It's almost as if a model has been made. See picture at: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3374/3195636178_baac315b46_o.jpg If you'd like to learn more about the technique, read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_miniature_faking Amusing effects can be done to stop-frame films like here: World Magazine - Mardi GrasWorld Magazine - Mardi Gras Collection of Tiltshift cars and trains And you can do it to your own photos here: http://tiltshiftmaker.com/ Go on - try a few on some of your miniature shots and post them here. Best ones are those that have a long depth of field and main content in the centre.

	Your train is cancelled due to the lack of the tea can on the footplate. This is what happens when teamwork occurs!

I think a large field of depth ('f' number for those who have the slightest idea how to operate a camera) helps create the illusion better... ... I'll try some of mine later... ... Cheers, Dom Greenop
