I love [tilt-shift photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grainify), but I'd never actually get around to buying a nice camera and tilt-shift lens to create it myself; TiltShiftMaker is a fantastic online site that does all the dirty work for you.

TiltShiftMaker takes your standard [photos and converts them](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-to-pixel-art) into their tilt-shift equivalents. All of the photos in the gallery above, for example, were once regular photos that have been made tilt-shiftastic using TiltShiftMaker.

Dying to create your own tilt-shift masterpieces now that you can do so online? Check out TiltShiftMaker below, and be sure to post your creation to the [TiltShiftMaker Flickr pool](http://flickr.com/groups/tiltshiftmaker/).
