In this regard, the “Snow Bunny” photo<\/a> I posted yesterday qualifies as tilt shift because I used Photoshop to selectively sharpen some areas of the image while blurring others (although to be fair to my camera, I only “enhanced” the natural depth of field in the original photo).<\/p>\n This technique won’t appeal to everyone, but I like the effect of combining selective focus with oversaturated colors to give a sort of garish, retro look to otherwise mundane scenes.

Tilt-Shift miniature faking is a creative technique whereby a photograph of a life-size location or object is manipulated to give an optical illusion of a photograph of a miniature scale model. That’s the definition given on the Tilt-Shift Photography website.
