Photo Challenge: Day 21 -Tilt Shift Photography

Tilt Shift photography is where a city scene picture is edited to look like a miniature city. Different things are done within photoshop to give an existing photo that fake look. I found a link at some point a few months ago that gave a tutorial on it and I decided to attempt it for myself. While I cannot find the original link I used, I have included the following which does the same.

Photo Challenge: Day 20 – Age Progression

My photo challenge has turned into whenever I have a chance to post challenge. At least I am occasionally learning some new skills.
Last week was my co-workers 40th birthday. We decided as a team to torture him by wrapping everything in his desk in black, putting some Grecian hair formula on his desk, and a couple other miscellaneous things. We decided it would be neat to take a photo of him and have it age progressed to make him look old. There are software programs out there to do that but I decided this would be a good time to brush up on my Photoshop skills. I obtained a photo off our network drive at work and did my own touching up. Below is the result.
