Tilt-shift style photos are photographs of real life scenes that are made to look like miniature scale models. And
Tilt-shift Maker is a website that will fake it for you: upload your digital photo and it's manipulated to look like a miniature model. Fun! Some pictures work better than others, so read the tips. I tried it with this photo I took in Venice. Above is the miniaturized version. Do those look like teeny buildings and model boats? (Click to view larger.) Below is the original.
Check out their
photo gallery of samples. Interesting.

ReplyDeleteWait...why not just buy and paint your *own* scale models or miniatures?
ReplyDeleteOr am I missing the point?
Isn't that tilt shift stuff weird? I keep looking at it and can't figure out why it is that it looks like a miniature. All photos are already just mini versions of what you saw, right? I don't know. It just perplexes me.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you watched Dollhouse? The beginning sequence is done in tilt shift. So strange. And yet so compelling.
It does kind of look like little model buildings! Cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun discovery! Off to check their site!
ReplyDeleteUmm I have to say, I don't understand. to me, it just looks like the top of the photo is blurry in the miniature version.
ReplyDeleteI think the ones in their gallery turned out better. I can kinda see it. I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeletei've never seen anything like this. if i could ever get some good city shots i would definitely try it out.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this so much! I've already uploaded a few photos of my own!
