How to take tilt shift photograph with nikon d5100?

Please explain in details…

Do you have a tilt shift lens? Then you will need one. And they cost more than the D5100 itself.

You would need a very expensive lens for that. Or you could just do it in photoshop. But i forgot how.

Obviously, you'll need a tilt shift lens. If you don't have the budget for a current Nikon tilt-shift lens, you can adapt a Hasselblad (or other medium format system) lens to your Nikon D5100 with a special tilt-shift adapter. Just google "Hasselblad to Nikon tilt-shift adapter," you'll find something that'll work. Pick up a used Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 T* Planar for Hasselblad used on any popular auction site, KEH.com, or Adorama.com. This is just about the cheapest Hasselblad lens around, but its optical quality is superb. If you need to go wider, you're better off saving up some cash and just buying the Nikon tilt-shift equivalent.

Once your have your lens, just follow the instructions included, depending on the perspective that you want to achieve.

Here is a link to all the PC (perspective control) lenses Nikon makes.

As you can see, the are quite expensive.

There's a program you can buy Topaz Labs that is a plug-in you can add to your existing Photoshop CS5 that will help you approximate a so called "tilt-shift" look you would get using an actual view camera (view cameras have more than just the tilt and shift moves. They also have that are called "swings" and a "rising front"

The specific program is called "Topaz Lens Effects"

Usually you need a Really expensive lens for that but luckily, the Nikon d5100 has a built in titlt shift option. Just move the dial to EFFECTS then the scrolling dial until it says miniature. Then it gives you a tilt shift-like effect.

ACTUALLY you can just go to tiltshiftmaker.com if you're cheap like me. Works great, and I save $1500+ or whatever. See a photo I edited with the site
