Who knew you could do this? Well, apparently Scott did!
I was recently in the CanWest Global boardroom for some meetings on the 33rd floor. The building is located right at the corner of Portage & Main, the heart of downtown Winnipeg. So, on one of the breaks, I took a few photos.
Well, last night one of them became a Photoshop project for Scott. Quite an interesting effect. The original photo can be seen here and some more examples can be seen on the flickr tilt-shift miniature fakes group.

This is totally awesome! I was looking at the two pictures to try to see exactly what it was that makes one look like a miniature. I totally need to play with photoshop more.

For how to do it, Scott used this http://www.boingboing.net/2006/02/27/fake_tilt_shift_phot.html and this http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/
