You may recall some time back, I posted about the tilt-shift fad sweeping the online photographic world. This is where a photograph (and increasingly video – no, really) of a real place is manipulated to make it look like a photo of a miniature.
Well, I’ve been fiddling about in Photoshop:
These images were taken last summer, with this experiment in mind, at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Quainton Road, Bucks. There’s a distinct knack to getting the blurred areas looking right, and rather too much time spent with layer masks and soft-edged brushes. Working out the detailed areas where the depth of field ought to be sharpest is fun, too.
Will I do it again? Not really. It was fun to try, and the effect can be stunning when done properly, but it’s not something I feel will enhance my work. I’m definitely not about to rush out and buy a proper TS lens, either!
