Mar 1, 2011: Tilt-shift Van Gogh

A little background first: "tilt shift" is a photoshoppy technique where an ordinary photo of something wide in range, such as a landscape, is converted into what looks like a model. Aw hell, this page explains it better than I can, and has examples.

So, Serena Malyon came up with the idea of performing tilt-shift manipulations on iconic Van Gogh paintings.

This is the fine art version of remix artists and DJs taking old, familiar songs and turning them into something new, in a way that maintains artistic integrity.

I dream like that some time

because Van Gogh needs more color saturation.

I really like it though. very very cool

I like it.

I like it too.

New tech, applied to old medium.:thumb:

Essentially, changing the f-stop setting of the camera the photo was painted with. :)

I like!

Why all the blur? Is that an artifact of the process?

Makes me think they're trying to hiding something.

If you follow the swirls backwards, it reads "Worship His Noodly Appendage".

Coolamundo!

My ex's roommate (a jeweler/artist) painted a version of Starry Night for me. It's quite good.

I don't care what anyone says: I luvz Van Gogh. I woulda been his girlfriend had I been alive then. ;)

Not a lot to say about these, but I think they are cool, and I like them. In hindsight, it's obvious that this can be done to paintings, but I think the person who thought of it is brilliant.

I keep seeing this as Tit-Shift. But that was Titian.

OK. A hundred years of model makers trying for the most realistic look possible.
These guys take reality and make it look fake. Now that's progress.
I am sure van Gogh would wish he had been able to make his pictures just like these.
I am afraid I can't understand all the superlatives in the various descriptions of the technique.

<< Exactly!! >>;)
