Tilt-shift Goodness

by Dave on November 19, 2008 · 6 comments

I really dig tilt-shift photography. Something about how it all looks like beautifully detailed railroad models is so cool.

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.

When you’re done enjoying the tinyization(?!) of ordinary scenes, check out “Reverie“, a high-def film shot entirely on a Canon EOS digital SLR.

Holy cow, that is wild! I went to the link at the top. Those are so amazing. It is so much more than the angle, isn’t it? The colors seem unreal. Brighter than normal. …and the short depth of field is an interesting affect. They seem to have detail, but not a lot of detail.

Have you ever tried to create something like this??

*Sniff* Dave didn’t even post a copy of my tilt shift photo.

Shhhh…..it’s only a model.

I’m glad you did, Joe. I kind of rushed through this post. Yours was the first I ever saw!

I’ve never tried to do anything like this. I’d only be able to fake it in Photoshop; I don’t have an SLR with all its fancy settings.

Nice photo, Joe.
