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.

Happy Mother's Day

First off, Management would like it noted that she had to cook her own Mother's Day breakfast. Duly noted. However, this did ensure an enjoyable breakfast and avoided Mother's Day food poisoning and I think we can all agree, this is a good thing.



Ever tried to get a 3 and 4 year old to stand still for a picture? Loads and loads of FUN.



I've come to truly hate the way flashes wash all the colour out of photos so I was trying to take this morning's without, which is why they're in the kitchen in front of the patio window. Unfortunately this also means they have to stand relatively still.



That was the only picture taken with a flash and the only one that didn't come out blurry. Thing is, even the blurry ones are good in their own way and since I couldn't decide which one to use, I've used them all.



This one is my favourite. I'm not sure how flash preferences fit into Mother's Day greetings, but there it is. And since I have to go help fight Megatron so Mommy can cook some more for tonight's Mommy's Day feast, this is where it ends.

Happy Mother's Day to all my favourite Mommies.

Personal Paparazzo

That sounds like a pizza, but I digress. Methodizaz is a photography...studio? who... um... I'll let them explain it:

MethodIzaz is a unique photography experience. Subjects are unaware of the exact moment they will be photographed and of the photographer's identity. Instead, the subject is photographed completely naturally, living life as normal.

Which is kinda cool. No posing, no dressing up special for a picture, just you being you.
