Tilt-Shift Piracy

Last week my friend David brought my attention to some online examples of tilt-shift photography, along with some faked tilt-shift miniature photographs. My interest was piqued enough by the counterfeits to attempt my own forgeries; below are the results. These photos were taken (by me) with either a Canon S500 or a Panasonic DMC-LX2 and post-processed using Photoshop, to make them look like miniatures photographed with a macro lens. Click on a pic for more information on the location, to see the original unretouched image, or to view a larger size.
