Faking the Tilt-Shift

Alex Christianson — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:52:01 +0000

I spent a good hour the other night looking over Canon and other branded Tilt-Shift lens and as much as I’d love to own a tilt-shift lens, I can’t justify spending £1000+ on a lens that I’d only use for fun.

Having dribbled over the equipment for a good hour or so, I came to realise that I don’t really need to sell my left arm, my mother and my soul to buy a tilt-shift lens… I can just fake it in good old Photoshop.

So, again… after another ten minutes-ish of messing around in Photoshop, I think I may have cracked it. I think a little more practice is required on selecting the correct picture and the focal area, but with that said, I don’t think my test tilt-shits are that bad.

Photomingle

Not so long ago, I mentioned how KWU Weddings (based in the USA) had a new and exciting product/service to offer the wedding industry which has been aptly named Photomingle; a unique and fun way to display your wedding photographs – in real time.

“PhotoMingle™ is an intuitive, easy to use mutli-touch system that displays photos in realtime from your wedding (52” wide!). While one guest is flipping through a slideshow of your photos, another is writing a message on the back of a snap shot they just took of themselves!”

From what I’ve read and seen so far, the trade shows and response to the Photomingle unit has been incredible (no surprise there then!)

Head on over to their website at www.photomingle.com and check out the video, see it working in all it’s glory!

Photomingle is definitely one to keep your eye on – it’s going places! And on that note, if you’re looking for something unique for your wedding, why not give KWU Weddings a call, see what they can do for you.

Holiday Planning…

So, it’s that time of the year again where we’re planning our holiday to Koh Samui (Thailand) and this time, we’re planning things a little better.

This time around, we’ll get to venture off the beaten track a little more, see more of the surrounding islands and generally have a much better time, not that last time was bad, it was great… but this time, with planning and extra money; it’ll be much better!

Here are some pictures from last years holiday, enjoy.

Back soon
