Tilt-shift photography

This isn’t just some fringe movement - tilt-shift photography has even made it’s way into the New York Times, with the utterly cool work of photographer Vincent LaForet. Check out this awesome slideshow of his best work.If you’re curious, here’s how tilt-shift photography works. A tilt-shift lens allows the photographer very exacting control over the depth-of-field in an image, much more than any regular lens could provide. Focus can be restricted to a single, narrow band, with everything else rapidly blurring away. This distorts the appearance and makes the eye think that distances are a lot smaller than they typically are. When applied to a large scene like a city or a museum, everything appears miniature.
