Tilt shift photos only have a small part of the picture in focus.
It just looks strange because of the perspective / size of the objects

This Isn't a tilt shift lens. and it isn't natural blur from a low Aperture.

It is unnatural (i.e. done in photoshop) and was probably (over)done with a program like "Alien Skin Bokeh"

colincolincolin (Aug 12, 2009 at 15:41)

Cool photo, but it is NOT tilt shift... Tilt/shift refers to a LENS(or a lens movement on a view camera) not a plug-in for photoshop. If this was done in camera, why is the whole truck tack sharp, then the landing ramp is just as out of focus as the roof of the house? Optics just don't work that way! Read up on how a large format camera works and it should all come together...

That said, cool photo!

Mazekwon (Jun 6, 2009 at 9:12)

it is real, they just used a really good focal range on it, makes it looked all effed and miniature because your mind can't see what is in the background, so you can't focus on anything but the rider and the jump. and because the truck looks so small (because of the parked angle) against the house, it brings down the scale of the rider and everything.

dotca (Jul 2, 2009 at 0:57)

TILT SHIFT! It's a tilt shift photo... Only the lower 3rd is in complete focus, which makes the rest look small.

+ 1

Burker (Jul 2, 2009 at 9:45)

regardless of the angle, no photo technique can make the nearby truck look smaller than the SUV in the driveway - the depth of field is totally inaccurate.

+ 2

jameshealey (Jul 2, 2009 at 20:55)

Dotca it is what we call a fake tilt shift. It is created with photoshop most of the time. It's a real photo. I've done one like this before. A real tilt shift though would have had the bottom of the photo also out of focus.

Good try though. the effect is good minus a few editing errors like the front of the truck. To get a better effect "more natural" use a wide gradient tool, the one that ads a gradient to both side though. You will get a better effect and smoother transition between the out of focus and the in focus.
