TiltShiftMaker •

From Dan Benjamin:

Tilt-shift refers to tilting a camera lens relative to the image plane combined with using a large aperture to create a shallow depth of field. The result is a real-life picture that appears to look like a miniature model.

If you get as giddy about the tilt-shift effect as I do, but don’t have room in your camera kit for a dedicated lens, this Web site is for you. Enjoy.
