By blurring the top and bottom of an image, as well as increasing its contrast and saturation, you can create a tilt-shift miniature fake that looks just as good (if not better) than the real thing."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1254773072.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Tilt-Shift photography has been around for, well, almost as long as photography has existed.&nbsp; It is a really neat way to making the real world look like the fake world.&nbsp; Personally, it makes me think of model trains and going "Toot!&nbsp; Toot!" but I digress.&nbsp; While the technique has been around for ages, with everything <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">going</span> being digital, there are several ways to do it without sophisticated SLR cameras with expensive lenses.&nbsp; A few clicks of the mouse and you've got your own SimWorld.&nbsp; Want to see what the world looks like in miniature?&nbsp; Check the the link and remind yourself that these are not miniatures!</p>
