How to fake tilt-shift in Photoshop Tutorial
What Is Tilt-Shift Photography?
Wikipedia “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 postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.
Open-source camera could revolutionize digital photography
Stanford scientists have created an open-source camera that could revolutionize digital photography by giving programmers that chance to design software to teach the device new tricks.

Tilt shift photography
What is Tilt shift photography
Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras; it usually requires the use of special lenses.
"Tilt-shift" actually encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to change the line of sight while avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings.
In many cases, "tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of tilt and a large aperture to achieve a very shallow depth of field. Know More

Here's a short guide to shooting several photographs to make an ultra sharp close focus shot. Peter Bargh explains how to shoot, and then what software will combine the shots to give you ultra sharp results.
Nikon Autofocus Tutorial
This video explains into depth about Nikon's autofocusing system in Nikon's lenses and camera bodies - showing into depth about the settings to get your image crystal clear in focus. Enjoy.
On the second hand, sorry, we forgot there is a slight difference in the focus indicator (aka "electric rangefinder") on the lower end DSLR's. Okay, on the lower end DSLR's, there won't be any triangles at all - there is only green dot that alerts the user the subject in focus. Continue focusing manually by estimate until the green dot lights up continuously in the viewfinder. These models don't have both triangles happen to be: D40, D40X, D50, D60, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D100, D200, and D300.

Droste Effect in Photographs
The "Droste effect" derives from a Dutch chocolate maker that used an image of its box on the box recursively at smaller and smaller scales.
This video starts with a conformal homotopy between the identity map and the logarithm. Then follows with a rotation and scaling then a conformal homotopy of the exponential map.
I'm the guy in the picture and the building is the math and computer sciences building at the university of Montreal. I made this under the supervision of Christiane Rousseau, professor of mathematics at the university of Montreal.
Thanks to Josh Sommers. Though I did not use his code, I could not have written mine without his. It helped me understand MATHMAP better than any tutorial out there. Christiane Rousseau came up with the math behind the deformation.
