Wouldn’t you like to have Paris in the palm of your hand?

I made this fake miniature Paris in post-processing using this photo.

        I have never been but I am really looking forward to it one day. Paula made it seem surreal ! (Which I guess it can be )

            I plan on it Paula hopefully sooner than later. Is the tower really SO BIG or is it the perspective in your photo?

  3. Good morning to you Paula and what a great surprise to wake up to a fake miniature Paris! The photo you based it on is very nice, but I must admit that I prefer this one. I think that you master this technique perfectly and the result really makes it look like it’s a miniature version of this large city.

    1. Good morning Cardinal :D. Isn’t it lovely to read you first thing in the morning 🙂 I appreciate your flattering comment, as I know you are the man of truth :D. This was my 3rd try only – they all happened within two hours when I decided to try something new. Have a great Thursday and once again thank you so much for the stunning Jerusalem gallery 🙂

    1. Dear Jo, I was amazed with my newly discovered talent too ;). Seriously, not often do I do something that I am satisfied with, and here I felt pretty cool about myself. I found a tutorial online how to use gradual blurring to create this fake model effect. It is a whole new world out there and I am about to discover it 🙂 Your entry is such a wonderful surprise – still reading about haunted castle 😀

  8. Hi Paula, very well executed and like Sreejith said, love that you put the focus on the houses in front and not the Eiffel tower!
    Have a great day, greetings, Ron.

    1. Thank you kindly Deb. I can’t agree more- those huge cruise ships should be banned from highly touristic places. Venice is sinking as it is. They don’t need these monsters around.
