I read that as "This is great! My ass is on fire!"
Not the first time I've heard those words.

I believe it is called tilt shift because...
the used to adjust the angle of the lens as the sutter was in motion...
this would blur certain areas of the shot making the remaining element look like a close up shot.
You can easily do this in photoplop now tho...
loads of tutorials online...tis easy

Oooh
I'll have to borrow a DSLR camera and give it a whirl, no potatochopping though. Gotta research how much to tweak the angle of the lens by though

tired trick
tilt the lens and the focus shifts. it's not born out of damn digital crap. it's based of the good ole fashioned view cameras which do it so well. and have done it so well since the 1800's

It works because the human eye, and camera lenses
has a very narrow range of focus when looking at small things close up.
By narrowing the depth of field (the distance from the subject where things are in focus) using selective blurring on an image, you trick the eye into thinking it is doing the same thing.

is there an opposite effect to a tilt-shift?
so you can make small things look huge?

Yes.
Multi-focus cameras can focus on different
ranges at the same time removing the close up
focus issues and making things look big.

Yep, there is something called a "Vole Shores" lens which shifts focus on small objects...
..and simulates a deep field view.
The effect is pretty astounding. Info here:

magic
well these things don't look small anyway..... the opposite is to have everything in focus and not narrow the focus like this. all you do is tilt the lens the other way and it's all in focus once again. the magic of photoboxes.
this same 'trick' makes this photo possible. having both the girl in front in focus as well as the girl waaaaay in the background in the water

you see the black vignettes because the lens is tilted a bit further than it should go. it doesnt have the range for this.
and yes, i am ruining all fun.
