Ranomafana hills

A tilt-shift of the edge of the Ramofana national park. Around the edge are some tourist accomodations and small pockets of agriculture.

  I'm happy with your remark, because that is exactly the goal of a tilt-shift: making things look like miniatures.
  
  Technically, a tilt-shift is a post processing action where a small band of the image is in focus, whilst both the foreground and background are out of focus. This creates the illusion of a minitiature:

  In my case, I applied this effect using Adobe PS6, where it is a built-in option. You only need to draw the line that you want in focus. Posted 12 years ago
