Description: The West Bolton Golf Course is always a great source of photographs.  This one was taken from my back porch.  I applied a tilt-shift effect, as well as other adjustments to create this final image.

For more my photographs with the tilt-shift effect see 10 Experiments With Tilt-Shift Photography and/or 10 More Experiments With Tilt-Shift Photography..

About the project: The ‘Things I Saw’ photography project began January 7, 2008.  Since then I have shot, edited and posted one photograph per day – every day.  As of August 31, 2009 I had taken a total of 20,834 images, 604 of them made it to the Things I Saw photo gallery.  Take a look at all of Things I Saw photo galleries here.

tilt-shift photography | sept 13, 2009 | mmckennedy

Yesterday I posted my fist ten experimental tilt-shift photos.  These photos were not created using a special camera they were editing using software to create the tilt-shift affect.

How did I create these images?

I used two different software applications to edit the original photos.

1. TiltShift Generator – free Desktop app, free online version, or iPhone app (not so free) by Art & Mobile
2. GIMP – GNU Image Manipulation Program (also free)

All photographs: created, edited and are the property of Michael McKennedy (yep, that’s me!)
