Yesterday I fell in love with tilt-shift photography faking and now I want you to get in on the action.

For those of you who aren’t aware, tilt-shifting is essentially a trick for the eye to believe it is looking at some tiny model photograph. For examples and more check out this great Flickr search for tilt shift: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tilt+shift&s=int.

After browsing most of my aerial photographs taken over the last four years, I decided to see what was online and what I would be able to do with some of the photos there. I found a couple that turned out REALLY well for me:

These are fantastic examples of what you can do in a few very simple steps with Photoshop. I have a fairly average understanding of Photoshop and its various uses on photos (because I actually use it for mainly web design and layout). However, you can learn how to do this to your own photos by using this wonderful tutorial I found and followed: http://www.tiltshiftphotography.net/photoshop-tutorial.php.

Finally, I was made aware of this stop-motion tilt-shift fake video by a follower on Twitter: http://vimeo.com/2482776 and am aware that Thom Yorke may have used this style for one of his Harrowdown Hill videos.
