Wanna make your car look like a toy?

Take your photo and blur part of the foreground and part of the background leaving the car and a few items sharp. This is called a - tilt/shift effect.

Here are a few samples.

Oh yeah... Well if you wanna do it with your own car, that is how...

Yeah check out our photo section we've got some guys who are pretty good on here. I was speaking to you on AIM a while back by the way.

not only is there a tread about it, but the real way to do tilt shift has a bit more too it. all in all your tip is just adding blur to photos, which in most cases (including the above examples) looks fake and ruins photos. but thats just an opinion.

your highway photo is the only one of the bunch that looks anything like a tilt shift photo, and even that doesn't look real. First off the edge of your blur is very harsh.(not what a lens would produce) On top of that the two lanes of highway meet at the same horizon point but the right side is blurred and the left is crystal clear? Again that is un-natural and can only be accomplished in photoshop, no lens can produce that in real life. these details are what separates a good photo and a bad faked photo.

I know for any tilt shift to even look real if its faked, is it has to be a far shot.

That and I think from the minimal research I did, real tiltshift lenses can be "moved" so you could actually do it like that in the highway one, but it still looks realistic.

But then again I'm not that heavy into photography so I could be wrong....

The first picture looks fake as hell.. lol. The others don't look like toys.

grimm · 06-04-2009, 05:14 PM

opz, optically the none of those shots, including the highway shot is not possible to be achieved by ANY lens. yes a tilt shift lens can be tilted or shifted in position to the sensor. with that said it can not and will not create a harsh line between blur and focus. especially when the objects are at the same point in the horizon.

This is tutorial explains how to fake a tilt shift and make it look real. It was posted in the original thread that 97turbodsm posted.

I has a mac and very little hard drive space.

I will have PS soon though, through other, not as 'illegal' means though. Thanks though. (you might wanna take the link down, just in case ;))

Still need the dslr. I might try faking some tilt-shift videography one of these days
