Oversized - Photography Contest [13 entries]
Contest goal:
Photograph a situation in which a normal object or objects looks huge compared to the surroundings. The item(s) you photograph may not already be over-sized. The situation itself must look natural and the surrounding must interact with the over-sized looking object(s).
Example: make a person stand on a pile of books by photographing the books closeby and the person far away so it looks that the person is small and standing on top of the books.
Required level: 10+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

MnMCarta: I'm gonna have to play with this cause I can't get both subjects in focus... ( 5 years and 3272 days ago )
EmiK: That's the tricky part =) ( 5 years and 3272 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Thank you for the link EmiK...and yes technically it's called forced perspective if you want to research the topic further... ( 5 years and 3271 days ago )
UncleJimmy: for those of you having trouble getting both object in focus, here is a link that explains hyperfocal distance, or the "trick" of getting nearly everything in the photo into acceptable focus:

MnMCarta: ok so most of that was completely greek to me but I got that they need to be a good distance from the camera for it to work... I think. Gonna try something hopefully today or tomorrow.
