Tilt

I was chatting with a workmate last night who is a keen photographer, who was telling me about a process that enables you to make normal shots look like miniature models. Kind of like the reverse of what Godzilla movies try to do.

Chud.com had more information on it (and are quoting Wikipedia here):
Tilt-shift miniature faking is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a miniature scale model. By distorting the focus of the photo, the artist simulates the shallow depth of field normally encountered with macro lenses making the scene seem much smaller than it actually is.

The effect is quite nifty. File this in your “cool but kinda pointless” folder:

This is very cool Beef, I'd love to get me one of those tilt shift lenses but it's hard to justify £1500 on something that makes normal things look cool. Actually, that sounds like pretty bloody good justification now I think about it, I might have to see what sort of deals the internet can offer!
