The blog of Stephen David Smith, Tokyo, Japan 2012

The TiltShift Generator iPhone app by Takayuki Fukatsu is part of his popular Toy Camera series. Since moving to my new neighbourhood, I haven’t posted a picture of it as I usually do – so here is the view from my balcony (above) given the TiltShift treatment. Those not familiar with tilt-shift photography can get a definition from Wikipedia here, but the technique produces a picture that simulates a scene in miniature. For those interested in taking tilt-shift pictures themselves there’s the app mentioned in this post as well as another app by Michael Krause simply called TiltShift. The Michael Krause version arguably has more features, but I prefer the Takayuki Fukatsu one which also happens to have a better icon (very important!).

Cheers yout’, been looking for something like this for a while. Well, not so much looking as waiting for it to come to me. Marie got me a Paul-Smith book with tilt-shifted images of tokyo, can’t remember the artist but it is awesome.
