found this article, <50 Beautiful Examples Of Tilt-Shift Photography & How To Make Fake Miniature Tilt-Shift Photos?>.

is this another purpose for TS lens? me thought is mainly for architectural shoots.

The selective focusing of the tilt and its placement reproduces such a mininaturisation effect, or it can give u the great depth of field without excessive stopping down compared to an untilted lens.

Of course the shift is very is useful for architectural shots especially in film days, as well as making seamless panoramas.

There is no end to creativity, why just restrict it to architecture

No necessary.... Tilt-shift lenses can be used to produce very creative images; sort of like using a LensBaby.

In fact, the concept behind the LensBaby is based in such lenses.

vincent laforet used such a lens during the beijing olympics too. click here. you got to go through the images to find examples.

Does that mean that if I have a tilt-shift lens, I reproduce those miniature effect? If that is the case, is it any tilt shift lens regardless of angle of view can do that?

I suppose tilt-shift is perspective control(PC)?

May I know can a lens baby produce the miniature effect?

Any T/S lens can achieve the miniature effect.

As the name suggests, T/S lenses has 2 functions. Tilt as you see here, gives you the miniature effect or so called altering the depth of field. Shift is used for correct perspectives.

PC is in a way a misnomer for the newer Nikon lenses. The original Nikon PC lenses were shift lenses that only does shift functions. ( But even then it is in no way a perspective control if you think about it - but thats another arguement for another time )

The newer PC lenses have a tilt function as well. Starting from the 85mm PC, to the current 3 PC-E offerings. Canon label their series as the T/S lenses.

Theoretically can since the concept is similar. Never used one before but i suspect it is really not as easily done as a T/S lens even at their widest aperture. ( Might be because of the uncorrected lens abberations in a lensbaby compared to a T/S lens )

nv try a TS or PC lens before ma(specialty lens). would prefer the poor man approach by using photoshop for the miniturization effect...

Just as giantcanopy wrote, it can theoretically.

A Lensbaby, however, add other visual distortions to your final image, so I am not sure if that is the result you want.

In practical usage, the LBs cannot replicate the overall results of a TS lense because of it's largely uncorrected optical design.

Believe me, I was SOOOO hoping it could!
