This is some rather amazing tilt shift photography. Everything looks tiny, a bit odd and far away. If you look long enough they will make you kind of dizzy. I love it.

Tilt-shift miniature faking is the term used to describe pictures of life size areas that appear to be much smaller. These images taken from the 200-meter tall Federation Tower were manipulated to make Moscow look very tiny, an effect Putin no doubt would not find amusing.

You probably know about tilt-shift effect that is highly popular among some photographers. It uses a special lens that gives a real-world scene the illusion of being a miniature model. You can reach quite the same effect in Photoshop by adjusting color, contrast and depth of focus of your pictures. Serena Malyon, a student of an art school, decided to try tilt-shifting using paintings to see what would happen. And she got these rather interesting manipulations of some works by Van Gogh.

The Harvest, 1888

A great tilt-shift technology continues to open the new world to me. This is the world where everything is so small, so tiny, and so cute.
