If anyone wants a photo "miniaturized" let me know - I'm practising my Tilt Shift photoshop techique. I haven't gotten it down pat yet, but I think it's getting there. The best photos are ones taken from above looking down with cars that are medium to small in the photo.
Those are cool! but I don't quite get it...what is this tilt shift technique? can you explain what you have done in those pictures? Did you take pictures of actual model landscapes and paste the cars/boats in to them?

You can take a photo, add some gradient lens blur effects, adjust the curves or saturation, and end up with a neat photo that looks like a miniature. Some photos work better than others... especially buildings and medium to long range photos. It's a bit of a trick to get the look right. I'm still trying to perfect it, but it's fun to see some of the results.
The car examples I posted were photos I took from the Gallery and edited. Here's a photo I took from a cruise and tilt shifted:
