Making Scaled models look real
Hi Everyone
Would anyone know where to start by getting scaled models to look as real as possible in the real world, without using photoshop special effects Many thanks Steve |

If the models are large enough it's possible to keep far enough back that aperture can give enough DOF but I wouldn't expect it to be easy. Careful use of tilted lenses can change the plane of focus and effectively boost your DOF (read up on the Scheimpflug principle - Cambridge in colour cover it fairly well IIRC). Tilt techniques are often used these days for making false minatures, but this wasn't their original use and they can be used to increase DOF. Unfortunately tilt lenses aren't cheap and this option won't be easy either. Software options such as focus stacking & simple cloning between pictures will be easier, but probably all come under the umbrella of Photoshop effects. If you do a good job with photographing it, people may assume it's just photoshopped

thanks for getting back to me, I managed to speak to the original photographer and although he wont tell me how he does these, he did admit that they are heavily Photoshopped. So thats fine with me, least I know and now I need to find a detailed scale model and thats my mission this weekend ha ha :-)
