Edinburgh & Princes Street

[tiler65]

Went to Edinburgh with the wife and little 'un.

Did lots, saw lots and shot lots. we even popped in to see our very own Edinburgh Gary and his new studio/shop.

Here is one from the hundreds we took ( my little girl even gets to shoot with my stuff and she is not even 5 yet)

Very weird DoF effect - sorry I don't like it.

Very weird DoF effect - sorry I don't like it.

This Toy Town effect is a bit 'Marmite' just like HDR to some - I like HDR, but for me this is Marmite - and I don't like Marmite

Sorry don't like the effect either, as I thought it was a model when I first looked at it.

 

[jockwav]

No sorry seen a lot from the castle,dont really like this one,what lens did you use.:shrug:

 

[Graham00]

As soon as i saw it i thought was a model village, where's Forth St from there ?

 

[bindex]

Tilt shift?
It's getting knocked back a bit, but it looks ok to me. Different from the norm anyway

cheers

 

[bobiscuit]

Really like that ! What did you use to get the tilt shift effect?

Definitely gotta try that some time

 

[Sparkles33]

I like it - it looks like a miniture!

 

[Northstar100]

There's a few who don't seem to get this for some reason, but I think you succeeded and I like it.

 

[jockwav]

Well you either like or dislike.:shrug:

 

[stumpybrown]

I like it, it's a bit surreal. Almost expect to see the Fat Controller along Princes St

I saw this earlier and meant to comment then. I think the effect is great and really suits the shot. And I do like marmite

I think Gordon Brown's from Fife

Very different, at first glance i too thought it was a model, I have some shots from similar angles, but nothing like that!

Like it!

I like it, have you tried blurring out the sides? I also like marmite

 

[babytiger]

I really like this it looks like a miniature .How did you achieve this effect please ?

 

[JessLK]

I like this, but don't like Marmite

 

[mercedes]

I love it - Tilt shift lens or the tilt shift software?

 

[On the Huh]

I love Marmite!
Lots of people are asking how you did this. Tilt & Shift? PS? or perhaps a Lensebaby?
Like it, but not the sort of thing I'm in to.

 

[tiler65]

Thanks for the response

I know it is not to everybodys taste but I don't do it often and thought it would work.

For those who need to know how it is done..............

This is fake by the way, all done in photoshop.

Use this tutorial to get a general idea for it. I did this one slightly different but only because I prefer doing it with a normal mask and not a gradient.

Do a search for fake tilt shift or toy town effects and you we see some absolutely stunning shots.

For AWP........... Merry Christmas.

 

[mrgas]

very well done *** !

 

[Trappe]

I like the effect.
