Technique 124 - Miniature Effect

March 21st, 2022
Thank you to Sue @suez1e for hosting the previous challenge. Thanks to all those who participated and also to everyone who voted for my mysterious selfie.
The theme I choose is miniature effect. So, we are looking for the world to look like a toy world, no matter how you achieve this effect. It can be a result of
- in camera preset (usually in the creative mode) > so I invite you to explore the settings available in your camera, for which you did pay
- post processing, using Photoshop, Snapseed, Affinity > if it is not called the miniature effect, it is probably lens blur or something like that
- using a tilt-shift lens > when did you take that lens out?

Here are some guiding videos:
