Yes, I'm 31 and I'm just now trying Photoshop. Please, stop laughing. Just because half of our friends are artists doesn't mean you just automatically learn it.
Doesn't one have to go through a period of overdoing everything in sight until the mysteries of Photoshop reveal themselves? Well, that's where I'm at. Binge-filtering like a sailor on shore leave. And I don't even care!
And what better excuse than to try Fake Tilt-Shift photography. I saw some cool examples in the New York Times "Year In Ideas" issue, and then Flickr has a whole group of FTS'ers.
The basic idea is that you take a photo, blur it, color, and do some other stuff to make it look like a tiny model. Who would make a model of Copenhagen? Nobody. Which is why it's extra fun to try and fake it. I took this photo last summer from a steeple in above Copenhagen. Also, check out the mini-airlift.

This is freakin' awesome! Thank goodness I still have 4 years to learn this stuff before out-un-cooling you!
Yeah, like that's real. I know a scale model when I see one.
Nice try dude.
My college buddy Sean McFarland does similar stuff, but 5 years ago and without photoshop. Prepare yourself: http://www.humboldt.edu/~spm5/photographs.html
