What kind of lens/effect is this.

I can't get my hand wrapped around this.

I am just trying to figure out how they are getting this look. Is it te lens? maybe something else.

Thanks

It's a tilt shift lens.

Thank you. I assume thats what gives it a miniature look. Do you think it was done in post or is actually a tilt shift?

Visit RedGiant software, they have a tilt shift filter in their Magic Bullet suite incase you just want to simulate it in post.

There's a "Make Magazine" tutorial on making your own tilt-shift adaptor on YouTube...

Not sure. It could be either.

As someone mentioned, Red Giant makes a plugin to simulate the effect. Though, I've never used it so I can't speak for it's effectiveness.

oh that "miniature" look comes from shooting from a far high point


but yes its a Tilt shift lens (or post effect) as the others have said.
