With that same concept one million pixels is the equivalent to [...]

From that they abbreviated taking the first few letters from “picture element” and it slowly became pixel. Now instead of anyone thinking of a pixel as an abbreviation they think of it as a square dot. These tiny little dots are what line up [...]

Tilt-shift: not the spazzy-legged move we bust on the dance floor.
AUG 10, 2010 01:00A.M. Selective focus: not the clever strategy used against parents. Maybe we’re better off referencing our pal Bhautik’s incredible guide to tilt-shift and DIY lenses! It’ll teach you all sorts about tilt-shift, like What the heck is a tilt-shift lens anyway? (A lens that can tilt and shift its planes to focus selectively and make the subjects in your photos look miniature, too!) Isn’t tilt-shift only for 19th Century men with pointy mustaches, cloaks, and large, fancy cameras? (No! Anyone with an SLR can do it!) Can’t I just fuzzy out parts of my photos using Photoshop? (Yes, but the real thing is so much more fun. PLUS, you can make videos, like this miniaturized San Francisco vid!)
