Creating miniatures - pseudo tilt shift

Creating miniatures - pseudo tilt shift, originally uploaded by Digital Monk.

Came across an interesting photography technique called Tilt-shifting sometime back. You can read about it on Wikipedia.

Although I have never seen or used a tilt-shift lens, I went on to create the above 'fake' tilt-shift photo in under a minute! And you can do so too. It's very very simple and you need to know only Photoshop basics. Find out about it on my Blog here.
