ccdn 244 | tilt-shift technique

This week is tilt-shift week which I have already played around with on my iPhone and a bit in Photoshop too.

So it is just a matter of taking an image from a high vantage point showing people, cars, houses etc as tiny little objects. Then opening it in PhotoShop, duplicating the layer, putting a Gaussian Blur filter on it then a vector mask on the same layer. Using the paintbrush tool to either 'paint' in black or white (foreground/background) you start by painting in a strip in the middle and then adding or subtracting blur by using either the black or white. I really need to find a good image to use, but I have been practising with what I had:

This got me thinking about how I can apply this to my mini world.
