Tilt + shift = miniature

To revert back to tradition I (Matt) will be bring you a non-design related post.

As I was wandering around the web after a very design heavy day I stumbled upon something rather wonderful. I discovered a new style of photography that really caught my eye, tilt shift. Even though its fairly new to me I have been informed, after an office discussion, that it has been around for ages. I won’t bore you with the exact details on how it is done but the clue is in the title.

That’s enough words, lets get straight into some lovely images to help me to show you want exactly I am going on about.

How the lens makes the real world look tiny is almost unbelievable. I also did spot a bit of video like this in some of the numerous Olympic montages.

I must apologise for the lack of cats or design in the post, now off to bed I go!
