that is so cool Iggy. How did you do that?
Gimp! Grabbed a photo that seemed to fit the profile for this type of treatment. You want a photo where you are looking down on something. Next I copied the layer and added a layer mask. The bottom layer was blurred using gaussian blur and the top layer was sharpened using the unsharp mask. The tricky part was using the layer mask to let the blur show through wherever the building wasn't. Is that clear as mud?
well it's so cool. I can't figure out this whole masking thing at all!!!:wall-an:
Very cool IG. I spent ages on flickr looking at this trying to work out if it actually was a model or not. The only thing that make me think it was a fake tilt/shift image(and not actually a model) was the blurring in the foreground just looks a little too straight and not gradual enough.
I want to give the fake tilt/shift effect a go one day too.
Yeah, Im totally lost on this process as well. I like what youve done here though. Good work, but I agree with that line at the bottom. Good job overall.
Lol, very cool! There is an application going around flickr that does the fake tilt and shift thing. Here When I first saw it I thought it was a Lens Baby,
This is soooooooooooooo neat Ig...very nicely done.
