Tilt-Shift Pictures

These are my tilt shift pictures. To take these pictures we went in and around the school. We took them at high angles to get a better affect. We then took the pictures and edited them on photoshop, these are the steps i took:

1. First i opened the image in photoshop. Then i pressed the Q key to get quick mask mode.
2. Then i chose the reflected gradient tool. I then drew a vertical line on what part of the picture i wanted to be in focus. 
3. After i drew the vertical line, i pressed Q to exit quick mask mode, taking me back to standard mode. Should then get two parallel dotted lines. 
4. Then click Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Then when it was how i wanted i clicked OK. 
5. Then press control D to remove the dotted parallel lines. 
6. I then changed the saturation.  Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. 
7. Then i boosted the contrast and brightness. Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast. 
8. Then save your image.
