I dont get it...
Its called depth of field.. You use a small appeture like 3.5 to get a small depth of field like in this picture
Really nice photo! Love the way the out of focus house is pushed to the background and the rider, ramp, and truck are super clear and really stand out.
It is all in proportion only thing that is different is the Depth of field nothing else is changed...i will upload original to show difference.
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"

i'm not gonna lie i wish i was high and this pic is crazy i have been wanting to do that for so long with my friends cars
To anyone who still doesn't get what Tilt-Shifting is, I made a tilt shift photo of a previous POD.

It is basically making far away shots look miniature.

i like it, i almosts thought it was fake, but i have a weird feeling its not, so it gets my vote, 5 thumbs up 
some one probably arleady said this

i love it , sooo sick

yeah reall r u seriuos man look at POD on " thatdownhillkid's" profile it's way better than this one
i wrote that when i was drunk, who cares its a picture anyways. but he most definatly used a blur tool
pretty sure it says i wrote that on the 15th. Which was a saturday, and pinkbiking while your drunk is awesome you should try it.
OKay pretty much sad pink biking when your drunk is awsome.. or not , maybe if you have a sad life and have to get drunk to have fun, or not social drink :/ Prick.
ANYWAYS. I, along with everyone else who has commented here is getting sick of the notifications from your little bi**h fight.
Take it to the noteboards, please.
Take it to the noteboards, please.
i get hammered at parties then come home drunk and go on pinkbike at like 2am f*g, and stingrays right, were done here this is so dumb
Hmm no thanks? You all sound like a load of goons to me , Getting drunk and going on pinkbike.. get a life..?
hahaha, going on pinkbike at 2am drunk is perfectly normal in my opinion, and if i just got home from a party, i see that as a life? and JorgenKona, constructive cristicism, read right underneath the photo next time before you post POD or not
well theres nothing wrong. but like its not the first thing that crosses my mind lol. whatever. keep it cool guys
shut the f*ck up. jpilot jorgen might have been saying sick pod not sick, it should be a pod. u f*ck face and rolino.. just no mate..
calm down tom lol, just cause uve obv never had more than a sip of ur dads beer, and i wasnt saying u didnt know it was pod u stupid f*ck
BEAR? like the animals we have in our continent? i dont see what a bear has anything to do with beer?
nothing wrong with glasses lol, im just saying, put them on, and i have nothing against chinese people.
OMFG. GO TO THE NOTEBOARDS. I AM SICK OF THESE NOTIFICATIONS. I WISH I COULD DELETE MY PREVIOUS POSTS HERE.
stingray calm down, big deal, makes u seem important having so many notifciactions everytime you log on
Im korean too. From what china man wrote, Im pretty ashamed to be from the same place as him right now -__-
oh..lol well theres this fast food restaurant called china-express and i eat there frequently. my original name for pb was 6andy9 but the admins made me to change it so i just quickly thought of this one.
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.
TILT SHIFT! It's a tilt shift photo... Only the lower 3rd is in complete focus, which makes the rest look small.
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.
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.

Oh I know it is fake... As in, edited in, but it is still a 'tilt-shift' photo, getting the same effect, to a degree...

Nope Never heard of a site, just old fashion experience..been using Photoshop for a long time, and all the photos are shot with a Nikon D70 which helps a lot. I thought i would have some fun with Photoshop and give props to all the local talent in my neighborhood. Thanks for comments
actually loooks so real tho like if you took a quick glimpse of the picture you would think its real 
i think this picture is good, but to be honest there are some really stupid folk on pink bike. talking about things they actually have no idea about. i dont know what editing has been done but i know two things. its not a natural wide depth of field affect and its not a natural tilt and shift effect. its been done in editing stage. anyway cool effect and i like the way the truck looks like a toy.
stop hating,For all those out there, that thought this pic was fake, take a look to see, how fake it is on blackmarketbikes.com front page. east coast ride on

Ah, medium of choice ?! I guess; been using it ever since it came out. Again i was just playing around with the photos...having fun, yeay me! lol
No not in my opinion, but hey, to each his own. That is the beauty of creating something that is a little off...

Hey Xlien quick question. I know how the low f-stop business works and all that, but did you edit this too? Because it seems that the lines around the truck are too sharp. You did selective blurring right?

Right POD for my taste: great talent from the rider and the photographer creating a crazy sic photo!
just a gausian blur added to drop the back ground further out of focus?
as for Pseudo tilt shifts, alot of it has to do with where you are standing and the angle your camera is.

it looks like the pictures from an article in a BMX mag i have, he uses a really old camera and it makes everything look like miniatures
I like the editing, it makes it kind of look like a model truck (for some reason, looks small haha). Cool pic.
[Reply]
Its not fake,its called tilt shift or something,there is a website where you can do that to your own pictures,great job! looks awsome
[Reply]
it looks like a really small model car and house, and he just got photoshopped in. it probably is real though
It wasn't, here is a list of all PODs, http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/podlist/
BTW congrats Xlien for the awesome photo!

im not 100% sure about this photo but i think its photoshopped cuz the guy all around him is blurred then he just blurred the background to make it look better and that truck does look photoshopped, or its just real and epic as shit!

DREAM KILLER!!!!!! you stole my idea haha!!!!!!! but we jumped a silverado in the harris teeter parking lot!!!
Great photo! I'm not a dirtjumper but I love this shot. Shrinking the depth of field really brings great emphasis to the subject. For me it really stops time!
Thanks for sharing.

if you look at the other pics of the album you will see it is not fake at all. Even have shots of the same rider doing different tricks...
That wasn't directed at you, it was directed at some other dummy who deleted his comment. Hope the nose heals up quick bro.

Agreed
Urm, its just a blur tool, like 6/8ths of the photo is blurred and its blurred around the main focus part, the car and bike

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!
