This is from a wedding I couldn't attend. This photographer took amazing shots but I was wondering how you get this radial blur.

Mod edit: If you want to show images that you haven't personally shot, or other material, just post a link to it as there are © issues?

That was probably done with a tilt-shift lens, but there is a PS effect that one can do to get almost the same effect.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Very similar and it might have been a lens baby though I would hope a wedding photog is using slightly higher quality glass. :)

But you never know. The lens baby definitely does the tilt part of tilt-shift. :)

Well, after spending a half hour on this guy's website, I'm blown away! I would share it if it's allowed.

Pick up a tilt-shift lens or a lens baby. It is pretty simple to do it in PS though.

You can insert a piece of paper with a hole in the middle and place directly in front of the lens. The size of the hole will depend, you need to set the lens in manual focus and at the right focal point, you should get a circular aperture diffraction pattern which in turns creates a focused image right in the middle of the photo and saturated out of focus outside that area. This would give you an circular area in the middle where it is in focus and gradually becomes out of focus as it moves away from the center.

Kinda like Bokeh.

With a tilt shift lens, you can move the lens around while capturing the image. the center of the lens will not move or only have slight movement while the outer part will causing it to become out of focus. This would be similar to panning.

Edit: Or you can just save yourself some time, capture an image where everyone would be in focus and just edit it in photoshop where the chances of you getting the final results is much more likely than what the camera would provide.

gjl0711 that is exactly what I am looking for. It's that "3D viewer" look. Was that PS or a lens? Moderator, I posted all credit to the correct photographer and gave his website. I don't mean to cause any copyright issues.

That was done via photoshop. I would love to have a tilt-shift lens, but have other priorities. ;)
