Tilt Shift Time Lapse – Port of Napier, New Zealand
Whilst in NZ I managed to shoot some time lapse photography. This is my first attempt and I made some mistakes but you live and learn. Time wasn’t a luxury I had so the video is quite short. It’s a start, a great experience, learning curve and something I’ll be sure to do some more of around Manly.
The tilt shift effect which makes everything look tiny and toy like is achieved either using a specialised lens or as in this case in post processing via Photoshop. A process sometimes known as miniature faking. I’ve been meaning to release a tutorial on how to do this as well as the action script I used to automate this process, stay tuned.
I would love to hear your thoughts!

As someone who has seen a lot of tilt-shift time lapses, I think this is pretty cool! Keep it coming. This is a great start.

Mate, that is awesome, I’ve never seen that before! Very impressive, the length makes it nice a punchy!
