It looks like miniature. That’s what I think when looking the picture above. Don’t you think the same?
Tilt-Shift, actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift.
Movements have been available on view cameras since the early days of photography. Nikon introduced a lens providing shift movements for their 35 mm SLR cameras in the mid 1960s and Canon introduced a lens that provided both tilt and shift movements in 1973 many other manufacturers soon followed suit. Canon and Nikon each currently offer several lenses that provide both movements. Such lenses are frequently used in architectural photography to control perspective, and in landscape photography to get an entire scene sharp.
Some photographers have popularized the use of tilt for selective focus in applications such as portrait photography. The selective focus that can be achieved by tilting the plane of focus is often compelling because the effect is different from that to which many viewers have become accustomed. Walter Iooss Jr. of Sports Illustrated, Vincent Laforet, Ben Thomas, and many other photographers have images using this technique on their web sites.
There are two ways to create tilt-shift photo. First, using proper lense, example: Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L.
Second, using Photoshop. This is the fun part, because you don’t need to spend $1,150 for special lens to create tilt-shift photo. What you have to prepare is a photo that taken from height. Like this:
1. Masking
Select [Lasso Tool] with Feather: 50 – 100, mask you main area and then invert the selection: [Select] – [Inverse].
See the result below:
2. Blur Effect
Select [Filter] – [Blur] – [Gaussian Blur] and adjust radius
Once get blur effect, click [OK] and then remove selection by [Select] – [Deselect]
3. Make More Realistic
Increase contrast and saturation. This is depend on your need, if you have other better idea it would be good
4. Result
It’s fun! ^^
