This batch of tilt-shift images was made with the Art&Mobile TiltShift Generator. You can use it via the Web or download it via AdobeAir. It’s a free application, but the effect isn’t as striking as it is when done with Photoshop. It’s good for experimenting with, though.

Photo gallery: Cardinals vs. Reds 8.12.09
Back in January during the Cardinals Caravan stop at SHG, The Girl won one of the door prizes: a Lou Brock bobblehead and a voucher for two tickets to a 2009 game.
