Final Tilt Shift Little italian Houses

Tilt shift effect applied to an image I took of small Baita houses in Italy. I made use of photoshop and scaled the blur so that it didn't affect the main structures of the building. In hindsight I should have made the blur not affect the tops of the building.

 

Although traditionally tilt shift images are most effective taken from above, I chose to use a lower down perspective and it still gave off an interesting effect, placing our focus onto the buildings and the patterns of stone in the roofs.

 

> Powerpoint Evaluation:

 

This image was taken in 2016 for a trip to Italy and I used it to complete Brief 2, Old to New using an iPhone 8. The image itself was of small Italian houses called trullo, and has a pleasant, balanced composition.

 

The image is very detailed, with lots of visible texture and shadows. The lighting was nice with the cool bright blues not taking away from the slightly duller tones of the trullo. I decided to add a tilt shift to this image as I wanted the primary focus to be on the center of the image. In hindsight the lower perspective made the tilt shift slightly less effective but I still think it added more emphasis to the detailed middle of the image. If I were to select a photo to tiltshift I'd aim for one taken from above looking down on the subject.

 

This fulfilled the brief 2 requirement of investigating different techniques, tilt shift a technique I'd never used before created a pleasing effect. I learned that in future it's better to use this edit on photos with a high perspective looking down if I wanted it to be most effective.
