Tilt Shift

looks cool.

"Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to change the line of sight while avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings.

In many cases, "tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of tilt and a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field.

basically it makes objects and real people look small. Cool effect.

  1. Watching this just makes me think we are all inside of like.. God's Bathtub. Everything goes from being so huge and important to small and insignificant by a very simple tilt of the head and shift of the mindset.. I know you didn't mean for this to be a philosophical discussion but I think this video would make an interesting focal point of discussion for people of our mind stature .. don't you?
