Bathtub IV is part of a year-long project by Keith Loutit. Each short film is made in ordinary places, using tilt-shift and time-lapse photograph. The resulting images make Sydney's places look like toys.Keith Loutit.com: Photoblog

Tilt-shift photography manipulates a photograph of a life size object to make an optical illusion of a miniature scale model. The effect is gathered by using color saturation and contrast, changing the focus to simulate shallow depth of field, and showing from a high angle.Tilt-Shift Photography: Tilt-Shift Photography (Miniature Faking) Definition
