Tilt-Shift Van Gogh

[bibblebub]

One novelty in digital photography is tilt-shift, for which editing produces a very limited field of focus together with slightly enhanced colouring and can make real-life subjects look like they are miniature.

Now someone has applied these techniques to some paintings by Van Gogh:-

Some are quite so-so but a few (such as the first one) do look very intriguing. Does anyone else agree?

I much prefer the paintings as they are but this has reminded me of my childhood View-Master and that was pure magic, so thanks for posting:)

I find tilt-shift to be such an interesting effect when applied to the right sort of image e.g.

this photo looks like dinky cars and toy characters no matter how often I remind myself that it is real people and vehicles.

Ooh, I like some of those bb, especially the Painter on His Way to Work and Red Chestnuts in the Park.
I had to check twice to make sure they were real people & cars too :o)

bibblebub I used "your" site for this suggestion http://www.theanswerb...s/Question946519.html :)

[bibblebub]

yes i've just seen it and thanks, first time anyone's has ever referenced anything i've ever done in my life

[swedeheart]

Wouldn't have done it though had I first seen your attack on my other post, bibblebub. How unnecessary. Why did you do that?

[bibblebub]

what have i done?

[swedeheart]

You don't even KNOW? You just puke for the sake of puking? The typeface question.

Isn't life hard enough as it is?

[bibblebub]

Do you mean Maru? It's only an "animals do the funniest things" video of a cat, and they are never the funniest things.

You like to shame people. THAT is sad. / Tonyted there's a blurriness to the pictures that sort of creates a 3D effect.

I love the effect, but I'm still stuck into my HDR photography.
Here's one I did earlier:

Answerprancer, I do like that one !!

And so much better than messing about with van Gogh.
