Tilt-shift photography

"Tilt-shift photography" means the use of camera movements on small and medium-sized cameras, and sometimes explicitly the use of selective focus on the most expensive, often to simulate a miniature stage. Sometimes the term is used when the depth of field of a digital simulation post-processing, the name may be due to the tilt-shift lens is normally required when the effect is made optically.

"Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two types of movements: rotation of the plane of the lens image plane, called the slope and parallel movement of the lens and the image plane, called change. Pitch is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (POF), and therefore part of an image that appears sharp, which uses the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to adjust the position of the subject in the area of ​​the image without moving the camera back, which is useful to avoid the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings
Another, less cost-intensive technique called “tilt-shift miniature faking” is a process in which a photograph of a life-sized location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a miniature-scale model.
