Tilt Shift Miniature Model Effect Photography
A few weeks ago, I shared a Flickr photo with my stumble friends & some of them mention to me this photography is named “tilt-shift”, in which the objects looks like a miniature-scale model, thanks to their response. It looks interesting to me, the subject look unreal, post-processed with some effects.
The original tilt-shift is a photography technique which uses the camera movement to capture an actual size objects, manipulate it and make the objects looks like a miniature scale model. In many cases, tilt-shift photography uses tilt-shift lens and large aperture to produce a shallow depth of field on the photo.
However, with the computer graphic processing technology today, an original photo can be easily manipulated to achieve the miniature scale effect. You can do-it-yourself, add miniature effect to your photographs. Shoot objects from the high direction, select portions of your photo & blur it with your image processing software to imitate the narrow depth of field found in the tilt-shift photography.
Presented below are the examples of tilt-shift photography, see which one has the most miniature scale effect.
