  This shot is certainly not photoshopped. Why are we so cynical these days? The caption says it's done with a tilt-shift lens, and it's the only one by Chuck Kennedy. He was obviously hired to set up this exact kind of shot while Pete Souza (the official WH photog) was busy doing his job for history. I happen to think it's quite noteworthy that we have creative minds working for our government willing to capture our history in such a unique and novel way. I applaud this.

  Technically this is an Obama Tilt. Not a tilt-shift.

  • Hmmm. I stand corrected.– duckofrubber

  I wonder what the photographer had in mind concept-wise. The 'miniature effect' seems a bit negative or critical in this context.

  • don't get confused, it's called selective focus– version31/2

    ... plus, it LOOKS COOL! :D– iCanHasQBN2/2

  Pelosi drives me crazy. She's like the obnoxious soccer mom on the sidelines.

  Personally I think it's the worst tilt-shift I've ever seen. Works better on objects with a higher vantage point. This, quite honestly, just looks blurry and does not have that "miniature model" feel that most good tilt-shift does.

  THIS, however, is excellent.

  • soooo good– Invalid1/3

    awesome– Gucci2/3

    thats frikkin great– jimzyk3/3

  Tilt-shift was the new HDR in 2008.

• version3

  proper use of a tilt shift lens is to remove perspective from tall buildings or wide open spaces that need photographed without suffering from the available vantage point

  • I prefer to think of it as, there are no rules for photography– Meeklo1/2

    point being the tilt shift was built to solve the listed problems– version32/2

  mg33: Well, it's maybe not as effective as it could be, I suppose, but it's far from the worst tilt-shift (or just tilt) that I've ever seen. I don't know, I simply appreciate seeing some creative initiative in government.
