This is my first attempt at a fake tilt-shift effect using Photoshop. I followed this really simple tutorial. I know there are some better, more advanced versions out there, but this one seemed to do the trick.

    Very nice. You could also try one of these to do it while you’re out shooting. I’ve been using the 2.0 version for a few months now. It feels a tad gimmicky, but in the right context it can be pretty great.

    This image would be spot on without the ‘realist’ sky in the background.
    Just cropped it out, and it looks real nice.

    I totally disagree with Jaon on this one. The sky gives it balance. Chop out the sky, the photo becomes an utter mess. Put your hand over it and see.

    Rob, as an image, the sky is great, I agree.
    But I was referring to the ‘toy’ effect he’s trying to achieve.
    Clouds and skies don’t belong in ‘dioramas’.
