        I like that, mafu. I usually see tilt-shifts that are from a much higher angle, so having it be a more foreground/background difference is interesting. If I could offer an (unwanted?) suggestion, I think it would look even better if the contrast was boosted a bit.

        Inspired by this thread, I did one last night that I need to work on some more, but will post later. It's from a series of photos I took from the top of LA City Hall, and I didn't like how it turned out, but it seemed a good candidate for tilt-shifting.

          cheers

          FF - thats in greenwich (london) - the view is from the site of the royal observatory, the building in the foreground is called the Queen's House, then you've got the docklands and canary wharf in the background.

            I've been messing around this evening:

            But it's only about half-way there.

                  Can't get this to work - I can make things look pretty, but I can't make them look small. I shall soldier on.

                    Thanks, Inca.

                    What software are you using, Taylor?

                      The Gimp. I've never found it user-unfriendly, but then I've never tried to do anything that complicated with it.

                        Taylor, I did my first one of these with the GIMP, and then when I tried to do one again last night, I followed all the steps correctly, but messed up when using the gradient tool because I didn't have the correct layer selected, so I got to tilt-shift effect at all. Maybe something like that happened when you tried it.

                          Just looking through your Flickr stream 200% and I reckon this is by far and away the best tilt-shift you've done:



                          Amazing.

                            It's more than possible. I once created a full patch for an old Pro Evolution Soccer game, which involved massive re-jigging of almost every texture in the game - but I only know what I know, if you see what I mean. Ask me to use the gradient tool and I transform into a drunk ape. I suspect I'm screwing this up somehow.

                              Mafu, that Greenwich one is amazing. My best mate's university (Trinity College of Music) is in the left-hand half of the building in that photo and for a couple of years he lived in a flat just at the top of that park - it's one of my favourite views in all of London.

                                Yeah i love it too, i am close by there as well

                                a couple more, these from the south bank:





                                I found it's easiest (for me anyway) just to selectively lassoo different areas and then apply different amounts of blur. it comes out about the same but you have a bit more control

                                  In that last post, Mafu, have you tried the top picture with the basketball court in focus rather than the foregrounded spectators?

                                      Exactly what I was thinking.

                                        The one I thought of with this:


                                        (click for big)

                                        Never liked the original because of the drab lighting, and it's just kind of a mess. I know this one isn't great, because there isn't really a focal point. But I think it's enhanced with the tilt-shift.

                                        Another one I thought of is also from the top of City Hall, of the 101 freeway:

                                          These are great. I'd kind of fallen out of love with photoshoppery, and I'd forgotten how relaxing it is. Anyway:

                                          CTT: The picture of mine was of models (at the Science Museum, to be precise), but you already knew that, right? I might have a fiddle with those pictures tonight to see if I can do anything with them.

                                            This thread has reminded me that I meant to mention how good the Slinkachu book is,I bought it a few weeks ago as a gift and found it difficult to hand over.

                                            An example is here ;

                                              Ah, yeah. Those are awesome. I've seen a series made with Playmobil figures, but I can't remember where it is.
