- 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.
- haentz, on 06/19/2009, -2/+13What is this? A city for ants?
- 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.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol - 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?
- RudeTurnip, on 06/19/2009, -0/+6When will it be?
- 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! - Dronez, on 06/19/2009, -2/+8And I like the way black and white film makes black and white photographs.
- 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. - 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 ... - havek23, on 06/19/2009, -4/+8Looks like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
- 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. - spj36, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3that's what she said
- Thumper13, on 06/19/2009, -0/+3You can get a similar effect much cheaper.

No, photoshop always looks like photoshop. Use a lens. - 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 - MacGyver2210, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3The picture in Wikipedia under "Tilt-shift Lenses" is from 1858. Sounds not-new to me.
- slimjim5811, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2That's not tilt-shift photography.
- 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/ - 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.
- okitasan, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Those were pretty meh.
- Vesuvias, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2I have to attest, the Lensbaby is AWESOME
- Roobix, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2Not real tilt shift.
- 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?
- roxics, on 06/19/2009, -1/+3New? I wouldn't call either new.
- AlyxVance, on 06/19/2009, -0/+2This is the Bizaah thing!
- arobar, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2The accompanying text explains that that's exactly what he did. He didn't make it a secret.
- 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.
- 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 :(
- MacGyver2210, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Yoink. Found my new horizon pic for my rooftop game level.
- XkenX87, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oregon_State_Bea ...
Tilt-shift from wikipedia. - 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" - 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 - 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. - 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~ -_-; - bazzarr, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Photos 7, 8, 9 and 10 suck.
- LoneWolf01, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1***** music isn't new either, it's just popular again.
- 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.
- loneraver, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1wow, you beat me to it.
- GeorgeStone2, on 06/19/2009, -0/+1Fog? This isn't london in the 1800's. We have the congestion charge now :P
- falser, on 06/19/2009, -1/+2Cutting edge stuff. Just needs more lens-flare. And maybe add a Comic Sans title with drop shadow.
- 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!
- alanocu, on 06/21/2009, -1/+1And you came to that conclusion after realizing that America will only achieve greatness if it were Cuba?
- evil-doer, on 06/19/2009, -1/+1you can tell its photoshopped in that one with the stuff hanging down in the way in the foreground. why is that blurred the same way the background is, EXACTLY. the close stuff is in focus at the same point and would not be if you were focused on the background. its hard to explain but just look at it. you can tell its an artificial blur.
- londoniscool, on 06/27/2009, -1/+1The point of this second rate and rather uncool picture is, I wish I knew.........
http://londoniscool.com - 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. -
