Tools for the Imagination

Still loving the tiny model town at Pegasus, I decided to go one further after discovering this online tool which enables you to create your own Mike-Hunter-styles miniatures.
Tilt-shift miniature faking is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a miniature scale model. By distorting the focus of the photo, you can simulate the shallow depth of field normally associated with macro lenses making the scene seem tiny and model-like.
My ones aren't too exciting yet, I just used a couple of snapshots I had already. If you have the right image, it can look quite convincing.
