06-10-09 – Tilt-Shift Faked Miniature Scenes
-
Thanks to all for the responses. They were helpful in that I think the people are a distraction, but not a dealbreaker. If I choose this one I will likely just increase the blur and hope that makes a difference.
Also, as you get further from the plane of “focus”, the blur generally should increase.
I had 7 layers in most of my entries, with crazy layer masks handling the transitions. You could get away with less if you have less overall blur.
It’s hard to tell on that picture because the area is so shallow but I did apply the blur on a gradient. Only on one separate layer however. I certainly may try multiple layers now, although seven is quite an amazing dedication!
It’s logos and advertising that make my brain go into “something wrong” mode on miniatures. I think it’s a case of “if it’s clear enough to read, the person put way too much work into trivial detail”.
I have an image that I’m fighting with because I can’t effectively crop a billboard out, and it’s distracting to the rest of the image along with “why is there a detailed ad?”
oh, god, you people are way over-thinking this. I don’t think it’s who makes the most believable miniature scene, it’s who gets the coolest photo at the end of things. I think the votes are going to go on overall impact, not fine-level detail.

Soooo… how is this different than any other week?

You write that as if it is surprising. 🙂 One of the things I like about this community is that my OCDish tendencies are, like, normal.
/the others don’t consider it normal to be up at 4 AM taking photos of glaciers. But we do! And we love you because of it.
//not enough to give you a man-hug though.

point taken. I just never considered whether people in the shot would detract.
Yeah, I have a lot of time on my hands and can’t leave the house all day, so these things happen.

Overthinking has been the norm around here lately. A few weeks ago there was a debate over the definition of a shadow 🙂
I’m just running stuff through the website, if it looks cool I keep it if not I delete.
I think that collectively, tonight’s contest is going to be a pretty cool page to scroll through.
dammit, can you nuke my first two? I screwed up the HTML.
Great minds think alike Elsinore

I was just going to ask about that. Was that planned or are you two really just on the same wavelength tonight?!
Also, sorry for the premature outburst Elsinore and Morningbreath. I got a little excited and, well… yeah, it happens sometimes… 😳
