During a random surfing session I came across some tilt shift photos. I know that in photography tilt shift lenses are used to produce images with a very shallow depth of field. These images were photos of models, or so I thought. They looked very intricate and extremely well made.
Upon further investigation I found that they were normal photographs that had been processed to make them look like models. I found an online tilt shift maker site and had a go myself.
The primary consideration when making a tilt shift image is of course the photograph. Buildings work well especially when taken from a height or a distance. Details rather than vast vistas are good and having people to provide a sense of scale enhances the effect. So I had a go. The images below are ordered by quality of the tilt shift effect. The photo of the Lake Palace in Udaipur came out really well even though I thought it wouldn’t work.
