60+ Examples Of Tilt-Shift Photography With Tutorials And More
Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by Shawn Ramsey in Inspiration
Tilt-shift photography takes advantage of two aspects of movement: rotation of the lens relative to the image plane (tilt), and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane (shift). Often times, special lenses are used with the camera to achieve the effect.
A popular application for tilt-shift photography is tilt-shift miniature faking. This is when the angle of a tilt-shift lens is manipulated in an effort to distort the depth of field of the image. By doing this, a scene may appear smaller than it truly is, and look as though it was fake or a miniature model of the scene.
Photoshop users have their own way to create “tilt-shift” without the expensive lenses. By playing with mask layers and lens blur (or gaussian blur), this same effect can be created allowing for more control of the blurred and sharp areas. Check out the tutorials below the showcase for more info on doing this yourself.
I now present my compilation of 60+ Examples Of Tilt-Shift Photography With Tutorials And More to help inspire you to create your own.

Do It Yourself
Here are a couple of links to sites that allow you to upload any image and apply tilt-shift to it without the need of photo-editing applications.
Tilt-Shift Generator
This online application gives you the ability to change the distance, strength and area of the blurred effect while also giving you control over the color (saturation, contrast, brightness) and quality of the final image. I used the Tilt-Shift Generator above to alter one of the images that I took in St. Lucia.

Tilt-Shift Maker
This tilt-shift generator also does a good job of creating the effect while still giving you some control. Again I tried it out with a vacation picture from St. Lucia, and it turned out pretty good.
