Little Dipper

Well, the Big Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk...

I'd forgotten how much fun these are... appreciate the Bi-Weekly Theme. Processed tilt/shift effect here (my attempt to capture the miniaturization with my tilt/shift lens hasn't worked yet...).

It's interesting how our mind processes oof regions in an image.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Michael, this one really captures the essence of the challenge! I know it's a big roller coaster but it sure looks like a miniature! Well done!

Another good one, Michael.:S3:

Quite nice Michael. It looks like a toy roller coaster.

Great job Michael, this looks really convincing! I think I've ridden that one, great old "woodie". :c3:

This turned out great, Michael. Nice work with the miniaturization effect, and good choice for subject matter.

Michael, I like the subject and feel that you did a great job with the effect.

Ken, Cheryl, Andrew, Kerry, Brendan, Denise,

Thanks much... your comments are greatly appreciated. I was actually surprised that this one worked. I had thought that the subject had to be smaller in frame and at a lower perspective. I did use Ken's suggestion from other posts on more blur and punted on the use of a gradient... maybe that helped with the effect.

Cheers,
