Tilt-Shift Photography

[salsashark]

These pics are sweet... I found a tutorial on how to mimic these using photoshop so I'll see what I can find some killer GP shots and shrink 'em!

Here's the article (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/16/beautiful-examples-of-tilt-shift-photography/)


Tilt-shift photography is a creative and unique type of photography in which the camera is manipulated so that a life-sized location or subject looks like a miniature-scale model. Below we present 50 beautiful examples of tilt-shift photography. All examples are linked to their sources.

LOL - I heart Salsa. :hibye:

I checked the link and those are some interesting pics. It's bizarre really what some of those lenses can do. Some were pretty cool lookin though. ;)

Some looked more like models than actual stuff. It is a pretty cool effect. It would be cool to get some canyon runs captured like that.

^^ I've been hunting for a nice MotoGP pic or the like to steal and use photoshop on it to mimic this effect but I've come up empty so far...

Go here: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ and check the MotoGP thread :)

The others kick ass too!!

I was interested in this technique a while back, this is what I came up with (no Photoshop)...

Works well with portraits, too, kind of ethereal...

I had thought about buying a 4x5 field camera to create this effect, but figured I should build my own first to see if I wanted to make the investment or not, so I made my own crude bellows...

That is a pretty cool technique. I've never messed with modifying a lense, but I have used photoshop to do some stuff like that at work.
