I want to learn to do tilt-shift photography. I love the toy effect. It involves using tilt-shift, perspective control lenses, to take a wide angle picture and make it look like a miniature scene.

The photographs are strange and inviting when done correctly.

However, on the video sharing site Vimeo, there is a Sydney photography (Keith Loutit) that combines tilt-shift techniques with time-lapse videography. The effect is mesmerizing.

Here’s the problem. Perspective control lenses are expensive and hard to use! Maybe one day…
