Probably the luckiest video I will capture...

[Nikon1]

Just my opinion - but I like the "no tilt shift."

Congratulations on that shot!

1Did you add some sort of vignetting? If so, the second tilt shift vid would do it for me.... Great shot tho

 

[J3ffrey]

So what do you suggest? I get a helicopter and a DSLR with a tilt shift lens to achieve the real thing? lol.

Just for you mate

Cropped the video to get some lens flare out.

Nope. I played around with vignetting but didn't like what I saw.

Keep the tilt shift miniature effect. This is a perfect scene for this kind of effect

 

[TomMcW]

The colors are fantastic! That low sun passing through the bridge supports is a great effect.

I like the tilt shift, fits the scene. Well done!

 

[jarettp]

I personally prefer the second tilt shift. I feel like it came out a lot more natural.

 

[Mako79]

I think alot of users don't appreciate the heavy saturated minaturised-tilt-shift effect.
I love it.
Drop some frames to get the animated tilt-shift Thomas the tank engine feel.

Interesting, having watched both versions I thought the simulated Tilt Shift was a little overdone but actually I really like the unfiltered version better. Great lighting, what time of day?

Right before sunset.

 

[Kilrah]

Unfiltered version much better IMO too, very nice with the great light. Both are pretty heavily compressed and mushy though.

 

[Mavic 57]

Excellent, well done.

I vote no tilt-shift effect and go easy on that saturation. Great shot but I'd re-work the grading.

I got a similar shot recently, and did the same thing... Very cool!

I have no clue how to do tilt shift, but I do know the best ones look like this.

That is really amazing footing. You know there's a saying that success happens at the intersection of preparation and luck...you were successful!

 

[ageer]

Where is that location?

 

[hibby]

So I was honestly just trying to get a nice shot of the bridge and the marina when this happened...

Sorry for such an amateurish question but your view seems to very smoothly flying back and up at the same time. How do you achieve such smooth angular flight? Was it manually controlled or programmed?

Awesome shot by the way.
