Fake minitures.....

Was talking to someone a few days ago about the fake minitures pictures that you can create using photoshop and so had an evening of creating "miniture" photos and here are some of the results.....

The second and third pictures came out quite well.

Is it just adding blur to non-key areas to replicate a telescopic view on a smaller object?

tahts wicked. i didnt read the top of the post properly and if i ahdnt read ti anagin i wouldve thought most of them were actualy mniatures!

For some reason the VRS engine bay does look completely model like, byut maybe thats because everything in theres plastic.... lol

Really kool effect dude im coining this one for future photoshop projects.

First time i've seen this technique - really works well with buildings and landscapes.

looks quite realistic on some of photos

It's a case of applying a graduated filter over the picture..... The filter graduating to nothing across the section of picture you want in focus. You then make the filter use lens blur..... Which then makes the image look like it's a close up of a miniture and the camera can only focus on a small section of it.

Here's a link to a tutorial.... It's not the one i used but it gives the same info.......

My personal favourites are the ice hockey, Ladybower dam outlet & Waverley station..... Although i do like the CTR interior.... It could just be a 1:18 model!!!!!
