Taken by a Canon pro using a tilt-shift lens TS-E 45mm/2.8. Note how the tilting action of the specialized lens allows the plane of focus to be at an angle, causing the interesting effect of blur in front of and behind the image in focus. This creates the effect of miniaturization.

Special appreciation to Mr. Wei Liou, an immensely talented photographer who was kind enough to take these two photos of me on class assignment using this special lens, which he has complete mastery of. Please check out his website, I assure you that you will be awestruck as I when you view his moving and inspirational views of the city. I will endeavor my utmost to follow his example of sharing and generosity. A truly special individual... Thank you Wei!
