An attempt at faking a tilt shift minature shot

[gredawarha]

Hello all

A couple of months ack I got the opportunity to walk out to the HIndhead Tunnel in Hampshire, UK. For those that don't know the tunnel was built and opened last year. The tunnel bypasses a local village and solves a major bottle neck on the Porstmouth to London Road network.

I fond a spot that I thought would make a good place to take a shot of the South portal and convert it so that it looked like a minature model.

I would appreciate any comments and criticism

I thought it was a model and I was wondering what scale until I read your story. You have captured shallow depth of field you would get if it was a model scene, trhe lighting is how a model scene would be lit - higher contrast.

Hi Stephen

Thank you for your coments. To be fair to everyone who reads this a lot of the shallow depth of field was done in photoshop as I dont have a tilt shift lens.
