I have been playing around with iPhone and tiltshift and here is the result:








I hope owners/original photographers do not have any probs with these pics.

I love that effect

Looks like a matchbox model

the tunnel one is by far the best

Good effort all in all, with tilt shift (or a very very narrow DOF which you have done with photoshop here) your best off keeping strait lines with a high view. This allows for a better perspective

Thanks for the comments, I didn't use Photoshop though, I just used an app on the iphone and spent about 30 seconds on each photo http://www.creativeapplications.net/iphone/tiltshift-iphone/

Only did it for fun but the effects seem pretty cool.

well that's quite impressive with a i-phone!

Try using full soom on this effect. Will increase the 'scale model' look.

they look like toys!! is that the whole idea, or is it about perspective?

I didn't know the Iphone had a "dirty lens"effect

Looks good though!

The idea is to make a scene look like it is of toys/models. If you google "Tilt shift" you will some amazing images.

What a load of tosh. i just googled it and found loads of images that just have random focus. You could do the same with raindrops on yer lens or a bit of cheap plastic magnifying glass. Tilt/Shift movements are proper mechanical movements found on medium and large format cameras and used (along with rising fronts and backs) to correct perspective. I won't go into detail as we're obviously (as found on google) fighting a rising tide of i-phone fanatics.

ha ha you've changem my mind. They do look cool. like little models. That 1st ones great.

Do wish they'd called it something else though. They should be sued by ansel Adams

I bet there's not two dozen people here bar thee and me who know who Ansel Adams was and why he's important...

(I have an Adams book with some of his prints - proper prints, not lithos... very nice!)

And I second: if you want tilt and shift, get a tilt and shift lens and do it right. It's not something that can be done properly without one; you can't shift a focus plane by image processing.

Yes it surprises me that this "technology" has been given the "tilt shift" label when it's not replicating the real principle, it's just "technology" to fuzzy up your camera phone pictures and somehow make them seem even better than they aren't in the first place.

We used to buy Ansel Adams calenders every year when we lived in the US (and when we came back to the UK too, cheap copies of course, what do you expect for 10 bucks!
