Fake Tilt-Shift with TiltShiftMaker

Fake Tilt-Shift

Tilt-shift refers to tilting a camera lens relative to the image plane combined with using a large aperture to create a shallow depth of field. The result is a real-life picture that appears to look like a miniature model.

Tilt Shift Maker lets you transform your existing digital camera photos into tilt-shift miniatures online, letting you tweak the result with a few simple tools.

Well it should be called "Tilt/shift miniature fakes maker" since those lenses were created with other purposes in mind.

That effect of making things look like a model is cool, but the lens also allows for excellent architectural shots with decreased perspective distortion, and can help keep an entire object in focus even if it's at an angle in the picture.

Certainly this piece of software is ideal if this miniature effect is all you're after, since the lenses often cost over a thousand clams.


It reminds me of the photos at this site: http://www.cityshrinker.com.


thanks so much for the post, want to get into this stuff.
