Tilt Shift

The other day, Eric from Oh My God I'm A Daddy infected me with that 6th file, 6th picture meme that's been going around. My photos aren't arranged in files and even if they were, I'm a meme cheater.




See, I didn't even take that picture. That's Amalfi, and while I have been to Italy, I didn't get that far south. Does the picture look a little weird? Click on it and make it bigger.

Back? Kinda looks like a little model, right? How about this?



Looks a bit like a model airplane, but it's a real one at Frankfurt airport. It's done using something called tilt shift which alters the image to make it look like a miniature. I've been seeing these pictures for awhile, but now there's a website called Tilt Shift Maker where you can do it yourself. It's super easy too. I think the effect looks best on cityscapes rather than people, but you can still do some interesting stuff. It can also enhance the colours of the picture as well which is nice. Unfortunately I don't have many city type photos but I did have fun playing with others.







Go try it, but be warned, it's addictive. Oh. This is supposed to be a meme. Um... if you have a vowel in your name you have to try this and post it in a blog that has absolutely nothing to do with the photo. Maybe don't even mention the picture so readers are really confused, 'cause that's funny.
