Tilt Shift Photography

Tilt shift photography is a technique of photography used to have selective focus in an image. Tilt-shift photography was originally used for Architecture and sometimes landscape photography. It has been around for many years so it is nothing new but recently it has been used in a different way. Tilt-shift can also be used to simulate a miniature scene. By having a small depth of field and photographing from a higher angle a city scape can look like a miniature city with miniature people, cars and buildings. Here is an example of some tilt-shit shots. The tilt-shift effect can also be recreated/faked in photoshop and I have some of my own photographs here.
