How to make Miniature images with TiltShift Generator
September 9th, 2009
Here is a easy step of making “Miniature Like” image with my TiltShift Generator. Please fix my crappy English. :-(
If you don’t have an iPhone version, you can use my free online TiltShift Generator made with Flash.
Remove Atmosphere Effect
In our world atmosphere affects an image. It desaturates color of far location. On the other side, in miniature world, there is no atmosphere affection against color, because it is so close to our eyes.
To remove atmosphere effect, simply we apply strong saturation and contrast to the image.
Basically far place is not so vivid, because of the air layer.
To fix problem, we use strong saturation and contrast.
Changing focus and depth
If you see the something that is placed far place. You can clearly see many object around that one. However, if you see something that is very close to you. You can only see that object and any other things in your sight will be blurred.
Only focus on what you want to show, and keep any other background and foreground blurred.
Foreground and background are blurred. Because our range of focus should be very limited when we see small thing.
Camera angle
When you see a miniature, you will look down object from higher place. It is easy to miniaturerize if the image is taken from higher place and contains many objects. If image is taken by ground level and only contains close objects, it might be bit difficult to miniaturerize.
If you take a picture on the building or above the hill, it is very easy.
That’s it! Sometimes you can ignore those theory, if braking rule brings better results.
Try and enjoy :-)

Cool External Lens for iPhone
August 4th, 2009
Japanese Camera Brand Gizmon released cool external lens for iPhone.
One is Wide&Macro Lens, and the other is FishEye Lens. Both of them uses magnetic attachment to set themselvs to the iPhone, so thats quite easy to use. :-)
They are enough kind to open English page, when I ask them to write this article. I think worth to pay, but anyway first what kind of pics you can take with it.

Language issue of Application
July 27th, 2009Some people say that when they use ToyCamera / OldCamera their navigation is Japanese. I reserched the issue and find the problem. It will potentially happen with NON-English users.
It is language priority issue of iPhone. In your iPhone, if Japanese is treated as higher priority than English, it displays Japanese.
To solve problem,
1: Opne iPhone’s setting panel.
2: Find the language setting / its in the General setting.
3: Check language order, I think Japanese must be placed above the English.
4: Select English as your first language.
5: After select your mother language as your first language.
6: Now English has higher priority than Japanse.
It should be work like a charm :-)
