    Tilt-Shift Photography

    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

    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. We strongly encourage you to explore other works of the photographers we’ve featured in this post.

    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    LOL - I heart Salsa.

    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...

    Re: Tilt-Shift Photography

    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.
