Funtopia pt. 2.1: Tilt Shift revisited

Wheee! Yesterdays entry about tilt shift photos generated quite some interest.

I found the website of the guy who did the Geauga Lake picture and he has posted a step by step tutorial on how he has done it. As one could have guessed, he did more to the original picture than just a few blurs. Click HERE to see the original photo and the various stages of extensive photo-shopping.

Then I came across some pictures which were done seemingly "on the fly" and some of them are very effective.

"Das Festhaus" (click to enlarge:)

These are "scale models" of Kings Island and I have to say that the "Festhaus" really has this cuckoo-clock-look. I´d take two as a souvenier, please!

I found this via Coasterbuzz, respectively Coasterimage.
