Artensoft Tilt-Shift Generator Allows Photographers to Reproducing Photos With Characteristic ‘Macro’ Look
Artensoft Tilt Shift Generator produces pseudo-macro images, simulating the ‘diorama’ look of a miniature scene by emulating razor-thin depth of field characteristic to tilt-shift photography. Offering far greater flexibility than modern tilt-shift lenses and available at a small fraction of the price of a real tilt-shift lens, Tilt-Shift Generator represents great value.
The tilt-shift technique allows photographers tilting plane of focus, achieving selective focus effect and producing photos with characteristic ‘macro’ look. Pictures taken with a tilt-shift lens reproduce the look of a miniature scene shot up close, at a macro distance.
The effect has been known since advent of boxy, wooden large format cameras. Using flexible bellows for camera movements, large format photographers could turn any lens into a tilt-shift lens, reproducing faux-diorama shots without an extra investment.
Today’s photographers shooting 35mm film and all kinds of digital cameras can only achieve the effect by either using a dedicated, expensive tilt-shift lens or reproducing the effect in post-processing with photo editing software. With the most affordable tilt shift lens produced by a major manufacturer costing more than $1300, tilt-shift photography remains an expensive hobby for most amateurs. Technological constraints and limitations of even the best tilt-shift lenses (manual aperture, manual focus, stop-down or manual metering, lack of zoom etc.) make using these lenses inconvenient even to dedicated professionals shooting anything but still architecture and landscapes.
