I do quite a bit of graphic design work on the side and will post things I find useful or inspiring. Tilt-shift photography encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt-shift miniature style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like model photographs. Here is a video of live shots taken using this style.

Here is a website that sort of gives you the same effect. Not true tilt-shift but fun nonetheless. enjoy.
