  • This is using the tilt/shift technique. I had a flight over the city a while ago. Voted in the top ten of the Best Treatment Group – SydneyOpera House / .

  • An old photo of Robin Hoods Bay that I tried to give the Tilt Shift effect.. I like the result, but I need more suitable subject matter in my portfolio, such as street scenes from above…. It’s only done for a bit of fun. I think it looks better when seen large, the people and cars look more like models..well that’s the idea :-)

  • favourite past time: extreme tourist shrinking.

  • a few years ago, i thought i needed a break and took a week off and rode on my bike all the way down to val d’orcia in tuscany/italy. on my own. just me. the people there were incredibly friendly. when they heard that i was on my own, they invited me to their houses for lunch and dinner.

  • Just trying something new.

  • I just had to do one more…. for now.

  • I’ve become a little obsessed with these miniature images…sorry about that. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon…it’s been raining here lots – I think I have cabin fever!

  • Ok…another Fingal shot. I can really say that this is one of my top 5 locations. Just love the versatility it provides. This shot has been PP using CS3 tilt shift technique. If you need explanations how that works you best ask Mel ...hehe / Let me know what you think? / Make sure you check the colour version too

  • Monsal Head viaduct in the Peak District. Variation on an earlier theme.

  • I visit here and play with the trains every day during the week, although they only usually let me have a go with the old red ones. A bit of tilty-shifty-faky fun – taken with my little Canon IXUS 85IS

  • Taken while driving over the Coronado bridge on a very foggy evening. Canon 40D / Lensbaby Composer – 4.0 / ISO 1600 / 45 mph

  • La Mesa, CA / Canon 40D / Lensbaby Composer – 4.0 / Converted to Sepia

  • Faking Tilt Shift Photography In Photoshop
    by Alison Johnston

    From Wikipedia HERE _Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movement…

    From Wikipedia HERE Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium format cameras; it usually requires the use of special lenses. “Tilt-shift” actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to control perspective, often involving the convergence of vertical parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings. In many cases, “tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of tilt and a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field. Tilt shift faking is the process whereby we take a normal life size location or object and give it an optical illusion to make it appear as a miniature scale model. Probably the best images to use are those that look down on a subject i.e. from a high angle – this isn’t always the case though and a bit of fiddling in Photoshop will soon let you know if the image is suitable. Definately one of the easier effects to achieve in Photoshop – so lets get rolling. I would very much like to thank Steve Carter for the use of his image Shieldaig Village in February. Steve has some fabulous images of Loch Torridon and other places that I’ve never heard of :-) over at his site – which you can find HERE THIS is the link to the images of the latest local photos(Highlands) I have resized the image a little for the purpose of this tutorial. Please be respectful of Steve’s copyright to this image. Open the image, duplicate the image and close the original. Duplicate the image by dragging it to the create new layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette or pressing Ctrl + J on the keyboard. Make sure your f/ground is set to black and the b/ground to white then click on the gradient filter, go to the top toolbar and make sure the filter is set to f/ground to b/ground i.e. black to white and click on the Reflected Gradient icon. Next click on the Quick Mask Icon at the bottom of the side toolbar, or press Q on the keyboard. In this particular image, you want the main row of houses to be in focus, see the image below for the start and finish position I used for the gradient. Once you have done that, the mask will appear, exist quick mask mode by clicking on the icon on the side toolbar, or pressing Q on the keyboard – marching ants will appear. Next you need to go to Filter>Blur>Lens Blur and the teeny weeny dialogue box will open :) I did adjust my gradient after previewing it in the Lens Blur dialogue box, just take it a little bit higher than shown in the example above. You can punch in the same settings as I have, see image below. Most miniatures are painted bright colours, so next you are going to use a Hue and Saturation adjustment layer to boost the colours. Click on the little ying yang symbol at the bottom of the layers palette (create new adjustment layer) and choose Hue/Saturation from the menu. On the Master, pump the colours up quite a bit, I chose +60 on the saturation slider – just watch what is going on with the houses, you are going to add a mask in a minute so the changes only apply to the part that is in focus. Hold down the Alt key and click on the add layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette. Grab a soft edged white brush and making sure the mask is active by clicking on it, paint back in the colour to the houses, road, cars etc., all things that are in focus. You can boost the Saturation a little more if you want by double clicking on the adjustment layer thumbnail. And there we have our miniature village. I went ahead and added a small amount of sharpening to the houses. Bear in mind that the settings used are relevant to this image 800×507@72dpi.

  • I found this suitcase in an abandoned house and was struck by its pattern. Tilt Shift lens so very little focus and a lot of visual.

    Remember the fun we had creating Little Planets? Well here’s another cool technique we think you might enjoy playing around with. Tilt shift miniature photography uses a technique where a tilt shift lens is used to make real life scenes appear as miniature scale models. / / The good news for those who don’t have the budget for an expensive lens is that this effect can easily be achieved using photo editing software like PhotoShop or Gimp (which is free). Below are some amazing tilt shift miniatures from around the web to get you inspired: / Keith Loutit’s time-lapse tilt-shift videos / Serpentine by Harald Kirr / Harvard Book Store by Azripal / Tiltshift, outside Waterloo station by Cloudsoup Keen to give this a try?

  • Just playing around with this tilt shift effect. Stanley Hotel Estes Park Co. / Canon 40d

  • Playing around a bit more with tilt-shift.. A view from the Omni Hotel & Villas in Cancun, Mexico Just beginning to work with the process and I’m always welcome to comments/suggestions! Thanks for viewing

  • An attempt at tilt-shift on the magnificant Vatican in Rome, Italy. This form of tilt-shift was done post in Photoshop unlike the traditional way through a specific lens. I’ve found quite a few really good tutorials on the subject but the one that helped me the most and was the simplest I think can be found here

  • Passing storms with patches of bright sunshine in between created the perfect light for a controlled time lapse of the swell off the tip of Big Nobby at Crescent Head, NSW. This shot was taken using the Canon TS-E 24mm f3.5L Tilt+Shift lens rotated 45 degrees to allow a vertical tilt shot at +8 degrees. Canon EOS 5D Mark II / Canon TS-E 24mm f3.5L Tilt+Shift Lens with Hoya HMC ND x400 Filter and Lee 0.9 Soft Grad ND Filter / ISO: 50 / Aperture: f5.6 / Speed: 6 seconds / Focus: Manual / Image: Single RAW file / Location: As above Best viewed large See also Sun And Swell At Big Nobby – Part 1

  • This is my first attempt at creating the tilt shift effect in Photoshop. Best viewed large This is the Trocadero, Paris, capital city of France. I took this from the top of the Eiffel Tower. The Trocadero is one of the few vantage points where the Eiffel Tower can be seen in full view. I don’t have many ariel view shots in my collection of photos, but this one thankfully served as a good image for this particular effect. For details on how I created this, please see here. Anyone who has photoshop or a photo editing program can do this. Adjustment of hue saturation and brightness, increase and adjustment of curves to increase contrast and colour further. Slight crop of original shot, as seen below. Couldn’t resist adding this after pmistric brought it to my attention. Its the sing-a-long version!!: MCN:C7XFY-U98AX-BYVB6
