You can check out a beautiful picture of lightning arcing through the clouds while the shuttle Discovery is rolling out to the launch pad. Stunning!

Unfortunately, an actual tilt-shift lens can cost thousands of dollars. The Lensbaby
is another option for this type of photography, but it isn’t a true tilt-shift. However, there are a number of software options for tilt-shift imaging. You can, of course, make judicious use of masks and blurring in Photoshop, but often you just want to do something quick-and-dirty to spice up a blog post.
There’s a new Adobe AIR app that creates tilt-shift images for you and it’s free. Check out Tilt Shift Generator from Art & Mobile.
