"Bluto. Even though you're bigger than me, you can't win, 'cause you're bad, and the good always wins over the bad." - (Popeye the Sailor Man).

Fake tilt-shift manipulation usually works better on photos taken from an elevated view but as I don't have any of those I thought I'd try it out on one that I took of the Popeye Village. The irony of creating a fake model effect on life-sized buildings, which were constructed to emulate cartoon houses, rather appealed to me.

This tutorial is a good place to start and it's also worth checking out the tilt-shift group on Flickr.

  3. Hello Mo!
    That’s a great picture! I find the fake tilt-shift very appealing.
    Best regards
