A photographer named Nalden has been producing tilt-shift time lapse videos using a digital SLR. He recently shot this clip of Amsterdam for Nike Sportswear. The tilt shift technique, in the most simple terms, involves the use of a large aperture (to create a short depth of field) and a rotation of the lens (to bring all objects into sharp focus).

Whether or not you care how it works, the end result is stunning. Below is Nalden's Nike Sportswear clip.
