wow this is awesome

 

I may be in the minority, but I keep noticing that most of these are very clearly photoshopped. This concept will use depth to change focus, while most of these distort only by position on the vertical axis of the photo--they just blur the top and bottom progressively and leave the middle alone. The problem is when things that are close or far away are adjacent to the car being focused on. They should also blur.

But they do look miniature, which really seems to be the point of the thread anyways.

 

so far, they are all photoshopped....my first post was trying to give a brief explaination the concept and illustrating how/why the technique is done with cameras.

 

I am going to go find some better pics. these are coming out wacky:

 

^ That one's pretty good.

I think if you're messing around with it in photoshop, it's tough to appreciate the "miniature effect" since you've seen the photo when it was accurate.

To someone who has never seen the original photo, it's more impressive.

 

RoB, YOU gotta do some of this at the Grand Prix. If I can drive the S down I will pesonally detail the out of it. This is awesome!!!!

Shay I need it to be a high perspective shot or some with more depth of field.

the effect works on just sbout anything but the your image needs more reference points away from the focal point to "sell" the illusion

 

from that site:


this one is the best yet since the "set" and tracks are built to look fantasy to begin with (its big thunder mountain @ disney)

 

Here is my attempt. Not my car, it's a friends.
