Tilt Shift Experiment – Part 2

A friend and I took a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway and wound up snapping a few shots around her beautiful campus. I took one shot specifically to play around with in Photoshop using the tilt-shift mimicking technique that I mentioned in a previous post. Basically, by manipulating the areas of focus within the image, it seems more like a miniature scale model rather than the real thing.

After getting a few requests to see the original, I included it below. Believe it or not, I didn’t touch the sky in this image. It was really that gorgeous up in Malibu that day.

    WOW!! That is really cool. I have yet to use CS3. I bet it’s even better than CS2. How does the original photo look?

    This really does make it look like a model set-up. I like how you can augment reality but still make it seem real. Pretty scary though. Would be great for Real Estate brochures..ha ha ha I used to sell RE) You PhotoShop pro’s must be able to do anything! But your original pic is beautiful too.
