The blog owner is Jyune 樹音, it's a he. ^^
Recently, he just held an exihibition of his works in Tokyo. He's got some really nice work, including a series of pictures just of bubbles in his bathtub.
 

Sounds fun! ;) Me using Photoshop 7...

My newbie attempt:

Very nice. Pics really look miniaturized
 

Cool, great job guys.:)
 

i can't get it done, i followed every single step but once i get to the lens blur part, it blurs out the entire picture rather than keeping a selected area in focus.... anyone knows what have i done wrong?
 

There are certain rules in using the right photos, for example shooting down from an angle. U look at toys models from top not almost eye level that kind of height :) :) Below is one of my tilt and shift collection

I think one of the steps in the tutorial is wrong, you have to invert your selections from quick mask mode. So that the subjects you want in focus IS NOT selected.
 

Awesome stuff!

I've seen these effects in the NatGeo mag (August 2006 issue). To get those effects, the photographer used a view camera, an Ektar lens, probably with a shallow DOF.

You can see the pics here: http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0608/feature1/index.html

Thanks for sharing the photoshop method, a much more cost-effective approach indeed :thumbsup:
 

The first pic is nice at least the focus is on the bridge but pic 2 is off. the sky and the focus ? :dunno:

One of the good tilt and shift rule is try to avoid photos with alot of skies...coz model dun have skies...hehehe
Hmmm well, for the 2nd image, I was trying to keep the focus on the war memorial (which is on the left) and the reason which made me leave the sky there is because the models can have backdrops :).
