I first came across the tilt-shift technique in a post on bOING bOING, the culture/technology blog. It was about Olivo Barbieri's waterfall series, an image from that is below. Then I found a tutorial on using photoshop to simulate the effect of tilting the focal plane and I was off in a new creative hobby! I loved the 'Oh no! your messing with my brain!' comments I got from friends. Transforming familiar scenes with a false sense of scale was very interesting and lots of fun.
The images below are from early users of the technique and date from the mid 90's. I'm not sure which are digital blurs and which are optical but I am impressed with the artistry and how my brain gets messed with.
