These pictures were taken with a tilt-shift lens. Look ‘em up on Google. The Macro effect is just one of the things you can achieve with such a lens.

im having a hard time believing the third photo down is a real photo of a real city. the road looks way too smooth and even. as in there are no cracks or blotches of color. the others, however, seem very real.

These are really marvelous. I really love these. Years ago, I used to take two photographs side-by-side, sometimes aerial, so they could be viewed stereoscopically. They would look very similar to these, only in 3-D. I got the idea as a reversal effect to what I’d already been doing with miniature models, by taking side-by-side shots very close together to make them look big in stereoscopic viewing. 3-D photography of any kind was very big as a specialty genre back then. Maybe, when Olivio is up taking pics or at any level like street level or indoors, he can take two side-by-side pics as he does them here with the lens to have them combined in steroscoping viewing to enhance the effect.

He blurs out areas in a gradient from a “focal” point. This gives the impression that a macro lens is being used i.e. taking a picture of something very small on a high magnification which in turn makes the focal length smaller in proportion. A wide angle of anything gives a large focal area while zoom(magnification) gives a small area. Easy enough to do and very effective. J

I just got back home after driving around for an hour cause some stupid German officials wouldn’t let me in my house cause of some stupid parade! These illusions are cooland all, but somehow you can tell they are miniature. I don’t know why.
