Tilt Shift Technique

First time for me. Tilt-shift photography as it applies to creating a 'toy-trainset' effect. Anyone else here doing it or have done it before?

Try changing the scope of the blur. Perhaps keep the whole rider in focus.

Tilt shift works well in shoots with lots of depth.

Agreed. Seems a bit unjust for a good photo to have only one focused strip.

The rider should be kept in focus.

Your shots are getting good man!

I've seen a couple of Eric's photos before posted elsewhere, and just assumed that they were of actual miniatures. Cool stuff, great effect.

Eric, do you use a Lensbaby or is that all post work?

Please remember, I've really only done film camera effects (I've really only taken snapshot-type pictures digitally). So that's my initial thought - a Lensbaby. But if it's done as a post process I'd like to see what the original shot looked like. I don't really need to know how to do the procedure in PS...
