Tilt shift refers to the practice in photography of moving the camera’s lens to direct a viewer’s gaze from a part of the image the photographer wishes to de-emphasize. This can be applied to provide a diorama, or miniature, view of a real life scene. It is especially effective when done from a high angle, looking down on a subject such as you would a model set.

From Photoshop Tutorials & Resources. This link will take you to a collection of breathtaking High Dynamic Range photos that really reflect the awesome imagery that can be created using this process.
From Digital Photography School. This collection impresses and attracts my attention because anyone with a DSLR, and most point and shoot cameras, can accomplish these types of shots. HDR is cool but requires special software to create. Just up your shutter speed for the types of photos you see at this page. Ok, its a little more than that but you get a bonus from DPS. Most of these shots are on Flickr and the EXIF data is readily available for us to learn from.
I found these links in my RSS reader and highly encourage anyone that nots using RSS subscriptions to look into it. Some people have proposed the use of Twitter in place of RSS readers. Twitter is a great tool but I’m still a bigger fan of RSS. Use Twitter to get the random links and stories that people are talking about at the moment but set up your subscriptions to your favorite sites to make sure you never miss an interesting article. I’ll be posting my favorite subscriptions soon.
Stay wide and be prepared to zoom!
