a lens i would rarely use

Hey guys, what IS Tilt Shift?

Those shots look cool as heck.

Mgw189 · Jan 26, 2009

Tilt shift is a type of lens. The images you see here are done with photoshop however.

but why is the focus plain so small? especially in the first? is that part of tilt shift?

Yes the focal plane is that small on purpose. It is what lends itself to looking like miniatures.

The lenses are pretty cool they physically move to change the focal plane.

There are some great examples of T/S photography on this photo blog.

[daily dose of imagery] mini hotel is one example. He uses an actual lense as opposed to achieving the look with photoshop.
