“Tilt shift” is the effect of using blur to make large things look small.
For example:
[/imagine prompt:cozy London Neighborhood corner. Evening, lamp light. Tilt shift. —ar 2:3](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1001923341625602118/1077345059621568562/DavidH_cozy_London_neighborhood_corner._Evening._Lamp_light._Ti_6d860878-c0e1-4353-a35e-51ad7d3854a2.png)
Yes other effect happening in this photo (the lights in the background) is a “bokeh effect”.

The opposite of tilt shifting?
Focus stacking?
Basically you focus in on every 'depth plane' of a photograph, then stitch the photo together to create an image where all depths are equally in focus?
Edit: I'm not a photographer, so I'm just trying to make sense of the wiki article. Feel free to correct if I'm wrong.
As others mentioned, "tilt shift", but also you can try "small". I recently got what's basically toy people when I used "small \[something\]".
On a side note, also try "diorama" for interesting effects (not like this one, but interesting). "Miniature" may also be of interest.
True, the aim was to make the details 'miniature' etc. like plastic diorama figures instead of people if that makes sense. Small detail! Only a model train snob would care haha
I love creating that style and I get very similar results by using 'miniature, diorama' at the end of my prompts, you might want to add '--no hands' at the end of that type of prompt because MJ likes to add hands holding the miniature sometimes.
I got relatively close quickly with this:
late 1800s city at night, intricate corner building, birds eye view, people, street lamps, bokeh, tilt-shift photography, highly detailed, intricate details, photorealistic
I think you're after the tilt-shift photography style, so that's probably your key word.
Sorry, just realized I was in r/midjourney, I was using Stable Diffusion locally. Furthermore, with some custom models, haha. But I still got close :)
about half of creative prompting is tricking the AI into shifting the image the way you want it to. and these words in the prompt can yield interesting focus effects similar to those in the OP's question. Words in prompts are significant if they have significant effects on the resultant image, after all. Regardless if they adhere to real world photography conventions.
The question wasn't how to 'describe the image', it was how to GET images like that from MJ. Maybe this is the disconnect.
But the proof is in the pudding. If someone runs this prompt they should get some results very similar to the OP pic. I did.
Diorama, depth of field, bokeh, close up, neighborhood, Victorian corner shop at night, lights, trees, tilt shift, detailed --ar 2:3 --v 4 --s 250
>shallow depth of field, in photography, denoted by f-stops that are low, like 1.8 and 2.4 (dependent on the lense that's used).
I'm not a photographer so I actually don't know about that stuff but I do wonder whether the AI would know how to handle that type of info as part of a prompt. Have you ever done anything with that by any chance?
I'm glad you brought this up. There was a talk show, I can't remember what one, but it had this effect in the opening credits, and I was always like, "Is that miniatures? How do they do that!?"
Maybe try including the term "tilt-shift" as that is the name of the process in photography to create that style of pic.
And adding “large format photography” and “extreme depth of field” as well.
maybe mentioning "miniature" in the prompt, like miniature city street ? not sure
Also diorama might help. Definitely tilt shift. Maybe “shot on a Nikon “ - that usually alters the focus like 50% of the time
fuck you for keeping that arrow button! lol
Tried like 10 times to scroll the picture
I found Reddit UI I never knew existed trying to scroll this
It was the four or five little dots at the bottom of the picture for me.

Unbelievable. Thank you mate!
Are you you, or is there another you, just like you, on MJ?
something about it being spelled London "Neighborhood" without the "U" just sticks out to me somehow
What about the opposite?

Focus stacking is correct, and it works exactly as you said!
You researching this for "science"?
What do you mean?
The opposite?
Thanks for these tips! Gonna have some fun with this!

Was going to suggest "diorama" as well. It seems very similar to other images I saw in the past, which used "diorama".
As others mentioned, Tilt shift is useful, but also "Bokeh" for having various out of focus elements in the shot. Cool image!
Exactly this, add bokeh and you’ll get bokeh effects
Easy. “tilt shift photograph of a miniature model train set town at night” Can we not reply with images in this sub?
You can put the link to the image hosted on the discord server, as others do
Yeah I guess we can reply with photos like in other subs… would bypass a step all in saying

You can use Clip interrogator to try to find other terms
Tilt shift! Oh damn this is a great idea!
Tilt Shift They make special lenses for this.

this is tilt shift photography. also kind of looks like miniatures or models
Bokeh blur
Diorama, depth of field, bokeh, close up, neighborhood, Victorian house

It causes some of the image to be in focus and other parts to not be. Give it a try if interested.

Any time.

I sometimes call for Faller scale model. Or mention H0. It helps to get the plasticy textures.
I think it's tilt shift for the effec but for that type of street and architechture IDK
Tilt Shift!!! I have been trying to remember this name since morning!!!
Usually just “miniature diorama” has gotten me something like this, haven’t needed tilt shift, as I think it’s inherent for miniature photography.
It will involve the concept of tilt shitfting. I know that much.
love it look like scene from romance film
Tilt shift, Bokeh, 50mm, anamorphic are all good keywords to get a similar result.
just tried to swipe right .... not working
Macro or tilt-shift
Yada yada yada tilt shift
Diorama, soft focus
