Was the first mowing with my 1st petrol lawnmower. Owning my 1st petrol-powered tool (other than a car) made me feel all grown up.

I see how the image is blurred to simulate limited depth of field - but the result does look uncommonly like a real miniature. Is there more to it? And why 'tilt-shift'? I must learn this hidden knowledge!

of tricking the eye (The blurring distorts you're mind's perception of depth/distance/size) and altering the colours to more accurately represent those commonly found in model paints.
The name comes from the orignal (manual) method using a camera lens that tilts and shifts, giving a very similar effect to that above. It's only fairly recently become common to replicate this using Photoshop etc.
