Peeking at the pier

[Marika]

This is Llandudno pier from the Great Orme. In-camera tilt shift function, that only works on lower image quality, so no pixel peeping. Super minimal editing in LR. I thought I'll get this out of the way, so the rest of you can come out with your awesome photos!

Great shot and especially brilliant using tilt shift, which I use a lot. Perfect shot as far as I'm concerned with no issues at all. Works for me!

Thank you

Yep, very nice. Nicely composed and the miniature effect works well for this. No issue with image quality either

Nice - works for me despite not being a Fan of the effect...

I was secretly hoping you'd do an image with this effect.

Fantastic image and works well for me. Good job.

I've been eyeing up the lensbaby setup for this style, making me think I should take the plunge now! Really lovely and the miniature effect adds to that too

There's an online site that will convert images to this style...

Easily enough done even in lightroom, tbh. Just need the right image for it.

Don't all digital cameras have this effect nowadays? Only drawback is that it's jpeg only.

I think a lot of them do, yes. But the image quality is even worse than jpeg. It's just a bit of fun, although can be quite beautiful.

Image quality on mine's OK tbh, and I don't think yours is bad either. Sure you're not going to post them to billboard size, but for normal monitors they're fine imo.

Olympus Viewer lets you apply their "diorama" effect to a RAW file along with the other Art Filters after the fact. I think you maintain the same output quality as any other RAW process but I never checked it myself.
