The scope of all that exists beyond our own planet is so large, it’s mind-boggling to contemplate. Yet a simple Photoshop trick can seemingly reduce shots of outer space, including those taken by powerful Hubble telescopes, to miniature scenes.
Reddit user TheScienceLlama took a bunch of space imagery from NASA and ESA and transformed it with the Tilt-Shift filter in Photoshop, including the Horsehead Nebula, Crab Nebula, Meathook Galaxy, Thor’s Helmet Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy.
The tilt-shift effect blurs the top and bottom of an image to mimic a shallow depth of field, making it seem as if life-sized scenes are actually miniatures.
The effect is especially effective on urban scenes, making planes, city buses, cruise ships and people look like toys.
Tilt-shift photography techniques are often used to give a unique look to landscape photos, but these altered images started out with Van Gogh paintings.

We often get asked what a tilt-shift lens is, and we thought the best way to answer all these questions in one swift go is to get Kai to make a video about the benefits of a tilt-shift lens are. We go out with a Canon 5D Mark II and a TSE 17mm f/4 lens to show you what it can do. Pricing Reference: www.digitalrev.com

Direct link to HD version; www.youtube.com Phantogram version of 3D Miniature City Kobe entry of yesterday; www.youtube.com I had a chance to shoot Tilt-Shift, Timelapse and Hyper-Stereoscopic video to fake miniaturization of Kobe City. Twin GH1 separated about 3 m was used to shoot from 24th floor of City Hall of Kobe. I recognized that 3D effect might be effective to enhance more realistic miniaturization by Tilt-Shift and Timelapse techniques. Phantogram version is expected to be viewed by looking down 45 degree at the display set horizontally to see the 3D objects properly pop-up from the ground level located at display surface. Phantogram version is postprocessed by applying vertical perspective correction and disparity control so as to keep the disparity of all objects positive and the ground level to be set zero. This is not a perfect Phantogram as horizontal perspective correction is not applied in this case.
