Tilt Shift Photo's

My own personal opinion is ..... yes it is !

However good a model house, tree or loco are they still have the appearance of a model. If the background is 'true life' photo I feel, to my eye, it exaggerates that effect.

We all have our own ideas on modelling and at least this one you can try for 'free' !

The backdrop (back scene) should be a good deal less detailed than the foreground.

a) this is so in real life - the further away, the less detail you see; b) the more detail in the background, the more it draws the eye from the trains in the foreground.

Sometimes even a plain blue sky is enough.

Some of the Bognor Regis Model Railway club members are constructing a model designed to be operated by children at shows. One of their members brought a backscene he'd just purchased. They added it to a board, placed (my) old Lima DMU on the track and the results can be seen starting here.

Enjoy

Me. It's still obviously a model.

So, how exactly do you propose to use the tiltshift effect on a backscene?
