Trick Photography

[Rafa Esteve]

After doing this one:



I've started to think...which other examples of "trick photography" have you done? I'm not talking about things like double exposure or (obviously) Photoshop, but shots you can do in "one take". I'm thinking more about things in the vein of light painting and forced perspective...

Anyway, come on: post your pictures and your tricks and tips. Thanks.

I've only tried some accidental "light painting" while going down the road in the car:

I enjoy playing around with forced perspective.

Not sure if you would consider this a trick, but it's just refraction at work. :)

A couple of recent ones

I had a string attached to Smiley Cup and had it tied to something above; then cloned it out of the picture.

@houser934 Cool ones: I really like the first one

@onie_m Yeah, nice forced perspective ideas, specially the second one.

@taleweaver That's certainly a good use of the laws of optics ;)

@sianipops The cards one is great

@mittens Sorry, no cloning allowed :p. Just kidding, it's a fun picture and a fun idea, nonetheless

@hippiechick13 Cool paintings

@cameraholic Great: no idea how you achieved it...

@steampowered I like the b&w here: it goes well with the subject and the sparkle-painting

@aprilmilani I suspect there's some 'shopping here :p... but a great concept and I simply love your processing and your style

@japers45 Cool, disturbing but cool

@steampowered Gah, I still love your Sisters of Mercy. And now I get to re-fav them!

Here's a trick, with no photoshopping.

I don't like it as much as my first try, but I did another "magic" picture:

[David Tigani]

After many attempts I finally pulled off a forced perspective shot.
