tilt shift faking Anonymous
So, I've never really done editing before, or shown interest in it for that matter. However, for some reason, I've recently been captivated by tilt-shift miniatures, and this is the first one I've made. I realize I made the line in the cylinder gradiant too big, but other than that, any pointers? I've also been saturating it a bit more so it has a more plastic look.

Also, anything else that works out well when you edit it like that besides cityscapes/buildings?

the line that's in focus doesn't make sense to me, so isn't tricking me into thinking it's a miniature. i guess the focus plane could be at an angle like that with some tilt/shift work, but generally it would look better if it was horizontal.

using a tilt/shift lens to make a fake miniature adjusts the focus plane to resemble a regular lens with a very shallow dof over a distance where the normally isn't possible. photoshopping the effect should try to reproduce what a real tilt/shift does which is make the dof very shallow for all objects at a certain distance from the lens. it doesn't work for this photo since the boats and the bridge are all in focus while they are clearly at different distances.
