Toy Cathedral

Well, maybe. This is for the latest technique challenge - miniature effect. It’s not something I’ve tried before because for it to work you need a photo taken from a high vantage point. This certainly qualifies in that regard but I think I needed a bit more foreground for the illusion to work better.

This came out fantastic! It does look like a toy cathedral in a pretty detailed village, really well done

[Terri]

I certainly think this looks like a miniature city. Great job!

Fantastic job! You chose a great vantage point and time of day. I love the lights.
Is that Holy Rosary?

[summerfield]

it certainly works, chris. great tilt shift shot. aces!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Yes, a few roof tops in the foreground would definitely complete the illusion but as is it's still a great shot!

[GaryW]

Nice effect!

[Carole G]

It's a fun technique to try. Did you do it in camera or in processing?

[Chris Cook]

@ljmanning thanks Laura. Yes it is

[Chris Cook]

@yorkshirekiwi My camera doesn’t have that option. I did it in post.

Lovely light and awesome photo

Fabulous!

[Shutterbug]

I think that is terrific. I thought it was a little toy town. We have a group here that makes little miniature towns that really are miniature not a photographic illusion and that’s what I thought this was. So I think you were quite successful.

[Pam]

Fantastic!

[4rky]

Looks like a very lavish Toytown to me! :)
