I see some blurring, probably deliberate, on the left edge of the image. I don’t think this is “tilt shifted” and I don’t think the effect you’re describing would make the one truck seem larger than the other.
I don’t disagree with your point that the image is chosen specifically because it excessively highlights the difference in size… but I’d say it has more to do with the angle and the order of the trucks than any post fx.
Also, srsly: no tilt shift.
That's cool, I'm no photographer but there's something at play here skewing the perspective. Def not gonna argue if it is or isn't tilt shift, I don't fuckin know
Yeah, depth of field is all over the map. It doesn't make sense. Text in focus behind the truck, but not the SUV, even though it's further away.
My vote is a composite. Several images merged together.
EDIT: oh yeah. Tree is a seam. Bush behind the truck bed is 2 colors and focuses. And the trucks back bumper... bad masking.
Tilt shift generally makes things look miniature like a model.
Are we sure it isn't just the automatic filters that get applied when you snap a photo on a modern smartphone? Like where it tries to pick out the subject and blur the background?
Remember that photo of the Bidens with the Carters where the Bidens looked like giants compared to the Carters? It was an illusion caused by the use of a wide angle lense. Makes things around the edge look bigger.
This photo looks like it was taken with a wide angle lens and then the left side was cropped off. Look at the difference in size between the wheels on the truck.
These pickup trucks are still stupid though.
I dont know much about much or anything either but I thought tilt shift made things look smaller but idk you know
No I know you know but I don't know you know.
It makes pictures of normal things from far away look like photographs of toys
