Was talking to someone a few days ago about the fake minitures pictures that you can create using photoshop and so had an evening of creating "miniture" photos and here are some of the results.....

How do you do that then?

I've just got my first dgid cam and aquired photoshop 7 (I think) but I'm a numpty so far.

Some of those, particularly the canal/train ones, are SERIOUSLY impressive!

The station (Waverley?) is great. And the ice hockey.

very good!! I tried my hand at this the first time around, none of mine were half as impressive as those!

Is it just a case of bluring the outer edges to change the depth of field ?

I believe so..

Just found a tutorial for doing it.

How to create miniature sets in Photoshop | Ralph dot FM

Very impressed with those.

It's a case of applying a graduated filter over the picture..... The filter graduating to nothing across the section of picture you want in focus. You then make the filter use lens blur..... Which then makes the image look like it's a close up of a miniture and the camera can only focus on a small section of it.

My personal favourites are the ice hockey, Ladybower dam outlet & Waverley station.

If I understand the effect correctly, you are trying to give a very narrow depth of field like a close up, fast macro lens and then saturating the colours to give it a plastic look??

I like the pictures by the way:thumbup:
