Okay, so “phenomenon” might be a little overstated, but there has been a pronounced trend online lately towards using or replicating a tilt-shift lens effect to make a normal photograph look like a miniature. Sam Javanrouh over at daily dose has produced some really interesting results with it here, here and, with a slight twist, here. So has his friend Shahin. And this morning, PingMag featured images of a “Tiny Tokyo” inspired by the work of Olivo Barbieri.
Very cool effect. You can learn how to do this to your own photos from this tutorial over at Receding Hairline. Here are my initial attempts. If you have any success send us the results and we’ll post them. Have fun!
UPDATE: Travis sends us this great shot looking over Toronto.
UPDATE: Thanks to Leonskibeat for this contribution.

Here is mine. It’s pretty sad compared to all the ones people have sent in.
