Faking and expensive tilt-shift lens

Of course the picture was taken with a normal lens. With PS, without filters, you can create this effect quite easily. Here's one tutorial: http://martybugs.net/blog/blog.cgi/p...tTutorial.html If you Google Fake shift tilt, you can find some very funny, interesting pictures. Specially those taken from above look like it's some miniature street or scene. -- Focus |

Specially those taken from above look like it's some miniature street or scene. Neat. I did something similar to this image: http://www.redbubble.com/people/john...-veteran-vespa In this case the gradient mask was on the whole street surface, and the scooter was meticulously traced so it would be sharp. And this was before finding any such tutorial - heck, I didn't know what a "tilt-shift" lens was then, though I've since learned and would like to get one some day. I was only trying to amplify the DOF to emphasize the scooter without the effect being too obvious. I encountered one problem: With such sharp masking the blur would pull color from the bike into the background, making a halo. I had to make a cloned layer to blur, cloning the adjacent background colors into the bike a bit to get a more realistic blur. Then I masked the unaltered bike back in. |

But you lost me somehow with the technical part. With the Ferrari I had now problem with the colors bleeding in the background. BTW: I see these scooters every day here in Portugal. Same condition too, mostly with older man riding them. -- Focus |

If you're doing it according to the tutorial it looks like it includes a bit of feathering around the masking that probably serves to deemphasize that effect. I wanted the scooter good and sharp. Likewise with this later example: http://www.redbubble.com/people/john...woodsman-rests For that one the foreground object was simpler, but extending the hidden portions of all those branches and grave markers was a bit of a job. :) BTW: I see these scooters every day here in Portugal. Same condition too, mostly with older man riding them. Mine I spotted parked across the street while we were out for a walk. I ran over for the shot. Fortunately, for me and the shot, traffic was light. :) |

You cannot do that in Photoshop with a single image. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

I use "Depth Of Field Generator PRO". I used to muck about with all that silly edge editing to prevent the color/tone-bleed. This program does it for you, better than you can do by hand. |

Partly true, a simple tilt-shift lens is not a complete substitute for a full view camera with tilting film back and lensboard which DO allow the depth of field to be non parallel to the film/image plane. And you cannot do that with lens aperture alone. MrT. |
