The trees in this picture may appear to be tiny model trees, but in fact they are real, living olive trees in the heart of Jerusalem. Tilt-shift photography tricks the eye into thinking it’s looking at a miniature set. These kinds of images get their name from “tilt-shift” lenses, which allow photographers to manipulate the perspective and focus of their images. In digital post-production, the effect can be imitated by strategically blurring certain areas of an image.

For a quick and easy way to try this effect with your own photos, check out www.tiltshiftmaker.com. Note that aerial photos are best suited for this kind of virtual shrinking because real model sets are typically viewed from above.
