Miniaturized Planes, Trains,......sorry, no Automobiles.

Well, I guess there are a few automobiles, lol. New to this technique, whadya think?

Works better on the train scene. Second one seems to still convey a larger scale to my eyes.

Hey Pat,

That is interesting. I agree with Alan, #1 seems to have that miniature feel more then #2. Perhaps because #2 is too tight of a scene?

[PatGould]

Yeah, I agree. What do think I could've done differently to the second one?

 

[AlanLichty]

Maybe more elevation is needed maybe? You have quite a bit in the first one and it seems to work well but the second one is almost at eye level. Might be a difficult task for an airport.

A little higher elevation on this one:

Hey Pat,

I like this 3rd one a bit more then 2nd. You first one is still the best.

With #2 and 3, I think the issue is you are in too tight. I think being higher does help, but I think with everything so large in the frame, its hard to get that miniature look. Compare #1 which worked perfectly compared to #2 and 3, the main difference is the size of the objects in the shot. If you have any shots similar to #3 but shot wider with the planes and hanger being about 1/4 of the size they are now, I think it would end up looking much more miniature.

The first one especially is great.

Looks like elevation is key here - the third one works much better than #2. The first one is still the best so far.

Thanks everyone. Just finished this one, smaller subjects even though there are more of them.
