Tilt it!

Mon Sep 14, 2009, 6:57 AM
... something about tilt-shift-photography

Hi there deviants!
Some weeks ago I discovered an interesting and very funny-looking photo-technique: Tilt-Shift-Photography (Wikipedia: [link]). Most interesting: The miniature-faking.

Before I go further into detail - here are my tries with it:

City: :thumb137008540: ([link])
Village: :thumb137008754: ([link])
Mountain: :thumb137008615: ([link])
Rails: :thumb137008700: ([link])
People: :thumb137746024: ([link])
(edit: damnit only premium members can insert pictures...)

As you can see - everything looks like toys. :)

Originally these pictures were made by tilting the lense. But since these tilt-shift-lenses are veeeery expensive - I did it digitally by blurring specific parts of the image.

You can find lots of tutorial about this technique. Here on deviant for example: [link]

Some advices from my side ...
Optimal conditions for the source image:
- elevated position
- only few dof-blur (since you want to add blur by yourself)
- bright sunlight with hard shadows
- high contrast + intensive colors
Basically the same conditions when you would photograph your model trains (or some miniature city, .. whatever).

Would be glad to see some results by anyone :)
If you have questions - feel free to ask.

Greetings
Philip

My best friend told me that the chemicals in the air would make the color in the sky.
"Pollution is pretty", she said.
I really love the way she sees the world.
