I was just messing around with my iPhone today and shot this old shed. I gave it a tilt-shift blur, which makes it look like a model / mini scale.
Have you ever tried to explain where you get your ideas, inspiration or thoughts? For me I believe none of it is mine and it just comes to me from the “universe”. As long as I am “aligned” and not trying to force it, it comes. I have spoken about meditation in the past and how that helps me. Too airy fairy? To out there?
It is not only folks like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle and such who believe this. Many many artists believe the same. As it appears even someone like Kurt Cobain knew this as his truth. Check out these lyrics from one of his songs “Oh me”
“I don’t have to think,
I just have to do it,
The results are always perfect,
And that is old news.”
“I can’t see the end of me,
My whole expanse I cannot see,
I formulate infinity,
Stored deep inside of me.”
Pretty powerful right? Enjoy
LOVE tilt shift!
Me too. Tks for visiting.
Love the shed.
She is old and beaten though. I love it too.
Good read. The image is calm and relaxing. Thanks for sharing Nonoy Manga
Thanks Nonoy.
Nice photo! I enjoy the feeling of calmness after mediation. It clears my mind and allows more creative thoughts to flow. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.
I agree that my best work is when I’m not trying to produce something; when my mind is not worried about trying to get today’s shot. I don’t meditate in the normal way, my form involves prayer, which clears the mind of problems and worries, and lets me be as creative as possible
Love the tilt shift, buy the way! What app do you use? (a lens is not in the budget, for a while, i’m sure)
Jeremy, thanks for sharing. I do the same actually, so we have something in common. Because I used my iPhone for this I edited in Snapseed – great app and is only $4.95. You can also download snapseed for Desktop or Mac I believe. So a lot cheaper than buying a lens.
if you have photoshop check out this tutorial on doing tiltshift.

I totally agree with Kurt Cobain….on some of my photos it’s as if the Universe takes me by the shoulders and points me to where I need to be looking. I have to be open to that and listen.
Nice, I like that. tks for comments.
Ha. “42 other bloggers like this post.” The perfect number.
Great photo! I agree with Kurt Cobain as well… Whenever I do my photos, I… I think I just look at it and listen to my inner self and then suddenly I got those ideas in my head what to do… It is a little bit airy fairy
Thanks for comments. Airy fairy to others maybe, but to those similar in thinking to us, not so.
it does look small. makes such a difference.
