I got a new camera for Christmas and one of its awesome features is a "miniature" program setting which simulates a tilt-shift lens. The effect explained by Wiki:
"Blurring parts of the photo simulates the shallow depth of field normally encountered in making the scene seem much smaller than it actually is; the blurring can be done either optically when the photograph is taken, or by digital post-processing. Many faked-miniature photographs are taken from a high angle to simulate the effect of looking down on a miniature."
So, the most successful shots were vast landscapes or taken from some height, but really everything turned out adorable.
A look at the effect and how it affects your sweet brain:
From musty ladie's bathroom...
...to adorable gnome's cottage I want to make my home!p.s. All shots taken at breathtaking Multnomah Falls in Oregon, except
-my parents' living room
-submarine outside the OMSI taken on a rare cloudy day on the Willamette River in downtown Portland
-gnome cottage restroom near the Rose Test Gardens in Portland (How cool is that name?)
