Kenneth and Edmonton all take great shots.

Thanks for posting feepa.

Ugh, sorry to sound like a snob, but I really dislike tilt-shift to this effect, especially when faked digitally.

It may just be the "fad" aspect of it that bothers me, though. I feel similarly about most HDR shots I see these days. While HDR can be done tastefully, most of the ones I see now just use too high a range and end up looking unrealistic and gaudy.

I have just been posting stuff that catches my eye and I like. I guess I like shiny things....

oh look... tin foil (amused for hours)

Daveography · #**109** Posted **May 5, 2009, 7:44 PM**

^ And that's fine, I actually appreciate that you do this. You're welcome to post the photos, even to praise them. I'm just not a fan of these two particular "fad effects" that I see so often all over the internet, and just felt like sharing my photosnobbiness.

I agree. Something about the tilt shift just looks silly, same with the "minature" thing, which is very similar. Yeah, most HDR is overdone IMO but it can be done creatively.

Tilt Shift is just neat to look at :>

bulliver · #**112** Posted **May 5, 2009, 9:22 PM**

I sort of like HDR for its tackiness. It's like a black velvet Elvis of a photograph. The above photo is my first attempt, and I am still unsure how much I like it, which is why I didn't post it here myself. Not that I mind, feepa...

As for tilt-shift, I love the 'modelization' effect, but find the top and bottom unfocused bars distracting.

Jasper and one o nin · #**113** Posted **May 5, 2009, 10:02 PM**

Are these being put on the SSP City Photos page, if not - why not?

feepa · #**114** Posted **May 5, 2009, 10:03 PM**

Cause the "found city photos" section I rarely visit.

What a beautiful building Old Strathcona has! Isn't there (or was) some kind of bar or lounge in the station?

The ironhorse is/was in there. I think they are under renos ... and probably a customary name change...

So that is the same building. I was confused because the picture said CNR rail station, and the Ironhorse is located along the CPR lines. I don't have a picture of the present-day Iron Horse for comparison, but I guess others recognize it as identical...
