Your favourite Glasto images

Good pics here, just wondering if any of you (more pro) photographers out there can do tilt-shift photography? If so, would it be possible at glasto?

Some examples here... http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/16/beautiful-examples-of-tilt-shift-photography/

p.s, this is the effect used in Thom Yorkes Harrowdown Hill video

A major part of the challenge is getting suitable "from the perspective of a human looking at a scale model" not-quite-bird's-eye-views. The ribbon tower might provide a good perspective.

Maybe the technique has jumped the shark, with its use in the pre-song links in this year's Eurovision Song Contest coverage!

You don't need to be a pro by any means; you can fake the effect in Photoshop or The GIMP. Google for tutorials.

A few of mine from last year processed with the fake tilt-shift method:

Those and a couple others are at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/j_hunt/sets/72157626574348619/

First few are great, especially the third one. For a 'faked' effort as well it's ace!

The latter pictures don't work at all - putting a blur effect randomly onto just any picture doesn't work; it needs to be high and wide perspective for the 'model effect'.

Thanks for your criticism, both positive and otherwise. Much appreciated.

I do understand the process and which scenes make better candidate photos. I kind of like what it did to Jim's wooden mushrooms in Croissant Neuf. Just a bit of fun though.

Took a wander around the site a couple of days ago and sat under our favourite tree

looks so calm and peaceful!

looks close, but I'd bet its still reallly far!! on the way to the festival when you start to see the site it looks 'close' and yet still have a few miles to go! :)
