'''Tilt-Shift Miniature Faking''' is a process in which a photograph of a real location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a scale-model miniature.  By distorting the focus of the photo, the artist fools the eye into believing that the distances in the photograph are much smaller than they really are.

==Techniques==
The effect can be achieved optically by using a [[tilt-shift lens]].  It can be achieved digitally by blurring the top and bottom of the photograph so that only the subject is in focus.

This effect can also be obtained by using an image editor like [[Photoshop]]. It needs a gradient map focused in a middle stripe, and lens blur filter having applied.

==Trivia==

*Photographs taken with the technique have been used in a set of [[Commercial bumper|bumps]] on [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Adult Swim]] nighttime lineup.
