On the right real car, but on the left radiocar (may be it can move under hereby). I had only one attempt, because model was very moody. Beside us much warmy. This possible see on mirages from fingers of legs models.

Great shot, maybe a little moving around of the cars so that the girls hand looked as if it was on top of the white car would have worked even better. A deeper DOF would have given you both cars in focus too. 8

I dig the forced perspective and understand why the truck is blurry, but it sort of breaks the illusion. I guess you'd have to use a really high fstop to get both in focus.

too bad the green vehicle is blurry and she has a building coming out of her head

Sadly, great DOF is essential in a photo like this.... The forced perspective between the girl and the real life car are great though.

Interesting idea 7

Too bad the truck is out of focus...

Title doesnt make sense...

Good experiment and cool setup. But it fails because how out of focus the minature is. Not sure how you could have performed this better, maybe get yourself further away from the subject or use less zoom. I asume you are using smallest avalible aperture.

Needs depth-of-field
08/05/2004 08:57:30 PM
clever shot. just work on the dof.
08/05/2004 11:56:21 AM
Didn't like this photo because of the blurred miniature.

Not sure what a mustang is where you are, but here neither of those are mustangs. If you want to do this shot right you need to play with aperture and focus to get everything in focus.

Depth of field needs some work, try taking this shot from farther back and cropping in.

Good idea, but not quite enough depth of field to make it work.
08/04/2004 05:53:43 PM
I like the idea, but the focus of this challenge should be the miniature not the life sized car.

creativey try., but I guess you should have kep the 'miniature' in focus and not the big car. Again, you have tried to equate the sizes of the miniature and and actual in this figure which I like.
08/04/2004 04:08:40 PM
nice use of perspective and good idea... but the technical (colors, contrasts, lighting, shadows) aspects of the photo arent too strong
08/04/2004 12:39:56 PM
this works well but you need to control the field of depht... unless you want te blur effect on one of the objects (oof)
08/04/2004 10:34:47 AM
Good idea, but forthe picture to bec cobnvincing the miniature car must be in focus.
08/04/2004 10:28:01 AM
little chappie at the front is too out of focus, but not sure how you'd get round that...
08/04/2004 06:12:16 AM
Good idea but you need to stop the lens down to get more definition in the toy truck on the left of the frame and your background is already clearly in focus. I'd suggest a different location so that the backdrop of trees, wires and buildings doesn't detract from the optical illusion you're crafting. In any photo you also might want to watch to be sure you don't have any well delineated objects appearing to come out of a person's head. The white edge of the building in the background bisects the human subject's head and while you might want to set apart two hemispheres to enhance the differences or the symmetry or some other facet of your composition, in this instance you lose that impact because both the tree limbs and the power/phone lines cross that imaginary boundary and dilute the separating power of the dividing line.

More DOF!
08/04/2004 02:41:05 AM
Good shot, it could have been better if the focus is on the toy truck.
08/04/2004 02:26:13 AM
Very creative, but the miniature sould be more in focus in my opinion
08/04/2004 01:35:33 AM
Deeper DOF is needed to make this image work. Also lower your hand on the left (right side of the picture) so the hands are at the same distance visually from each car.
