What are tilt-shift photos? Tilt-shift style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like miniature toy-model photographs. My friend Aaron put me onto another cool photo app that does just that.

After testing the TiltShiftMaker photo app with a couple images on my desktop, I couldn't wait to take my camera out and go shoot! Here are a few shots I took during lunch and edited with TiltShift.

Watch for em!
