It doesn't take much skill... just CS2, really.

The process takes all of 5 minutes and that's IF you fuck around with the color balancing and the curves of the photo.

I do like both the before and after shots, but the first just looks more "real". The after shot looks like its a miniature. Not sure if that's what you were going for.

of course that's what I'm going for.
the before shot, was just a quick shot.
learned of a nifty technique over the weekend and tried it out.
I love it.
makes everything look so tiny, like models. It's great!

lol... thanks man.

I'm going to go out eventually and get some farm-type scenes. Or a bigger train yard or something.

This works really well for pictures with a large Z-Axis and shot from above. Makes everything look so fun.
