Some of the more OTT obviously-fake photos can be quite good, in much the same way a Warhol print of Marilyn Monroe is.</p> <p>I reserve my own little bag of hate for blurry water landscape shots, particuarly the ones with purple skies... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/photography-thread-tilt-shift-photos-and-other-effects#post-495497 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:02:55 +0000 dooge 495497@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Garylake, try Exposure blending in Photomatix. It produces much punchier but natural looking results without ruining highlights or shadows. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/photography-thread-tilt-shift-photos-and-other-effects#post-495490 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:01:39 +0000 dooge 495490@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I do agree it works with some things. Its a way of being creative, even though it was originally designed for architecture. I had a go with a wide angle portrait I shot last year and it came out looking virtually like it had been shot on a full frame at a ridiculous large F number. That program ruins colours, and nothings particularly sharp so it is just a bit of fun.

A more evenly exposed image, not directly possible by today's cameras?</p> <p>I turned to HDR/Tone mapping but found it difficult to get natural results - I found it a horrid tool to use (Photomatix).
