I've been playing around with some post-processing and put together a few false tilt-shift miniatures. I've posted a Colorado one here (it is the RMNP forum, after all), but the better ones are from some recent traveling I've done. Check them out here and let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking...

Where in the WORLD did you come up with this idea??? That is totally cool! Some clearly work better than others, but all work well. Mind-blowing stuff, Jeff.

Awesome Jeff! I've played with this technique just a couple times (made the Denver Nuggets players look like miniatures :biggrin: ), but man, you have it down! "Market,Jodhpur, India" is phenomenal! I definitely want to play with this some more!

Todd, check this out: Tilt Shift Technique

Very cool! I love the castles in Ireland!

Brent, thanks for the technique, I'll have to play around with it soon :smile:

Very cool stuff, Jeff. I've played around with this technique too, but never came away with anything I liked. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great stuff! That's such an interesting effect. Have you seen Keith Loutit's tilt/shift time-lapse work? Pretty amazing.

Pretty cool stuff. I enjoyed that time lapse site, Jack. It looks comical and toy like at times.

That's crazy good!

Thanks for looking. I used the Photoshop technique described in the link Brent provided. Clearly some of these work better than others; now that I've done a few, I'll hope to shoot sometime with the post-processing technique in mind in order to take better advantage of it.

Jack -- That video is incredible! I've watched it a few times already and am really amazed.

Great stuff Jeff, I agree some are better than others but they are all way cool. :biggrin:
