Towers #5
Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 14 May 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
This is a tiltshift image from Blackpool Tower taken over the last Christmas period. So theoretically it still comes under the badge of Tower
Me and my camera(s) will travel both locally and as far as is physically allowable within the constraints of this our local celestial body and provide images from a purely subjective point of view for your evaluation and commentation .

PJ, I like this one the best out of all 5 images so far. The blur gives a dizzying quality to the height that is perfect.

thank you for your nice comments.....this picture is lovely with the selective blurring & sharpening effect resulting in a peek a boo vignetting.

The tilt-shift effect really gives the illusion of a toy town. I've never been to Blackpool tower, but have been up the Eiffel. Did you know that New Brighton once had a tower that was higher than Blackpool...?

I like the blurring, too. It does give you a sense of the dizzying height.

Nice tilt.shift, but I just think that the transition from blurred to sharp is a little harsh.
