Our new Challenge will be a

"Tilt" FAKE Miniature Scene....
Tilt shift lenses focus on a single part of the photo and shift (blur) the surrounding area to create an optical illusion of miniaturized scenery. Real tilt shift lenses are quite expensive, but a similar effect can be achieved by using Photoshop after you take the photo.

Tilt shift photographs create an optical illusion that makes scenes appear as if they are actually miniature models (like your uncle’s train set). The outer edges are blurred which tricks the eye into perceiving everything in the unblurred parts as miniature. It’s a fun post processing trick – and it’s quite easy to reproduce.

OK This looks like some fun!! - Thanks for a Great Challenge
OK here is my Attempt of adding tile to a photo I took a few weeks back of the Mellon (Civic) Arena in Pittsburgh.

This time I didn't use Photoshop - I used Corel's Paint Shop Pro to do this - I wanted to try this in a program that is reported to have as much power at Photoshop but no where near the expense - Sign up at Corel's Website to be on their mailing list and you will eventually get an offer to purchase it at a greatly discounted price. I wanted it for the Video Editing Portion but bought the whole suite of programs. And for some things it is much easier to use and navigate but others since I am so used to using Photoshop it is more difficult for me to accomplish but to the novice it makes sense where the options are and when I find them I say Duhh.

But anyways here is the original and then my attempt at Tilt shift

the Model of the Igloo - CIvic Arena

Very COOL!
Get it Igloo Cool....lol
I kill myself....hehe
What an interesting Arena!! Very nice job :)
Here's my entry. :)
