With a [[view camera]], tilt can usually be set with [[View camera#Movements|movements]] built in to the camera; with a small- or medium-format camera, a [[tilt-shift lens|tilt/shift lens]] or adapter is usually required.


Sydney photographer and filmmaker Keith Loutit http://keithloutit.com/ attracted an internet and media sensation, following the release of his 'Bathtub' series of short films, that transformed both iconic and familiar Sydney scenes into miniature wonderlands. Known as the pioneer of the tilt-shift / time-lapse technique, Loutit was the first to recognize how time and focus combine to support the powerful illusion of miniaturization in film. In his scaled down and sped up realities, real world subjects become their miniature counterparts. Boats bob like toys in a bathtub, cars race like slot-cars, and crowds march as toy armies. Loutit's aim is create a sense of wonder in our surroundings by "challenging people's perceptions of scale, and helping the viewer to distance themselves from places they know well".⏎

A miniature can also be simulated digitally, using an image editor to blur the top and bottom of the photograph, so that only the subject is sharp. With basic techniques, e.g., a tool such as [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]] [[Photoshop]]'s Lens Blur filter,<ref>
