Not enough Jägerbombs
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

If they got Jon Hamm in a grey suit to do the same thing and get into a decent "luxury" car like that other ad you posted, plenty of dudes across the country would line up for said car.

Dunno why they don't do it. Given the money involved, I'm sure Madison Avernue has done market research suggesting that it ain't the best route.

^^Wow i thought the last one was some joke, but it turns out that it's an actual comic funny though
Wow. I didn't know Nazism was a fear of American conservative Christians in the 1970s.

Chose to block out her full name - just didn't seem necessary for it to be there.

That's a lovely photo (looks like a painting though?), it reminds me of a nice dream i had.
Looks way prettier (and more impressive) at night, FWIW.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
That is so fucking trippy.

I agree, Cain.
Even though Being will find tilt-shift cliche....

This 3rd one seems more tilt-shift than the other two. Much more blurring around the edges. Therefore much more miniaturisation effect.
With the first two things just seem to be very crisp. Very sharp.
All 3 are quite fabulous though.
Thanks Tim, only the last one is Tilt Shift. It was also an assemblage of 4 images, and I missed a major seem. LOL.
I have to redo it better.
I am floored by the sharpness of the first one. I think it's the best image I have taken, ever.
I'mma gonna print it big and hang it in my shop.
You know, that 3rd one looks so... "sharp" (or something) that it looks like CGI or something - seriously, it doesn't look quite real. Maybe it's the contrast between the sharp and the blurred, but you should put it in your portfolio and claim to be a CGI master.
There's probably a few million in it if you can sell that story to George Lucas.

That is the purpose of tilt-shift. Somebody (Ziggy?) posted a few extreme ones back a few pages.

I prefer the daylight one because you can see the curve of the earth and the great lake on the horizon.
Yes, you are an artistic genius, Bitter.
I like the pictures
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Yeh I think that's the seam he said he missed.
I'm sure it is, Bukaroo.
That one, incidentally, Rettib, is Life (the game).
Up next, Parcheesi? Or Mousetrap?

Being, the purpose of tilt shift is to to be able change the angle of the focal plane, and is predominantly used for product photography (like jewelery), food photography, and architecture. The phenomenon of the "miniature" style photography actually goes counter to the purpose of the lens. For the miniature effect, you are severely decreasing the depth of field by tilting opposite what you normally would. It's also an interesting psychological trick. Super saturating colors add to the effect of the image being "fake" or a model. The effect is overdone now, since people fake it in photoshop, by adding blur.
Is this to compensate for not being able to get the camera positioned exactly how you'd like it? I've only noticed its use when someone posted those "miniatures" a while back. Do you think it has any value being used for nature or landscapes? I've never tried it. Maybe I'll download one of those actions for PS and see what it does (since I don't have a TS lens).
Since I'm here, this is the one I used for my mom's mother's day card this year. My critique on this one is lower ISO (this was 500) to smooth the bouquet and do some micro-adjustment for more accurate focus with this lens.
