The boat
Tilt shifting is a cool photo technique I’d like to get better at but unfortunately I don’t think all motives work for this. It is my experience that the effect of a miniature world is bigger when seen from above, like in this photo from the harbour of Gothenburg.

Fake or real?
I have so much fun making my old photos into miniatures that you get another one today. This one shows another view from the same hot air balloon trip as the one from yesterday.

Here’s another picture for the new category called Miniatures. This one was actually shot from the air and shows a small part of the area that belongs to the military. I do hope they won’t send me to jail for revealing this to the general public;)

Miniatures, the birth of a new category
Today we take a look at a new category here on Gatsten. A while ago I saw a cool picture while browsing some photo page and decided that was something I wanted to try out. I tried to google it and finally learned something about it. In order to get the desired effect a new lens, called a tilt shift, was however needed. That made me give up on that project but yesterday I found a new page that actually recommended using a normal lens and creating the effect in Photoshop later on. That started up some activity over here and after some trial and error I think I got the basics of it:)
So what’s so special about it? Well, as you hopefully can see, the lower and upper part of the picture gets a rather heavy lens blur rendering thus creating the effect of a miniature world. I think the technique is rather cool and you’ll be seeing some old favorites of mine being re-touched in this category. I hope you approve:)
It needs to be seen in its full size so please press.
