Unrealism

[RylstonLight]

We often wax lyrical over model photographs that are taken in such away that they look just like the real thing.

But how about examples of the opposite: reality that somehow looks like a model?

This is a 1:1 scale garden arch in Bressingham Gardens; but doesn't just look like a very good garden line with the rails just out of sight?

The gardens are beautiful but the steam museum is just amazing!
Well worth a visit.

I saw this effect on a group on Facebook, the actual photo was of the engine shed at the Threlkeld Quarry Railway, but it looked like a model. Can't explain it personally, photography can both an art and a science, and extremely complex.

I believe it is called tilt shift photography, I've got no idea how it is done
A good one of the swanage railway:

or one of the snowdon mountain railway looking as if you could just pick it up!

Blimey. Tilt shift. Who´d have guessed. Wonder if it´s easier than trying to get a model look like the real thing ....

I did a few like that on cars but after doing it a few times its pretty easy effect to do and a few dslr cameras have a setting that will do this for you..
I used to live near bressingham many years ago(A village called hinderclay which is a few miles from there) A big reason for me getting into narrow gauge railway was the nursery line and the garden line they have in place of the princess line..
