A Few Tilt-Shift Attempts






Ok, going back through my pictures I see that I definatly tend towards the nature/pano pictures. Not enough city pictures to make miniatures. However, I took some things that I find interesting with a blur addition. Mostly just practice...

That looks so crazy. Why does it make everything look fake??

So the only thing I can come up with is that we've all seen Mr. Rodger's neighborhood...the shots of the model neighborhood...basically imagine you were taking a picture of a model town, you'd have to take pretty much a close up to make cars look a normal size, what happens when you take a close up is you have the subject right at the minimum distance at which you can still focus, and you typically use a small F#, though higher ones won't help much.

All of this adds up to have the stuff closer to you than the focal plane out of focus, and the stuff farther than the focal plane out of focus.

The larger question I'm wondering is would we still have the same reaction if we'd never seen Mr. Rodger's?

I guess it's the same thing as when you take the close ups of flowers and such, right?
