Incredible miniature landscape photography
Posted by dsmith on Sunday, January 31, 2010 8:17 PM

Although the pictures don't involve railroads, here is a link to the most incredible miniature landscape photography I have ever seen. The photos are of old 1930's to 1940's automobiles and many fine miniature buildings. Take a look, you won't regret it! The photos might give many of us ideas about how to integrate cars, buildings and roads into a seamless whole as well as many ideas on how to photograph our own railroads and scenery.

David,

That guy is incredible at how he photographs those beautiful scale model vehicles and buildings, sometimes using natural trees and foliage in the background.

He makes it seem so real, that he must be a miniature movie set designer and decorator.

Thank You, for the great pictures.

How would you like it if this guy was related to you and said "How about if I replicate all of this level of detail on your layout?"  Yup, I am still dreaming as no such talent resides in my family.  Fife has the right idea.....take a daughter and granddaughter and nurture the interest as he is doing with his youngest Princess.
