i stumbled across this guys blog when I was looking for Lensbaby photos .. and i noticed this one particular photo. Anyone ever done shots like these before ? http://www.laforetvisuals.com/index.php#s=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&p=3&a=0&at=0
Canon 60D can do that processing to the image IN camera... whoh hoo... not that I've tried it yet. Otherwise, you can fake it in photoshop - google it "miniaturize photoshop" you'll find some tutorials. The key to the effect... is the STARTING IMAGE. The effect doesn't work unless you got the right kinda photo to start with. You can sorta kinda do it with the lensbaby (rather than a tilt shift) but you'd need the wide angle one - and it also still takes some photoshop work - you'll notice those images always have other processing done to get the right look - they always have the saturation tuned up and the contrast enhanced a bit.
I have used the feature in my 60D. I enjoy it though it doesn't seem to perform as well as a tilt shift lens or the lensbaby.
You can fake it with Photoshop or onOne FocalPoint2 http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/suite/focalpoint/?ind PS Tutorial: http://www.tiltshiftphotography.net/photoshop-tutorial.php
Heather, I thought about you today (and cake)... check it out - these are unremarkable photos I was simply testing out the feature. Like I said, my new Canon 60D - does Miniature-faking IN CAMERA, it works pretty well. Jelly? Here's a "before" for your reference:
Yes please Im pretty impressed .. but it IS a Canon .. so I'm not surprised Ive been trying to think of places to actually use it at . One idea I had .. my niece rides horses .. maybe that would look pretty cool .
I like the photos of towns from like a mountain top of something using tilt shifts, makes the towns look like something on a miniature railroad layout
Yea its pretty cool. I never tried this . Thanks for posting on it because i may do this when i have some time =)
I need to figure out how to do that feature in Photoshop elements. And now the P&S cam's have this feature??? Not going to lie I'm jealous LOL.
