Model Church by David Gee
September 09, 2006 by Vurdlak
Dave Gee sent in one of his cool photo creations. Obviously he took inspiration from Model World by Olivio Barbieri post. Here is what David wrote: "Hi, love the website. Here is a picture I made of a church inspired by ‘Model World by Olivo Barbieri’ which you put up last month. I just got an image from the web and added blur to the foreground and background and here it is. Please feel free to post it if you think it is worthy." If you didn't read his explanation, would you be able to detect that it is photo of a real world, instead of little church model? Be sinceere :)

The picture is very nice, I really like toy and miniatures photography (see http://kzoc.blogspot.com/2006/08/toy-hot-rods.html fore some of my own) but the most clear hint that this is a model is the depth of field setting.
The fact of the houses nearby being so blurred gives a clear idea of the size of the model. That wouldn't have happened if you were in the real size scale.
I would try again with the aperture set to a very high f/ value and probably with the aid of a tripod.

No pepole,no cars,no life. That makes me sad. :(
yeah? how is this an illusion?
yippie, no humans or cars! Minnatures are a little scary, but this is a good first effort!
the image is neat but the shadow is not right. the lighting makes it look like a model, definitely not to be confused with a real photo. cool idea though.
you didn't understand...
it is a real church, but looks like model :)
you guys DO know that this is NOT a model right?
It's kinda cute in the picture, but I'm sure in real life it would be huge. My whole block could probably fit in that church.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a picture of an actual church that the contributer has added a few effects to make it seem as if it's a picture of a model, yes? If that in fact is the case, it's a convincing illusion!
cool! Wierd though... in a way i just can't place... :(
Great effect! By adding an obsurd amount of focal blur, it gives the impression that the object in the picture is actually really small! Amazing work.
Yes it is acually a real aerial photo that has been blurred to look like a model. I masked the spire from blurring so it was not affected by the blur and stays sharp to the top of the image.
cool...you kow if there was only 5 people in the world they would someday run pout of food in many years cus they cant make the food anymore. its kinda sad really
=^.^=
PS so many people dide today..how many more will go?
then make babies, not food. by the time they're about to run out they'd have more ppl! lol
yay i'm smart =/
that was totally random though
this was made by shift-lens
those lens make that effect. (-:
it is all the truth about it.
k ,where is the illusion?? This is an optical illusion site, not an art site.
I do like it though, btw.
I don't really understand how I know that its a miniature model of a church. It looks really good, and very well detailed, but for some reason the church looks like it would be smaller than my index finger..
:S
I wonder why that is...
its a very very nice model though
