Tilt Shift Photography



I came across these photos taken using the tilt-shift technique of photography. I've never seen photos like hese before r if ihave I was perhaps fooled into thining they were photos of minitiare villages or objects. Tilt-shift photography involves using both tilt and shift camera movements to simulate the depth of field of a macro lens, making normal objects and landscapes appear as though they’re actually miniature in scale. The effect can be incredibly powerful, instantly turning a sprawling metropolis into a miniature village or toy town. 

While some photographers use expensive cameras and lenses to create their tilt-shift images, others choose to use postproduction techniques instead. By blurring the top and bottom of an image, as well as increasing its contrast and saturation, you can create a tilt-shift miniature fake that looks just as good as the real thing. Some of the photos ive seen don't look as good as other's though, possibly because theyr'e fake which weren't done very well. These are pick of my favourites from a selection I found.
