Bacon Lettuce Photo

by Joe

Not entirely sure what the actual name of this technique is but for now I’m calling it “miniaturizing.”

Take a photo and using some Photoshop tricks you can trick your eyes into thinking that they’re looking at a model of an actual full sized image.

Take these two images for example:

Before

After

Here is how it’s done:

We had a “Today’s Bacon” where someone miniaturized a football stadium.

I think what made me take this photo, was the influence of having seen so many inside shots of old passenger trains, and old busses. Stepping inside this vintage car, my camera automatically lifted for the shot. I did have a vision of using HDR, but I was too lazy to set for multiple images. Since I was shooting in RAW format, I knew I could produce a descent HDR anyway; at least in the style that I enjoy creating.
The image was processed with Photomatix single RAW HDR conversion, with somewhat exaggerated settings. Then processed in Adobe Photoshop CS3, where Neatimage was used to reduce noise, and a texture layer was added to enhance the feel of depth and color.

Allen has definitely shown how someone can use HDR’s to make photos look like paintings or masterpiece works of art. Here’s another image of his that caught my eye.
