Tilt-Shift Photography: Miniaturizing Everything

Jun 12, 2009

Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of tilt-shift capable lenses along with large aperture to create a very shallow depth of field. By narrowing down the line of focus on a particular object, you can stage a "toy-like" scenery out of an otherwise ordinary landscape. Also, check out these 50 examples of tilt-shift photography and if you're interested in trying this jam out, there are couple ways to do this: 1) you can buy a special lense (starting from $1000 and up) or 2) you can process your photos using Photoshop or try the Tilt-Shift Generator.
