Tilt-Shift Photography

Look at these photographs.  Go ahead, take a closer look.  Don’t they look miniature and almost toy-like?

Welcome to the world of miniature faking. These are actually real locations but through a photography technique called tilt-shift, you can make things appear as though they were itty-bitty.  By manipulating your camera or by using a tilt-shift lens, this look can be achieved.

Happy weekend everyone!

    These photographs are incredible. Even knowing they’re real, I still find myself examining every little detail to double check.

  5. i was totally thinking about doing a tilt shift photography post as well!! i’ve always wanted to try my hand at it too but haven’t found the time. i think there are websites where you can load your picture and it will tilt shift it for you!
