l'iPhone sta per superare la canon XT/Rebel/300 come macchina... ehm... apparecchio fotografico più utilizzato su flickr... ne capisco la ragione: GPS, upload automatico immediato...
ma tutto questo sta contribuendo a compromettere la situazione della fotografia nel mercato mondiale, e non per la sua qualità, ma solo per la sua fruibilità

Tilt Shift effect in photoshop

Since I've no TS Lens (but most probably the Canon 24mm TS-E will be my next lens) I love to recreate one of the effects obtainable with this lovely lens...

The basic steps I use to recreate the effects are:

• In quick Mask mode, select gradient toolwith reflected gradient
  
• make a selection end exit the quick mask mode
  
• Lens Blur filter should be the tool of choice here,
  
  
  
  • Depth Map to 0 (but sometimes adding a mask here could help)
    
  • Specular Highlights to 0 (but low values could create a nice effect)
    
  • radius/blade/curvature depend on photo and effect desired, but 50/0/0 generally work for me
    
  
  
• raising contrast curves and saturation could help for the little toy effect
  

this could do the trick
