i’ve been shooting a lot of black and white images lately with my blackberry storm, here are a couple and you can see more on my flickr photostream(and don’t forget to order prints!).

PDX tilt shift

yesterday i found a link to the website tiltshiftmaker.com, which allows you to upload photos and create cool tilt shift effects, much like in the old mister rogers tv show. it’s definitely a fun web app, and it makes the effect easy to create without having to spend tons of money on a tilt shift lens or learning how to duplicate the effect in photoshop.

anyhow, here’s my experiment with the site, using an aerial photo i took of downtown portland from on board the OHSU aerial tram almost two years ago. click on the image thumbnail to view a larger version on flickr! -h

i hope all of you had as nice of an evening as i did… the columbia river was nothing short of GORGEOUS tonight, and the wind was perfect for sailing. just check out the pictures for proof(one more after the bump). make sure you click the image above to view the larger size… it’s even better full-size! -h
