Tilt-shift miniature faking is a post-processing technique, which involves selectively blurring a photo to simulate the narrow depth of field found in macro photography and some tilt-shift photography, making the image appear to be of a miniature model.
Here’s something funny to do when you’re bored.
1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random.
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3.
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. If you want to do this again, hit refresh to generate new quotes, because clicking the quotes link again will just give you the same quotes over and over again.
3 - Go to Flickr’s ‘explore the last seven days’:

Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. Put it all together, that’s your debut album.

Alison Jackson has photographed the Queen of England on the toilet, George Bush and Tony Blair chatting in the sauna, Mick Jagger doing gymnastics, and Monica Lewinsky lighting Bill Clinton’s cigar. Or has she? The likenesses are uncanny, but of course, her subjects are look-alikes. Her photos demonstrate that while seeing is believing, the truth is another story entirely. In her work, Jackson says, “Likeness becomes real and fantasy touches on the believable. The viewer is suspended in disbelief.
For this edition, Jackson has been commissioned to shoot a broad selection of new portraits of dead-ringers for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, George Bush, J. Lo, Eminem, Britney Spears, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, and many more. Expect the unexpected!
200 years ago, Napoleon was asked what he thought of China. The French emperor responded: “China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world.”
China’s workforce is estimated at 760 million workers. This country turns out half a million engineers each year, who will work for 10% of what a professional would charge in the United States or Europe.
The intention of this photographic display is to rise “The bamboo curtain” and catch a glimpse of this society - to observe it and think of China as a superpower on the verge of awakening. The inhabitants of the country with the world’s largest population share a collective consciousness of the power of masses, rather than individualistic arrogance and pride. This is why China loves jade, a modest semi-precious stone that does not dazzle and yet possesses immense value. It may be that China has already awakened discretely and we still see her as a sleeping giant.
With a bit of creative editing, you can turn any panoramic image into a photo planet. What does your world look like?
