Tilt and shift lenses can be a very valuable tool for photographers. They can be used to create several different special effects that can really make for a creative image. One of these coolest effects these lenses can create is known as tilt-shift miniature faking.

Tilt-shift miniature faking gives the illusion that you are looking at a miniature, handmade set when, in reality, you are looking at a real landscape.
