Via BoingBoing, an on-line tool to create fake tilt shift photos. Very cool! There is also a Flickr group for images altered with TiltShiftMaker.
You can buy fancy-pants (expensive!) tilt shift lenses. The same effect is also sometimes achieved randomly when you take photos from airplanes. The “model village” effect is cool, so folks have devised ways to achieve it using PhotoShop. TiltShiftMaker is free and easier than faking it by hand.
