Tilt shift your photos

A photo I took in Mobile, Alabama

I found a great little tool called TiltShift Maker, which fixes your photos so they look like miniatures. Here is a better explanation:

Tilt-shift miniature style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like model photographs.

It works best with photos that are taken from above, but you can get some pretty cool effects with other stuff too. Try it out and check out their Flickr group for more great photos.

    Great tool, but I’m using this tutorial to make the same effect in Photoshop :)

    The other way is to photograph with a tilt and shift lens ;-)

    That is really cool! Hey, I am a WooThemes fan and I am interested in creating one of my own themes and I ran across this and thought you might like a peek. I am going to try to integrate this into my theme if I can, but for a pro like you, I thought you might get some use from it too: http://www.gomediazine.com/tutorials/design-elegant-featured-content-slider-wordpress/

    Wicked cool beans.

    It looks like it just blurs the top half of the photo to mimic a macro shot. Word?

    The best is to use a TSE.
