Could someone explain how they do it?

[KeithS]

I have a friend in Canberra who is massively into Tilt-Shift photography - so he could explain it.

But for the sake of ease - I refer to Wikipedia (and if it's in Wikipedia, it must be true ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography

Basically, they use a digital still camera and take lots of still photos using a tilt-shift lens which changes the depth of field - this change in the depth of field confuses the brain in to thinking you are looking at something small - like a miniature (in fact, if you photograph a miniature using a normal lens, you'll get the same effect).

Once they've taken all the photos, they stitch them together using a standard video program.

Today though, you can actually get Tilt-Shift software to convert you normal photos into tilt-shift (it is much cheaper than buying a fancy lens) - even programs like photoshop can create the tilt-shift blur. I'll have to experiment with this one day!
