These are pretty cool. A tilt/shift lens has something to do with the perspective, I think. I've not had chance to use one, but I know my college has one I'd love to use. :)
i thought it was done by blurring the outside of the lens or something? i remember reading that you can do it by using Vaseline on the side of the lens and shooting at a skewed angle. don't take my word on this you know you're way better at this stuff than i am xD
I kind of know how it works now!
We looked at them on Friday, it alters the perspective and is used mainly in architectural photography so that the viewpoint is correct, because when you take a photo of a building with a standard lens there can be distortion and the edges of the building might not be parallel to the edge of the frame, a tilt shift lens corrects it :)
Use the reply button, bottom right. The (short version) reason is: PS is fake. Condensed long version: Using an actual lens slightly alters the light's characteristics, which made some of the above pictures seem cartoonish. With a program, you just blur out most of the picture, making it look like the lens was smudged.
