My first fake tilt shift pics · 05:18 PM

I became fascinated with this effect when I saw some photos in a newspaper. Will have a go at making a DIY lens when I manage to get hold of an old Zeiss pentacon 6 lens, but in the meantime I had a play around with photoshop. Much fun had, quite pleased!

Very cool effect- I like the first shot a lot! Was it of a model set up? There's something about it that's telling me it wasn't real.

Then he must have done a good job eh?

The 4th and 5th ones are quite convincing to me.

Those are great, I like the boat shot the best, they really do look like little models. ...googling "fake tilt shift" now....
Thanks

Well I just used the blur tool in photoshop to blur the background and foreground. There are detailed tutorials around which use masking but it didn't work for me
