Tilt shift photography

Post by Gob »

Image


This amazing tilt-shift photography was the brainchild art student Serena Malyon. Using Photoshop, she manipulated the lighting and focus by blurring and sharpening certain parts of the photo to give it that realistic pop!


More examples here.

Throwing the background out of focus?

A wide f-stop will do that.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

On a flat painting? LOL! :)

Dales mate, the photograph which was shopped to look 3D is this one

"Prison Courtyard" By Van Gogh. F stop would have no effect whatsoever.

LO, I don't think it was suggested that she invented the process.

It was a commentary on how she used it on some of Van Gogh's works...

"tilt-shift photography was the brainchild art student Serena Malyon"


...sounds like she's claiming credit for it.

When you leave off the "This Amazing" I guess it does...

A wholly useless attempt to profit from a real master.

A cultural vampire. Pay her no attention. Her version is stealing and not very good anyway.

Stealing? How? In the way, say, van Cliburn steals from Chopin? These are paintings by old masters in the public domain, and she is putting her interpretation/spin on them, much as a performer does with music. It may be good, bad, or mediocre, but I hardly see it as "stealing", especially since the original is avaialable for all who seek to enjoy it without her particular interpretation.

What has she claimed (or does anyone else claim) that she has accomplished?

She added a bit of color to the closest figures. People were adding color to photographs before she was born. (Yes, I know that the original is not a photograph. Same point stands.)

She fuzzed out the figures further back. Too bad that the result does not look anything like what an observer on the scene would actually see.

She fucked up the background. Yeehah!

People who want to call themselves artists should consider producing art.
Reason is valuable only when it performs against the wordless physical background of the universe.

I think the way she's created a 3D effect out of the old masters is quite good, I don't think anyone has claimed she's produced great art.

Personally I don't think she's done very much, I just dispute that it is theft.
