Tilt-shift photography<\/strong><\/a> is a method of photography that utilizes tilt-shift lenses<\/a> to overcome the restrictions of depth of field and perspective that normal lenses provide.<\/p>\n

A tilt-shift lens allows for the rotation of the lens against the image plane (tilt), as well as the movement of the lens along the image plane (shift). By applying Scheimpflug principle<\/a>, tilt-shift photography is able to obtain a very shallow depth of field using tilt and a large aperture.<\/p>\n

Tilt-shift miniature faking<\/a> is one of the most popular applications of tilt-shift photography. This is a process in which a photographer manipulates the angle of a tilt-shift lens to distort the focus of a scene to be captured by the camera, thereby creating an illusionary depth of field usually produced by macro lenses.<\/p>\n

This makes the particular scene appear smaller than it truly is.<\/p>\n

Due to the popularity of tilt-shift miniature faking, it is often misunderstood to be synonymous with the tilt-shift photography method itself. In reality, there are other effects that can be achieved from this method.<\/p>\n

For instance, tilt-shifting is widely used to capture architectural scenes because of its unique ability to remove perspective in photos and manipulate the plane of focus.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s 60 cool examples of tilt-shift photography<\/strong> for your inspiration.<\/p>\n
