How to shoot the effect of "miniature model"?

Although it is a distant view, because the focusing part is only concentrated on one point (one side), it looks like a miniature, which has an incredible feeling. The tilt function of the shift lens is used to tilt the focal plane for shooting. The point of this photo is to use the illusion of the human eye.

Shooting data

Camera: EOS 5D Mark II//Lens: TS-E 45mm f/f 2.8/ Aperture Priority Auto Exposure (F2.8,11600 seconds) //ISO 100// White Balance: Auto/Exposure Compensation: +2/3EV.

Shoot with ordinary lens under the same conditions.

If a general lens is used to shoot the scene in the illustration, even if the maximum aperture is used, if the shooting distance is far away, the whole picture will basically be within the focus range, resulting in a similar pan-focus effect. The illustration was taken on the 35th floor of the building. Comparing the photos taken by shifting lens, we can see obvious differences.

Shooting data

Camera: EOS 5D Mark II//Lens: EF 24-70mm f/f 2.8 USM/ Aperture Priority Auto Exposure (F2.8,1/2000s)//ISO100//White Balance: Auto/Exposure Compensation:+1/3000s.

Shooting essentials

Essentials 1: It shows a strong sense of model fuzziness.

Point 2: The key is to shoot with the maximum aperture.

1. Mount the camera on a tripod.

In order to effectively control the focus position, the camera must be firmly fixed on the tripod. Composition is also an important factor, so it is best to use a three-dimensional pan-tilt that can easily adjust the camera angle.

2. Start real-time display shooting.

Because of the need for precise focusing, the real-time display shooting function is used here to prepare for shooting. Compared with the optical viewfinder, real-time display shooting is convenient for observing the details of the picture, and it is very effective to use this function when moving the axis.

3. Use the tilt function to tilt the focal plane.

Using the tilt function of the axis-shifting lens, the lens is tilted to the sky greatly, and only a small part of the picture is in focus. Because the tilt angle is opposite to the main body, this technique is called "anti-axis displacement"

4. Display the focus with 10x magnification, and then release the shutter.

In order to focus more accurately, enlarge the picture by 10 times. Let the focus position be in the most prominent part of the whole picture visually. If it is aimed at people, cars, etc. It is easy to reflect the atmosphere similar to a miniature model, and release the shutter after determining the focus position.
