    #15 isn’t a tilt shift photo. That’s all photoshop. I guarantee.

    Hey Harvey – you’re right. Although a little clueless – TiltShift Photography is a technique done within PhotoShop. If you’re going to act like a photoshop expert, at least know what the heck you’re talking about.

    bbailey:

    Tilt shift photography is an in-camera technique that can be done with certain large-format cameras. The effect can be duplicated in Photoshop, which is what was probably done with most of these pictures.

    And yes, #10 doesn’t belong here. That is a picture of real miniatures.

    Peter:

    Applying a blur effect in Photoshop is not “tilt-shift photography”, so the title of this list is a misnomer.

    @bbailey: Nikon and Canon make tilt-shift lenses for their SLRs so it’s no longer the domain of large-format cameras, but otherwise you’re absolutely correct.
