Tell me when you want to go and get your own.
I'm looking for an excuse and a mate to go and get some more. Oh yeah, rain.  Need some more of that to make the waterfalls, fall.

Can somebody explain in simple terms for a complete idiot non-photographer what tilt shifting is, but more importantly, why it makes everything look like a model layout? |
Tilt shift in these cases makes for photos that look like models. You can buy Tilt-shift lenses for SLR's. They allow you to get images like this, the one on the right is all in focus. It allows the focus to be moved from being parrallel to the image plane to being, er... not parrallel.
Wiki has some info on this as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography.
Here is a image of a lens. Cheaper to get a hacked copy of Photoshop CS.

Maybe a better way of explaining it it "selective focus lenses".
Cheap way of getting one is a Lensbaby. Around $500 in Sydney for the best one, the 3G.

There was a somewhat salient Smeh article yesterday (click while the clickin's good - dunno how long it will be up for).
| Quote: |
Tilt shifting, which is also known in the industry as miniature faking, is gaining popularity as a means of using digital technology to imbue a toy-like quality to subject matter.
Mr Loutit believes he is the first to apply the technique to time-lapse photography - an immensely demanding endeavour that involves up to 20 hours of filming per clip.
Even before filming can take place, Mr Loutit painstakingly plans around external elements such as light, weather conditions and the anticipated actions of subjects such as boats, tides and people.
The thousands of still digital photographs that are taken from a single vantage point can be particularly wearing on equipment, said Mr Loutit, who confesses he has "broken a lot of cameras". |
There are links to some cool tilt shifting videos within the link.

Petey,
I'm very impressed with the Pt. Waratah pic, had it not been for the QR train on 10 road it would have been a good publicity shot for Northern Coal.

Now that I have my copy of CS4, I've had a go at this. Don't think that this is too bad for a first attempt

Not to bad? Are you kidding? That's fucking awesome my friend! 
The perfect scene for this type of effect methinks. Where is it out of interest?

Thanks for the compliments Biqua. After seeing your Cooks River shot, as well as a few of the others on here, it's a technique that I really wanted to try.
As for the train, it's the Manildra trip train leaving Harden.
