ThereвЂ™s an online version available, but i assume you want to download it and install it to have it handy on your harddrive.ДЇirst of all, load the original.jpg file that you can download HERE. Once installed, itвЂ™s time to move on and download our little new friend, TiltShift, from the main website. What if we try to make it stand-out and give it a nice toy-ish, plastic feeling?Д«e sure that you have the latest Adobe Air library installed. So i thought вЂњHmmmвЂ¦why donвЂ™t enhance it even more?вЂќ.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s how i came up with this tutorial, where i didnвЂ™t use Photoshop, Lightroom or Gimp or what elseвЂ¦BUTвЂ¦a little toy that iвЂ™ve reviewed here on my very 1st postвЂ¦ TILTSHIFT, a nice little Adobe Air tool to tweak the photos and make them stand-out (and look like you were lookinвЂ™ at them with a magnifing glass so to speak).ДЇor this tutorial, we will use the original photo that i took today and iвЂ™ll guide you step by step to achieve the same results i got.ДЇirst of all letвЂ™s look at the original photo and let me ask youвЂ¦.where your eyes ended up as soon as you seen the pic on the screen? I guess on the yellow taxi in the middle, just in front of your eyesвЂ¦. When i posted it on my Facebook my friend Alexander commented it sayinвЂ™ that wasnвЂ™t sure if was just a perspective-game but the cars looked like mini models that kids use to collect or play with. Today i went out to buy some Khao Pad Gai (fried rice with chicken) for lunch not far from where i live here in Sukhumvit (Bangkok).ДЄs soon as i reached the bridge to cross from my sidewalk to the other side, i saw this long cue of coloured taxies and cars.

I will show you how to apply a tilt effect on a photo using TIltShift, a little Air application that works really really well in my opinion. We've been looking around for fall color and it's just not a lot, and when you see it, man you gotta jump to it, so we're gonna go do that now.This tutorial is really simple and takes just few minutes to get really good results, depending on the source picture of course. I see some fall color deep in the forest. These are a couple of great things you can do with it. With a 24mm wide angle lens, we just created a panorama as simple as spinning a knob. Now later, I'm gonna show you how to put those together. Again, I mark the end of that sequence with my hand, as well I did with the beginning, so that we can find those images very simple in Lightroom. That'll be my first image and that way when I bring the images in the Lightroom, I'll know exactly where it is. Now, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna shift to the left, and I'm gonna take an image, and again, it's always helpful to mark your hand in front. I'm gonna polarize this scene because I don't have blue sky, I'm not worried about discoloration with the polarizer and because I've got the green wet foliage, I need to reduce the glare. Make sure you zoom in with live view to set your focus.

Now tilt shift lens, again remember, is manual focus.

Okay, so I've got my exposure, f11, two seconds, at ISO 400 and that will be consistent through all three images because I'm in manual mode. Because I need my exposure to be the same throughout, so I'm gonna go to manual mode and I'm gonna find my exposure for the brightest part of this image and once I've done that then I will make sure not to have any blown highlights throughout.

Even though, we're not taking different frames, where you need to be in manual mode, let's say in a long lens panel, it's the same principles. Now, what we wanna do is be in manual mode. It's very easy in post-processing and I will definitely show you how. We are completely level and what I've done is I've shifted and I'm gonna show you here to the left, and back towards the right and I've looked at this entire range and I'm gonna be able to capture all of it with three images and then stitch them together. It is so simple, and I'm gonna demonstrate exactly how that works. I just wanna be able to do it and the tilt shift lens gives me the freedom to knock out panos anywhere I am. I don't wanna bring the extra equipment and I want my life to be simple when it comes to achieving something like a pano with a wide angle lens. They're very, very technical and difficult. They involve getting a Nodal rail and very specific equipment. I give a great demonstration and a course on the Palouse, or they could be very difficult with a wide angle lens. Now panoramas can be pretty easy with the long lens. It's important to think outside the box, not just shoot 2 by 3, but think about panos and squares, verticals, horizontal panos.
