- vivalanation734, on 06/19/2009, -5/+34tiltshift is the new HDR.
both suck - ShootTheCore, on 06/19/2009, -2/+25Not the best tilt-shifting I've seen tbh, too many of them are too crudely blurred or too blurred at the bottom!
- vyshemirsky, on 06/19/2009, -3/+16It's not even a real tilt-shift, just a photoshop blur with a mask. The focus plane is inconsistent in many photos, so definitely photoshop.
- geesamba, on 06/19/2009, -2/+13You mean "the US Capital looks astonishingly like that building in the background". The designers of the US capital were heavily influenced by European designs.

- Sepeteus, on 06/19/2009, -0/+10Great... Another set of overdone tilt-shift photos. When used correctly with moderation, tilt-shifting can add more depth to a well composed photograph but these are just mostly boring.
- KayIslandDrunk, on 06/19/2009, -1/+10Hmmm, if you enjoy the way it makes everything look like miniature toys doesn't that automatically make you a fan?
- eanbowman, on 06/19/2009, -0/+6http://cgi.ebay.ca/Hartblei-3-5-65-Tilt-Shift-Supe ...
So it'll cost me $850 US, almost a grand CAD to get into this stuff. Yikes. :C
This hobby just gets more and more expensive! - RudeTurnip, on 06/19/2009, -0/+6When will it be?
- Dronez, on 06/19/2009, -2/+8And I like the way black and white film makes black and white photographs.
- slashdotordigg, on 06/19/2009, -2/+7OH MY EYES!!!!!
(putting some tear drop into my eyes)
and Here is what i expected to see:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e ... - LoneWolf01, on 06/19/2009, -0/+5I really, really want to burn photo 12. It's unimaginably bad. It looks nothing like an actual tilt-shift lense would capture.
They really shouldn't brand photoshopped photos as tilt-shift if it's obviously not done with an actual tilt-shift lense. - havek23, on 06/19/2009, -4/+8Looks like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
- spj36, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3that's what she said
- jamcubed, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3The only good picture was the first one.
Shame because this was a real opportunity to show some really good photos of London with an interesting perspective. Instead we just get some half baked ideas that didnt really work, i.e the train, the bird eye shots and the 2 stadiums are lame.
Could have been really good if they followed the first photo with st pauls in the background, with other landmarks like big ben or buckingham palace. - createcontent, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3 Tilt Shift,the new HDR...If your gonna make it look like a scale model,then go whole hog.
http://zinzi.us/?p=218 - Thumper13, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3You can get a similar effect much cheaper.

No, photoshop always looks like photoshop. Use a lens. - dmurphy04, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2I raise your tilt-shift photo with a tilt-shift video.
If you haven't seen them, Ross Ching's tilt shift videos are amazing (thanks, Digg, for bringing them to my attention months back): http://rossching.com/eclectic30/ - okitasan, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Those were pretty meh.
- ShootTheCore, on 06/19/2009, -2/+4That'll be St Paul's Cathedral
- duriej, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2That building is St. Paul's Cathedral built between 1675 and 1710.
- Zoshchenko, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Maybe it's just cynical me, but after the novelty wears off (like after the third photo), I'm like, yeah, so?
- Roobix, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Not real tilt shift.
- Vesuvias, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2I have to attest, the Lensbaby is AWESOME
- AlyxVance, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2This is the Bizaah thing!
- slimjim5811, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2That's not tilt-shift photography.
- MacGyver2210, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3The picture in Wikipedia under "Tilt-shift Lenses" is from 1858. Sounds not-new to me.
- roxics, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3New? I wouldn't call either new.
- shommytimko, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1"And the whole wide world is a tiny town
Full of tiny ideas
With each tiny heart pumpin' up and down
Come be tiny with me" - XkenX87, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oregon_State_Bea ...
Tilt-shift from wikipedia. - arobar, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2The accompanying text explains that that's exactly what he did. He didn't make it a secret.
- MacGyver2210, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Yoink. Found my new horizon pic for my rooftop game level.
- tr909, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Tilt-shift/SwingTilt was abused all through the 90's in commercials and music vids. Hardly new. We just escaped that look a decade ago and the youngin's think it's new all over again :(
- jlowe64, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1I think the British fog is what messed some of the pictures up. Also, some of the angles were off, so it just made it look like a blurry picture.
- eanbowman, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1All it seems to do is add a vignetting effect. Tilt-shift actually uses physical modifications to remove a bit of the perspective projection from the photo AFAIK.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photograph ...
You might be able to do this effect digitally at the loss of some quality where you end up expanding a bit of the photo to make the projection less pronounced. This will never be as good as just buying the lens, though. :P

AUGH! $1000~ -_-; - DeadSkinMask, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2I'd say it looks more like Cuba's capital building...
http://medir.ohsu.edu/~hersh/cuba/capitolo.jpg - falser, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2Cutting edge stuff. Just needs more lens-flare. And maybe add a Comic Sans title with drop shadow.
- bazzarr, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Photos 7, 8, 9 and 10 suck.
- Masterful1, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1its amazing how the "fake" tilt shifting can add a whole hell of a lot of cars to the street, and change their color.
- LoneWolf01, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1***** music isn't new either, it's just popular again.
- UselessTrivia, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Yeah I noticed that too. Either he's lying and that isn't a "fake" tilt-shift, or he took several pictures and mixed up the before/after shots. They're obviously taken a fair time apart from one another. You can tell by the shadow the building casts in the "original" that the sun is behind the building and somewhat to the right. In the "fake" tilt-shift the sun is either directly overhead or the shadows have all been photoshopped away.
I can't decide whether his "fake" is actually not fake, or if he just screwed up and compared the wrong two images. Maybe I'll run a photo through this website to see if the results are anywhere near as convincing. - GeorgeStone2, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Fog? This isn't london in the 1800's. We have the congestion charge now :P
- cugar, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1junk, gj with photoshop, the only 2 that register correctly to the eye are the last two because theres no objects in the foreground, look i can apply blur to the top and bottom yay tilt-shift!
- loneraver, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1wow, you beat me to it.
- londoniscool, on 06/27/2009, -1/+1The point of this second rate and rather uncool picture is, I wish I knew.........
http://londoniscool.com - CrayonNo9, on 06/20/2009, -0/+0The program has a button to change to linear blur. (default is radial) The center point can also be selected. With a little work and the right image, this seems to do a good fake tilt-shift.
The price is right if nothing else. (free) - alanocu, on 06/21/2009, -1/+1And you came to that conclusion after realizing that America will only achieve greatness if it were Cuba?
- randmcnally, on 06/19/2009, -1/+1you missed the point.
- takemo, on 06/19/2009, -0/+0Real tilt-shift has the same problem.
- takemo, on 06/19/2009, -0/+0You are half right about why that program does it wrong. The other half is that where it does add blurring is wrong. The intensity of the blur should be based on a linear (usuallly vertical) gradient. Not radial. This program basically just blurs everything around the center of the image.
You are fully wrong when you say something like "Tilt-shift actually uses physical modifications to remove a bit of the perspective projection from the photo AFAIK" which doesn't even make sense. -
