is there an opposite effect to a tilt-shift?
so you can make small things look huge?

Yes.
Multi-focus cameras can focus on different
ranges at the same time removing the close up
focus issues and making things look big.

Yep, there is something called a "Vole Shores" lens which shifts focus on small objects...
..and simulates a deep field view.

The effect is pretty astounding. Info here:

magic
well these things don't look small anyway..... the opposite is to have everything in focus and not narrow the focus like this. all you do is tilt the lens the other way and it's all in focus once again. the magic of photoboxes.
this same 'trick' makes this photo possible. having both the girl in front in focus as well as the girl waaaaay in the background in the water

you see the black vignettes because the lens is tilted a bit further than it should go. it doesnt have the range for this.

and yes, i am ruining all fun.
