Tilt Shift photography is a method for simulating a shallow depth of field using special lenses that literally tilt and shift from the camera body. I’m compelled by these images and videos because when the optical illusion is convincing, they’re completely magical. Maybe it’s just about fooling yourself, because for me they’re all about the clarity and detail of an imagined miniature. But the effect is beautiful even if you’re not suckered in. In the videos at the bottom, “Harrowdown Hill” is amazing, if you haven’t already seen it, watch! The mixture of effects and animation with altered live footage is inspiring.

There are tons of these images all over the web and they’re easy to find. The most interesting, I think, are the tilt shift videos.
