How to Cheat at Tilt-Shift Photography



Tilt-shift photography (that ‘miniature effect’) is still a relatively new concept, and it’s a great way for you to generate interest in your design work through social networks, galleries and portfolios. The only problem is the cost. Even if you have a DSLR camera already, a tilt-shift lens will typically set you back around $1500… way beyond what most of us are willing to spend on one photo effect.

The good news is that you can recreate the tilt-shift look for free, or at a small cost, in a variety of different ways. All the following methods are actually better than a photo taken with a traditional tilt-shift lens because you still have the original image to work with and you’re not limited to simply one look.

50 Beautiful Photos on Instagram

Instagram is a free photo editing and sharing software for iPhone users. If you have the Instagram app downloaded and installed on your iPhone then you can edit your captured pictures by applying any one of the several filters and then share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Foursquare, and Posterous. It is as simple as that.

Although it is true that you can edit your photographs on software like Photoshop, to do that you will need a good enough knowledge of the software. If you are not well versed in photo editing software then you will have to hire a designer.

Instagram eliminates these technical difficulties by enabling you to edit photos with the mere click of some buttons. You also get an unlimited number of uploads on the Instagram website. This feature has helped Instagram to become a social media for beautiful images.

Thousands of images are uploaded and edited on Instagram every day. Here we have carefully selected 50 classic photographs to showcase. These images will prove to you how the filters and frames for Instagram can amazingly affect your photographs.

30+ Examples of Shallow Depth of Field Photography


Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object in a scene that appears acceptably sharp in an image. This depends upon three things: aperture setting, focal length and distance between the camera and the subject. The DOF is determined by the camera-to-subject distance, the lens focal length, the lens f-number, and the format size or circle of confusion criterion.
