Is there an opposite technique to tilt-shift photography, tricking the brain to see miniatures as real?
Hi, I am amazed by tilt-shift photography. It is interesting to see how easily our mind is tricked and misinterprets scale. I was wondering if there is a technique which achieves the opposite of tilt-shift photography, which can trick the mind into perceiving miniatures as real size. Is this possible? And has this technique a name? Thanks!
The reason why our minds are tricked is because the photo has an unusually thin depth of field, which is normally associated only with close-up photography, not architecture or landscape. You can also tilt it in a way that gives you more depth of field, such as the effect shown here in the middle of the page: http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/hartblei_120_4_pc_n10/page5.asp
As you can see, however, the image is still very macro-looking. Another reason why macro photos are almost immediately recognisable is because of the perspective- almost, if not all macro lenses are in the medium-telephoto category. Telephotos compress features, giving macro shots their "distinctive" look. There really isn't a way to transform macro photography into "normal" photography.
