Tried a new technique yesterday with little success. I only got a couple to even be slightly usable (and not very interesting). As the saying goes, “try, try again”. Or was it “Do or do not. There is no try” ?

so what is the term for the blurring of the photo or fish eye here?
This was a (bad) attempt at tilt-focus. In this case, done via the poor mans method – in-camera since I don’t have photoshop or other suitable post processing software to do it right.
These aren’t that bad. I’ve never tried tilt-shift before. Do you unscrew the lens and physically hold it at an angle to create the blur/focus?
Thanks! The “real” way to do it would be with a special ($$) lens that allows you to tilt the lens in relation to the imaging element. Most people do with Photoshop where you can muck around with the focal plane. I did neither – discovered a setting in my camera that approximates it. In this case a small Canon Powershot I carry on bike rides/hikes.
I discovered that it’s really hard to find the actual focal plane in the image with this setting.
Try Tilt-Shift-Delete. Old windows trick…remember?
