Bell Ringer: What would you do if you were a giant for a day at school? (Yes, this is your bell ringer. Trust me, it’s weirdly related to today’s project.)

Tilt-Shift Photography Tilt-shift photography has to do with the ability to tilt or raise the lens in relation to the back of the camera where the image is focused. When you tilt the lens, you’re pointing it at a slightly different angle from the normal straight approach, and when you shift the lens, you’re moving it upwards or downwards to achieve the desired effect. These adjustments can shift the most focused part of the image, resulting in some interesting effects.

Tilt-Shift Photography Architectural photographers use tilt-shift photography to take pictures of buildings from ground level. If you don’t angle the camera upwards from this perspective, you won’t get the entire building in the frame. However, if you do tilt the entire camera upwards, the top of the building bends backwards and its straight lines no longer appear straight. By controlling the angle of a tilt shift lens, they can fit the entire building into the scene while keeping the building’s straight lines straight.

Tilt-shift photography is also associated with miniature faking, a technique used to make ordinary scenes appear as though they are mini models that have been captured with a macro lens. To get this effect, you use a tilt-shift lens in conjunction with a wide aperture to create an unusually small depth of field. Subjects Tilt-Shift Photography closer to, and further away from the small focus point range will be blurry.

Our tilt-shift photography project: Today, we are going to take photos of our own to edit with a tilt shift effect. To do so, we will be going to IRSC to take photos. You will need two good photos to edit: 1. A picture of a building to straighten 2. A picture from above to make into a fake miniature

1. Building to straighten You will use free distort and crop to straighten a building. You need to make sure you have plenty of room on both sides of your image because this space will be cropped off.

2. Picture from above To create the fake miniature effect, you first need an image from a high angle, so you will need to find some stairs! Some choices include the library, parking garages, or whatever other buildings you may know. You will use a tilt-shift filter, saturation, and contrast to make your landscape look miniature. You may choose to include buildings, cars, trees, classmates, etc. in your image. Be creative with this because you will edit in your hand to make it look like you are “playing” with your miniature model.
