NAB use Keith Loutit’s tilt shift photography

I posted on Keith Loutit’s ’tilt-shift photography’ technique a while back. First finding his work on Vimeo. Good to see NAB / ClemengerBBDO (Melbourne) using him and his technique in their latest ad ‘The Little Wonders’.

Don’t go here…

I’m sharing my photos not the location. A piece of heaven in the countryside. Wood burning stove, my lovely lady, uninterrupted views, dancing birds and chilled out baby cows. Keep it special – don’t go there.

Great stop-frame story of a fisherman’s rescue from the rocks near Tamarama beach by photographer Keith Loutit. The photo effect makes the people seem like plastic figurines in a diorama. I’ve found a few tutorials on how to make this effect with stills photography on Digg.

My Bestival Friends

Oh how I miss England. Such a relief to see my friends haven’t changed one little bit. Mortgages don’t effect them, marriages or even having children. Life is a party! I raise a glass to you all. Rob, Bruce and Olly!
