Toy Cars

If you look at this picture, you see two little toy cars in what appears to be a scale model setting (parking lot), just like the miniature settings used by Hollywood to cut costs. But believe it or not this is picture of a real parking lot with life-sized cars.

In the days of film, this method was known as "tilt shift" photography. The requirements were some expensive cameras and some tilt shift lenses. But luckily for us in the digital age, same results can be achieved via photo editing softwares.

This image is a demonstration of "fake tilt shift" effect, which is nothing but a regular high angled photo from above that was manipulated to give it a toy-like (scale model-like) look.
