Is it real, or is it tilt shift?
In this case, it’s tilt shift—a photographic technique that is used to create special effects when taking a photo. During tilt shift photography, the camera lens is shifted and tilted at different angles to change the focus of the picture in unusual ways.

| The real photo. |
In particular, tilt shift photography can make real-life scenes look like miniatures, or models.
The photos on this page were made using TiltShiftMaker, a website that lets you upload a real photo and change it into one that looks like a model. Photos taken from above the subject yield the best results.
TiltShiftMaker lets you transform existing digital photos into cool miniature-style pictures, as on this page.

A shout-out to Confessions of a Train Geek, where I first learned about Tilt Shift.
Great pictures, and thanks for the shout-out!
ReplyDeleteJohn, you've got me hooked on Tiltshiftmaker. I'd seen the effect before, but that link got me going, and before you know it, I was tilting and shifting about 20 photos. I'll be posting the results to my blog header on Trackside Treasure. One is there now - a Bayview Junction shot of a GO F-unit APU that looks like it's passing through Woodland Scenics ground foam.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
