jerrykur Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #1 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E Hi, Can anyone provide details on how to get the toy effect with a TS-E lens? jerry Oct 11, 2008 at 03:15 PM

saaketham Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #2 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E I guess a reserve tilt is applied. Rather than getting a lot of DOF, reverse tilt causes the opposite effect. Oct 11, 2008 at 04:11 PM

n0b0 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E I hope you didn't get that TS lens for that effect since it can be done with Photoshop in under 2 minutes with a lot of flexibility. Oct 11, 2008 at 04:17 PM

saaketham Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #4 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E You can also make the background blurred by applying a gaussian blur, going back in history, and using the history brush to selectively apply the blur ... so this eliminates the need for fast lenses. But, there is a satisfaction to making things happen without the help of folks from Adobe. Oct 11, 2008 at 05:12 PM

mh2000 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E PS is not the same. Both the TS-E 45 & 90 are beautiful lenses. There are DIY options that will allow you to play around for a few dollars. I did precisely one "toy effect" shot (kind of) with my TS-E's and regretted it... some photographers make is a trademark effect and can even pull it off, but it's all ready been done too much IMO, so unless you have some really new idea of how to use it, maybe look into the more subtle creative options available from these lenses. If it wasn't for the TS-E's I think think I would be out of Canon at this point, but the 45 & 90 are spectacular optics (very un-Canon-like). Oct 11, 2008 at 05:24 PM

Eric Schwab Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #7 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E I think that anyone that has done either of these effects in photoshop quickly realizes how fake they look. There is NO way to OOF highlights accurately with guassian blur, or lens blur. Especially any part that's close to a part that is in focus. Oct 11, 2008 at 05:25 PM

I have done it (not quite this well) and have some $$$ making ideas for it (already have a client lined up). greg Oct 12, 2008 at 02:52 AM

mchahn Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #11 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E I know how optics (or PS) are used to make a toy shot. Can someone explain to me WHY it looks like a toy when done? Does it have something to do with the fact that DOF doesn't usually appear at those distances? Oct 12, 2008 at 04:56 AM

saaketham Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #12 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E pentool wrote:wow hope you kidding Maybe .. not really. I was saying that just because we can mimick the effects of a shallow DOF with a lot of photoshop clicking, it doesn't mean we don't need fast lenses. You can crank up the ISO and still get relatively clean images, so shooting indoors also can be solved without a fast lens. But, there is a certain satisfaction in doing it all in-camera, and not using PS to mimick the effect a lens can produce naturally. Anyway .. if someone who has done this toy effect with a TS/E lens could explain to us TS/E newbies - it'd be greatly appreciated. Vincent Laforet has several such images on his website. And some look cheesy, while some look stunning, IMHO. It is an entire different way of seeing at such a scale. Oct 12, 2008 at 05:04 AM

saaketham Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #13 · How do you get toy effect with TS-E Chris Warburton ... could you please post the original image, without this effect? So we can see whether the toy effect is because of the scale and how our brains expect the image to be? Thanks. Oct 12, 2008 at 05:06 AM

The "fake" shallow DOF gives you the illusion of small size. Oct 12, 2008 at 05:39 AM
