Neat Pic

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=33682

An art director here at work climbed up on the roof and shot this pic of me next to my truck.
He did something with photoshop that I can't figure out.

Me and the truck look like we're H/O scale toys I think

Wow
You're right, it looks like you are part of a model train layout

Very cool

What's even more interesting is it looks alot like the model photos we looked at a couple months ago - the ones that looked real!

Funny you say that..the art director here just showed me model pics of old cars in scenes from a guy who posted a bunch of his work on Flickr.
I'm sure it's the same guy you are talking about!!

It was the inspiration for him to try this with my truck! But instead, make real life look like a model.

Just to expand on my thought above, it would be interesting to take some real life pictures like yours and duplicate them (subject, angle and light wise) with the models and see how close they are!

It all has to do with depth of field. Since this is a truck forum and not a photo forum, I don't want to bore you with the details, but it can be done two ways. In Photoshop or, as in the old days, with a "tilt-shift" lens. Tilt-shift lenses are designed for architecture and landscape photography to keep lines (as in a tall building) parallel and increase depth-of-field (overall sharpness of the image). But, they can also be used to create the opposite effect, narrowing the depth-of-field to a very limited area in the image, as accomplished here.

Okay, I'm stopping now. Anyway, that's a cool shot.
