Music is my life, photography is my hobby. Here's some shots I have taken over the years.

Which one? The red one is Okanagan Lake, the 'house' is on Gardom Lake, both are in British Columbia (Canada).

you have a tilt shift lens? im jelly

An 80mm f/2.8 tilt shift lens, its the cheapest one I could find ($400 Canadian for a no name lens vs $2000 nikon official lens). Its easily my favorite lens ever, I want to get another one with a wider lens (a 28 would do but I would like something even wider).

Wow,genuinely curious if this is a real scene or if they are like toyhouses. It really looks like toy houses!

It is real life, not a model. I used whats called a 'tilt shift' lens for that photo (and the one of the car), all it does is makes an abnormally small depth of field (the range of distance that appears 'sharp' or in focus) at long distances.

Macro photography, or close up photography, has small depths of field because the subject is small and the camera could be less than a foot away. Tilt Shift lens simulate that distance/focus ratio at a large/real life scale.

This is a great example of tilt shift photography.
