1. Practice 2. Practice 3. Practice I spend a lot of time (maybe too much) just farting around with Photoshop and other processing software just to pick up a technique I may use later. If you can't swing Photoshop, try GIMP. It's free. Then Google GIMP (or Photoshop) tutorials and follow along. You'll learn. Just takes practice.

Today I felt like spending an hour or so during a work break to check out tilt-shift photography. I found tutorials on how to do this using any picture. Of course it would be better to use a tilt-shift lens, but those are expensive and require some time to learn how to use them. I decided to check out the photoshop/post-processing route just for fun.
Here’s one I came up with. The original photo isn’t all that great, and there was no editing done on it to save time. What do you think of the tilt-shift version? Original: Tilt-shift:

Very cool. You might try shifting the "clear" area up a tad, but otherwise it transforms this pic into something really cool.
The base image itself is interesting. Where is that? Looks like a cool place to hang out on a summer's eve. I tried this technique with an image of my Z4 in my driveway. It worked pretty well, although I was a newb at PS at the time. I should go back and try it again.

Seth,
This is the link to the tutorial I used, although there are many out there: http://martybugs.net/blog/blog.cgi/p...tTutorial.html Seeing this page was my inspiration though. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008...t-photography/

EDIT: n/m, I figured out what you meant. Yeah, I should've cleaned it up beforehand, but I didn't want to spend more than a couple minutes on this initial trial.

Just curious, do you know anything about these structures? Can anyone just "build onto" the existing floating village? Must be a very cool place to spend the summer.

I'd be lying if I told you I knew much about these. I think these were built along the docks in empty spaces. I think right now they are all taken up, and it's very expensive to own one of those. One of the boathouses (not in this particular pic) was supposedly in the movie Sleepless in Seattle (which I haven't seen).

They are pretty expensive, imo. It's prolly not worth buying unless you have a true passion for it (kind of like a dedicated macro lens), or if you have a paying client who wants a job professionally done.

Do you have a preferred rental vendor? I'd be interested if they'd ship to the cornfields.
