Tilt Shift Experiment

Here I have experimented with the 'Tilt shift' photo editing technique. It makes the image blurry/out of focus in a particular area but focused in another. Also, I had added a light red filter.

Here are the instructions I followed to create the tilt shift effect:

David Hockney Style - Analogue/Digital (Experiment 1) (mock)

Experiment 1

For this experiment I have used the technique from David Hockney, where he takes multiple photographs of the same object, then splits them up into many chunks and fits them all back together into a very interesting image. Here is an example of this and personally my favourite:

As you can see, the technique is very interesting, and most definitely unique.

For my first experiment, I used elements of David Hockney's style, by taking chunks of photographs, except I only used one photograph. The final image consists of two pictures; one being analogue (Ricoh Film camera) and one being digital (DSLR). I came up with the idea because I wanted to combine an old styled photograph with a modern photograph. I liked the outcome as the 'old' photograph is dull and fairly blurry with chunks of the 'modern', sharp, vibrant photograph over the top of it. The effect is almost as-if the modern photo is revealing what the 'old' photograph might have looked like in person. 

Overlay - Ghostly Effect with landscape in foreground (Experiment 2)

Experiment 2:

This experiment was a lot simpler in comparison to my first experiment, although I did like the outcome. It was simple, I had the original photo. I dragged the other photo on top of it, cut the figure out and reduced the opacity of the layer. Then I placed the figure in the appropriate place and finally changed the overall filter to mono (black and white) to give it an olden style effect. 

Here is the photograph without the black and white filter effect.
