30 Amazing Tilt Shift Photographs

29. Nov, 2009 25 Comments .

Tilt Shift photography is becoming a bit of a trend lately, with a great deal of photographers using the technique to transform normal scenes into a tiny toy world.
Here I’ve compiled the best Tilt Shift photographs on the web. I’ve searched for different, unique photos which use the technique in a way that just makes you go ‘wow’. Hopefully they can act as inspiration for your own tilt shift photography.

Be sure to check out the PhotoGuides tutorial for photoshopping tilt shift. It’s really very easy and the results are stunning.
Enjoy!

    It’s fairly obvious which are done with a tilt-shift lens and which are done in Photoshop. The photoshop technique is nowhere near as good as using an actual architectural tilt-shift lens. Still, it looks good when it’s done right.

    The Gold Dust Saloon photo is unnerving due to the cartoonishness of the subject. It looks like a model because it’s a scaled up model scaled back down in the camera. Clever stuff.

    Some of these are really miniatures I would say. “Kleiner Harz” for example.

    But the style is interesting anyway.
