Toy Town #1

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 6 May 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

I've been waiting a while too find a shot good enough to try out this photoshop technique, and I got a few when I went to visitr Edinburgh Castle! I think it works really well in fooling the eye into thinking its a minature town!

For those of you that want to try, the tutorial I followed is here, and is really easy to follow!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Fantastic shot, and well executed. We have an ad on tv that uses the same principle, thanks for the link, now I can see how they did it.
