OT: Tilt-Shift Motocross photos

My guess is you could pretty easily do the video one using a mask and filters.

Yeap.

This is really cool, he has fun pics. Love it.

The small apparent depth of field (and possible the saturated colours) make the subjects look like models.

Love it.

Here is a very cool video from Berlin using the technique.

Here's a good one from NYC.

Here is one I did of my brother:

Very easy to do in After Effects. Can be a very effective technique although it can be overused very quickly..just like HDR photography.

Used it a bit in this video for Schaefer Tracks:

Here is some tilt-shift I did at St. Louis SX this year. I shot with a 24mm for the wide stadium shot and the 85mm for the action shots. It was interesting and looks really cool, but I agree it can be over done just like hdr photography. Hope you enjoy. I've been waiting for someone to use it in video, but at $1500+ for a tilt shift lens, it would be hard to justify the cost as a videographer unless you shot a lot of landscapes/architecture.

I'm a fan of Tilt/shift is it's used in the right situation. Making things look like models is pretty neat.

very cool pic. I used to hate the Tilt/shift photo stuff, but they have really started to grow on me
