Little Things Amuse Little Minds ...

The last post about the 'little people' brought about a conversation about photography with a friend and somehow to the point that the Sony NEX 5N had the 'miniaturisation' effect. Somehow I missed it.
What a world of fun this effect is, it creates a vertical or horizontal focal band within the image and around it, it slightly blurs the image. It also adds some colour intensity which helps create these really colour rich and striking images with a really clear focal point which draws the eye while lengthening the image to create a really nice effect. Like the world is miniaturised.


Can't wait to explore this a little more and get a few more shots away.

Little People

  

If you have a little time in your day, this is a great photo-blog to visit.


Really interesting images and clever use of perspective and scale. The blog features cityscapes and brings them to life by mixing in some miniature people in contrasting situations to create such a great story from an otherwise typically cold and gritty street view.


I really like idea of reversing the perspective through the images. So often we are used to zooming into detail and becoming aware of the smallest part of a larger image. This blog and the images show the story from the miniaturisation, as the focal point in the first frame and slowly rendering a larger viewpoint and giving the story within them a slight feeling of departure.


Great work by Slinkachu, one of my favourite photographic blogs.
