Gizmodo today had a post about Tilt Shift photography. Needless to say I thought it was really cool.

I have done a little reading on wikipedia to find out what it is, but I don't know the real world complexities of doing it.

Are the lenses expensive? Is it time intensive? Anyone here ever try it?

I am not a shutterbug so this is just a curiosity for me.

Stunning.

A mac laptop will shoot time lapse.

Guaranteeing that the camera will not move AT ALL is the hardest part.

The lenses are hardware (I assume)

I think these have had some post production helpage too - or - its the effect of the hardware being area based.

If you draw a line where the water starts to blur there are parts of the boat closer but blurrier.



I posted up how to apply gradient blur some time ago. I could get that same effect in batch processing. Would take a while though.

Still stunning whatever the mix.

Here's some here:

And:

Mostly, you need a wide angle lens, for the best effect, and be at an angle above the subject.

Then, you need a very shallow DoF, then use the lens blur too to make an even shallower DoF, and the gradient tool to smooth out the blur.
