Tilt-Shift Photography

“Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital post processing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.

kayleeolson:

There used to be a wooden maze playground like this in Falmouth, Maine.

It was called the Maze Craze. I used to get so excited when I found out I was going there for a rec. camp field trip or when my parents were taking me.

When I was older, my parents took my brother, and our best friends (who were siblings), and me to the Maze Craze just for kicks because we had loved it so much when we were younger.

Much to my dismay, it had been taken down. Too many children were getting giant splinters of doom, apparently.

I had so many memories there. It was wonderful.
