Thanks :)
Your train is cancelled due to the lack of the tea can on the footplate.

Here are my attempts, it can be quite fun!!

I'll start off with a couple of 15" ones, one from Cleethorpes and one from the 2008 Kirklees Gala.

Now for some 7.25" ones. These I feel have been less successful, mainly because the people on them or so much larger to the trains in relative terms:

You'll find that the best ones are where the focal point (ie the non-blurred part) is entirely non-blurred.

If you can get that object unblurred completely, it'll look rather better.

If you have half an object or person blurred, with their feet or body in focus, it just looks wrong and isn't tricking the eye. That's the limitation of the tilt-shift faker online - it's a defined straight line of focus. If you have photoshop or another similar programme then you can be more selective about what you're blurring.

I know this is slightly off topic but it works on 00 models aswell but in reverse.....here's a pic of my bachmann pannier....this was done without any manipulation so its not as good.
you'll have to ignore the slight lack of scenery Its a new layout that goes around the top of my room. :D :D
