All the photos below are of real places, despite what your eyes may tell you. They may seem like skillfully made children's toys, but these are photographs, taken using a technique called “Tilt-Shift”, in which the photographer would tilt his camera to a specific angle, in order to achieve a miniaturized scene. "Tilt–shift" combines two different methods of movements: The first being a rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and the second is the movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. |
