Search youtube as well. There are some amazing videos where you'd swear you're looking at stop motion animated toys.

Hmm, tilt-shift photography...cool.

Actually it was my brother-in-law who took that shot and did the effect, so until now I had no idea how he did it either. Will have to give it a try from now on.

Are you saying that your brother-in-law didn't use any special equipment to take the shot? Usually people do it with an expensive tilt shift lense but I've read somewhere that the effect can be duplicated in Photoshop as well. Interesting.

I'll hafta check with him. He took the photo with a nice digital camera, but I don't recall him swapping out lenses or anything. He might've done it in Photoshop like you say.
