Enjoyed the tilt-shift photos. I am noticing that a lot of people overdo it on the tilt-shift photos by making the contrast between focus too extreme. I think the differences in focus need to be almost unnoticeable for it to work.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think you're right. There's definitely an art to it. I've also seen some post processing tilt-shift effects that are a little disturbing because they (in some cases) treat everything within a region of the photo as if it was the same distance from the camera. Just doesn't look right.
