Behind the still:

In this assignment, students learned how to use Photoshop techniques to create the effect of a miniature photo, according to UMHS Digital Photography instructor Alex Pinguli.

To incorporate this effect, called "Tilt-Shift Photography," students began with one of their own images taken outside. They photographed Upper Moreland High School and its parking lot from an elevated point of view. Next, they used selective blur to capture the narrow depth of field that is common in macro photography. Finally, the colors were enhanced to reinforce the idea of a miniature landscape.
