Sometimes I don’t bother to get my real camera out of the bag. In those cases I use my point & shoot Canon Ixus 130, which is basically a mobile phone camera disguised as a camera. If I had the money for it, I would have upgraded my Canon Ixus to one of those new Canon pocket size cameras where you can change the lens and shoot in RAW, but that’s propbably not going to happen (diapers, food, mortgage, electricity, etc, etc.).
Anyway, the last week I’ve been shooting photos using the miniture settings on the camera. In this gallery most of the photos have the fake miniature effect.

Nice! I’ve been “toying” with this myself lately. 😀
Thanks Laura. It’s definitely cheaper to do it this way than to invest in a tilt-shift lense. Alternatively one can use Photoshop to get the wanted result.
You’re welcome 🙂
The real cameras are your eyes! 🙂 You take good photos irrespective of the gear you use!
Thanks Sayantan. The problem with poor equipment is that the result often doesn’t live up to my standards.
these are great CG…I never knew some cameras had this…will have to check out mine. I would love to try this.
Check it out. It’s very convenient when it’s in the point & shoot camera already: that way you don’t have to go through Photoshop or any other software to achieve the effect.
Great shots Cardinal, makes me want to go and play!
It’s always fun to play 😀
Thank you for sharing your expertise, CG! Great week!
Thanks. I didn’t share much expertise in here though, just a few snap shots. I wish you a great week too. I’ve had the most insane day with flights and no sleep, so I’m all blurry now 🙂
Well, a photographer of your caliber does not need the newest Canon gadgets to take terrific shots 🙂
No, but it would have been a lot of fun 😀
Hey, I just looked up the Ixus 130. That miniaturization feature is pretty impressive. It converts extremely efficiently and convincingly in most shots it’s applied to.
Clearly the aerial shots have the greatest results.
Yes, there’s no doubt about it. The effect doesn’t really do its work when you’re on street level.
super cool 🙂
Dhanyavad Joshi!
I dropped by for the second look and to leave a star 😀
Thanks again Paula! I’m reaching for the stars! 😀
