    Cool shots. Are some of those tilt-shift?

    Not with a tilt-shift lens, but with tilt-shift pp adjustments. Thanks!

    Wow. These are really nice. Super sharp. At first I thought the first two may have been miniature models because the detail is so good. Thanks for posting I enjoyed these. Tilt-Shift??? What is that??

    The look is really neat, one that I had seen some time ago. How do you get it to look like a miniature model?

    Thank you! Yes, the LOOk like miniatures. But it's all in the processing. Some gradient blur applied with some other color and contrast adjustments. I got a few that I took from the St. Louis Arch last year and a friend will NOT believe me that these are real shots. He think's they are models. rolleyes1.gif

    Can anyone explain how this phenomenon works? I mean optically, not Photoshop wise.

    Beautiful shots! I love the colors you captured in these. The lighting is also mesmerizing! clap.gifthumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.
