Zeitgeist.
noun. The defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.

Freelensing →
Freelensing is in a way tilt-shift photography, but instead of having an expensive lens you simply detach the lens from the camera body and angle it manually.
