"Not the best for the tilt-shift "lool"'
...I have no idea what is being said here. I suppose "lool" is supposed to be "look"? Is there a particular tilt shift look? Yes, the description mentions the whole miniature thing, but that is hardly the limit of a tilt shift optic. And what would be the "best" for the tilt shift "look"? A city from above?
People really need to stop confining themselves so much to what would be "best" and certain "looks".
I have no idea why I torture myself by entering challenges.

"Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Use this technique while shooting and processing your entry this week"
...see, it's the "sometimes" that has apparently messed me up. If this was to a be a faux tilt/shift mini challenge, It should have been titled thus. When the description referred to "this technique" I thought it was talking about selective focus. Honestly, there is more to tilt shift than just making minis.

Where did you get the idea that this was minature challenge? This was tilt/shift challenge...minatures are just tilt/shift's tacky little cousin. You know, the one that comes to visit, helps himself to all your food and leaves you the mess to clean up.
I seriously hope that you didn't vote this as a minatures challenge!!!
