Dover Docks - Tilt shift by fbailey

Dover Docks - Tilt shift

My Get Pushed challenge this week was from Wendy who asked me to produce a tilt shift picture. This is my second attempt - this could become addictive! Shame the weather wasn't better this afternoon.
@wenbow Hi Wendy, this is my second attempt at your challenge. I had hoped to get nearer to the lorries but it was raining, and I'm very much a fair weather snapper!

PS We're Get Pushed partners again this week - Just an idea, but how about swapping our challenges from last week, you do tilt shift and I do hands/long exposure at night? Please say if this isn't suitable.

Nice image. I like the bleakness that the weather has created in this image.

Well done and quite convincing.

think the tilt shift works really well with this scene

This works very well with the concentration of subjects in the centre.

Interesting image! Nice

I really like this tilt shift thingy, such a cool effect.

Great use of focus.

wonderfully done, yes I am all for doing a swap of challenges, have fun!

Okay, I need to ask a bimbo question: what is a tilt shift?
January 22nd, 2018  
@casablanca You're speaking to a fellow bimbo, I had to Google it too! It's making something look like a toy or miniature scenario by taking it from an elevated angle, and then blurring the top and bottom thirds leaving the subject in sharp focus. That's the theory anyway!
January 22nd, 2018  
@fbailey Oh okay, you managed that then!! I've never heard of it before LOL!! Glad I am not alone in this.
January 22nd, 2018  
@casablanca Before joining Get Pushed nor had I! Have learned lots of new things through the challenges - why not give it a go?
January 22nd, 2018  
@fbailey I see people say they are doing it but I have never worked out what that actually means! How do you get on it and how does it work? And can yoy opt out periodically?
January 22nd, 2018  
@casablanca If you go to Discuss, Themes & Competitions, it's the 4th topic down and that should give you all the information you need. You just need to reply to say you'd like to be added to the list. And yes, you can opt out whenever you need/want to! Hope you join up:)
January 22nd, 2018  
@fbailey Thanks, I will go and have a peek!
January 22nd, 2018  
This works very well and seems to be fun doing.
January 22nd, 2018  
@fbailey I've emailed the boss man - I can't get the competitions to display on mine, so I can't see the posting about it. Might be a Safari thing or I might have a setting I know nothing about (I have hundreds of those, I have no doubt!)
January 23rd, 2018  
@casablanca Hopefully this will work : https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/30843/get-ready-get-set-get-pushed-faqs-the-2018-edition
I should have thought to have given you the link first time around. The lady to contact is northy @northy. Hope it works!
January 23rd, 2018  
@ingajohansson It was very enjoyable - why not give it a go?
January 23rd, 2018  
@fbailey Thanks - I just get a blank page with northy's profile pic at the top but nothing else. Same with all the posts on the Themes and Competitions tab. All the other discussion tabs work but not that one, so I am wondering if it is an incompatibility with Safari.......waiting to hear back from Mr 365 Ross.
January 23rd, 2018  
@casablanca How bizarre - maybe contact Northy direct?
January 23rd, 2018  
@casablanca hi there... I can add you to the list to get paired up next week... for this week you could check in with @missyann who also asked to join...
January 23rd, 2018  
@northy Hi Northy! Thanks for the message - as I can't make the page load I still don't really understand what's involved? I'm interested, just not immediately as I am in the middle of dental surgery and other delights currently. I contacted Ross as the page just won't load for me - joys of technology! May I get back to you when my immediate medical stuff is past?
January 23rd, 2018  
Another good one.
January 24th, 2018  
@casablanca sure... just let me know when you're ready to jump in...
