I guess my subsequent post led me to this one.

I am going to have to look this up but I could swear this was something we learned in our large format camera studio class.  It was when learning how to maneuver the 8×10 and 4×5 cameras.  I’m glad those days are gone.

Now it is an artform.  Or a style.  “Tilt-Shift” photography.  It is fake, of course – it isn’t really about physically tilting and shifting, and yet it isn’t really “fake” – it is just a matter of post-production – the manipulation of an image.  It isn’t a matter of how you get there – the process – just that you get to your end results, right?

Check it out:

Examples of Tilt-Shift Photography

I guess this is a tutorial of how to fake it via Photoshop.

This photograph delights me in every sort of way.  The whimsy of it, the genius of it … the simplicity.  The way the miniaturization actually intensifies the notion of an abandoned, isolated playground.
