There is a new photography trick I am practicing. I don’t know what it is called, but I would like make the focused subject look like a tiny toy. I got this photo at Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. When our cruise ship leave the harbor, Mexico Federation solider are stand by and check up with any illegal activities. So I snap this shot and used Photoshop magic to blur the sea water around the little boat. The boat is not the primary subject in the photo and stand out from the rest of the sea water. It somehow looks tiny.
I am not sure if you can see it the same way, but this won’t be the last phone I will do to minimize the object.
Thanks to Kristi from Photostry.com! This type of photography is called Tilt-Shift Effect.
Great use of the tilt-shift effect!
@Kristi:
Thank you for the name of the effect. I have no idea it is called tilt-shift effect. I have seen this type of technique all over the web and decided to give it a try. It was not too bad. 🙂
If you like that effect, there is a whole scene created in this effect in the movie “Social Network”. It’s the boat race scene.
@Clifford:
Thank you for stopping by. Do you like my new photography blog? 🙂
Well. I guess I should just rent the movie and take a peek. 🙂
I love the effect here! Perfectly executed!
