Niall, Maggie, and Jason shooting in Lantau...dunno about you, but that doesn't look like a real cable car to me...

Tilt-shifting is a vey cool photographic technique that changes the perspective of images to make them look like miniature models, rather than real-world images.  It does this by using either special lenses that tilt the lens relative to the image plane of the camera, or shift the lens relative to the image plane so that the area in focus is restricted.  (Geek-check... the geometric formulae that explain this are part of the Scheimpflug principle.)

Whatever... the effect is cool.  And now it can be done digitally, and online, too, with any image you like.

Mac World is in progress and little geeky trinkets are beginning to trickle out. The keynote isn't until tomorrow but here's one of the most talked about so far:

 It's an online photo management tool. It stores and organizes pictures mostly (but can work with videos as well)

There's also some basic picture editing and captioning tools. In particular you can lay out and decorate your collections (called albums) and it integrates with the rest of your Gmail suite. It has easy and controlled sharing tools built in.

Could be good for delivering and/or collaborating on storyboards.

It's been available for PCs for a while but you can now get the Mac version here.

Very cool set of photos taken by an American couple who recently relocated from New York to New Delhi.
