Badly Tilted

It didn't really work. This is a road in the university which they've decided to semi-close, resulting in this guy standing there most of every day opening the road for a few cars that are allowed through.

Pentax K-x - 1/400 sec - f/0 - ISO 800 - ~50mm held in front of camera, at a slight angle.

Daylight.

Used GIMP to adjust levels, scale and watermark. Not a lot I can do here.

I've read a lot about how tilt-shifting works (If you've seen a stop motion video, or just photos where big stuff looks strangely miniature, that's likely to be how they did it). It turns out its a lot harder to get right than I thought. I'm not even really sure what I need to do to get it to work. Wider lens? Narrower lens? Bigger or smaller gap? Better light sealing? I don't know.
