yea tilt shift lenses are really cool too. usually really expensive tho. i don't know exactly how they work internally but i know they give the look of taking a macro shot of a scale model set. i've seen some shots of cars using tilt shift that looks like a real car is a die cast model. it's a weird effect but it's different at the same time... i saw a video taken on a DSLR of a monster jam through a TSE lens and it was just insane

I used JPG for these shots but might try RAW next time. I'm really only having trouble when I try to produce high resolution final images. The smaller res turn out pretty good with minimal effort. Photoshop probably is the answer as 6spd mentioned. I probably won't spend too much time on this though. Just wanted to play around with it a bit and see how hard it was.

Man, I have always wanted to try HDR. I have nice DSLR, but never got into it. Might have to give it a try.
