With the surprising lack of Halloween aftermath photos in the DCist pool today, we did a little browsing back through the past week and found this interesting shot by Flickr user chapulin colorado. Using a fake tilt shift, he turned this photo of real life visitors at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History into a diorama you might find in an exhibit of the museum. Tilt-shifting distorts the focus so that viewers believe they're looking at much smaller distances than they really are and requires a fairly expensive tilt-shift lens, but can also be done with the much less expensive lens baby and a little Photoshop magic. The result, we have to admit, is pretty awesome. If you know more about the tilt-shift effect, leave us a comment. EXIF.
