While i was away hiding in my cave with Dommy, i have been testing a few things... and sleeping and reading a lot too. Sleeping and reading tops the tests of course. Its too warm in the afternoons...a constant 33 degrees (my eyes just keeps closing).

This whole week was like living in a hotpot. I think i lost a few kilos just sweating away. Bathing few times a day don't help much because you start sweating the minute you step out from the loo.

Anyways... i tried tilt shifting this week with photoshop. Its kinda cool because the pictures looks like miniature faking :D i posted two more on the boomoohoo.

Here's a tutorial from youtube.

Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small - and medium format cameras; it usually requires the use of special lenses.

"Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to change the line of sight while avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings.

In many cases, "tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of tilt and a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field. (courtesy from Wikipedia)
