Toy Motherland: the urban landscapes of Russia in the tilt-shift lens
Categories: Exhibition | Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/toy-motherland-the-urban-landscapes-of-russia-in-the-tilt-shift-lens.htmlAmateur photographers often experiment with different modes of photography to get unusual shots. One of these techniques is called tilt-shift: it consists in using a special lens that allows you to change the tilt of the optical axis.
Due to the shift of the optical axis, it is easier to control the perspective, as well as simulate the effect of macro photography, getting a spot of sharpness in the center of the frame. Due to the decreasing sharpness at the edges of the frame, the composition is perceived as a layout: the vision focuses on small objects in the center, blurring everything that remains out of focus.
In the hands of skilled photographers, this optical technique turns any landscape into a toy scene.
