A NY Giant's Miniature world: Tilt shift effect

Adding blur to  the fore ground and background of a picture can cause the optical illusion of a miniature lego blocks city. The tilt shift lens in your SLR kit is an enabler to these effects.

A far cheaper option is the digital post processing of a regular image. Here is a free tool to add tilt shift to a photo taken on a regular zoom lens.

Here are two shots, the first one taken I had taken at Central Park. The second one really works for me its a shot I took today from my room. The view from top further enhances this optical illusion.
