For those of you who really appreciate photograhy, I introduce to you..."Fake model photography". I stumbled upon this site yesterday and this technique really fascinates me. I'd love to try this out once I get more into photography and get a real camera.

Yes, all of these photos are of real, full-size structures. The photographer is named Olivo Barbieriand and he uses a a special “tilt shift lens” from a helicopter to create the illusion that the structures and scenery are little, detailed models. He obviously also uses Photoshop blur methods and changes the colors to make it look more as if it's built from polystyrene and lichen.
