TiltShift - continuing to evolve

Continuing on my theme at the moment of making data/tools available and seeing what people can do with them I want to bring in Tilt Shift photography. This is something which has been featuring heavily on the Digitial Urban blog over the last few months.

Tilt Shift t is an online application for an old photography trick. What is nice to see is the recent proliferation of new applications to this. Mustardcuffins has used a mixture of tilt shift and time lapse photography to produce a really quite nice video. This is similar to my most favorite recent online video (below).

Now the point of this all in my mind is once again showing that there really is a innovative and imaginative audience out there. The increasingly large amount of tools, methods and information which is being provided, bombarded some may say, onto the public is producing some really nice results.

Wouldn't it just be lovely to see some online GI tools and data, produced in an innovative and easy to use way which could allow these sorts of users to develop off. Who knows what may be produced. UCL have achieved astonishing success with their maptube which I would suggest is the first application of such sorts.
