Beautiful! Thanks for positive vibes:)
Nice! i just bought the same damn car and came to see if someone has done a video about forced prospective! Thank you!
Very impressed certainly know what you’re doing and certainly know what you’re talking about! #smashing
great stuff
Just stumbled on your photo vid of the Volkswagen bus. Awsome ***
Good video…! Thank you!
Great one this was fun and a nice nod to Kim Leuenberger's style of forced perspective. Love your content great work!
Love the feel of this video. Awesome work!
I'm excited to try this out with the model aircraft I have, especially the amphibious fire plane in my collection
This is my newest idea for a project. Taking miniatures and putting them in front of great landscapes. I didn't even know there was a name for it. Thanks for all the tips.
Great video - really inspiring but I gotta say, that morning light through the hair stole the show - nice grade!
So cool!😁 I'll try this more!! 🤩 Thanks a lot!! 👍
That transition in editing skills got me to subscribe!
Very enjoyable. And intriguing enough for me to get inspired to try a few shots myself. Lucky you for living where you do.
Love this
You're a grace and very creative. Congratulations.
Phenomenal video, you were very engaging and broke down your methods well.... thanks friend
nice location,, wow what incredible landscape and views.
Very pretty... 🥰
It's a fun video. I've got a lot of scale model cars. Thanks for the tips. Quick question, though, wouldn't this be easier with a right-angle viewer?
good photo
I enjoyed that,thanks.
Thanks for this video! It has really inspired me to try my own videos like this!
Nice, thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this video. The presenter is lovely.
Great work amazing
Thank you for inspiration 👍👍❤️ look very cool
Amé tus fotos, son hermosas, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Inspirational.
Optical illusion worked in the beginning, but not in the grass, even when you are at the same level as the grass... I`m curious why you have the ISO so high? Would it not make sense to have the lowest possible ISO, while shooting against the sunrise? Great location for landscape :)
You can either take the pictures on the ground or a custom platform which is hard to find or make
Excellent
Cool video!
How come there aren’t any of these long videos anymore
Model Railroad Shots use a “ Pin Hole Lens “ adapter . You May Wish To Try This . You Are Really Amazing. Thank You.
This is great really enjoyed it hope to try it out sometime Louise too is a lovely presenter
Interested why such a fast shutter 2500 and high ISO 1600?
Wonderful ! Your shot at 3:46 is extremely beautiful with the light showing through the windows of the van. It gives extreme realism along with the wet beach (rock) as you stated in your tutorial. Thank you! Your are an expert photographer and teacher. Cheers Louise !
I subscribed this channel only because of her!:)

Really interesting video. I’m thinking I will try this and ‘age’ the vehicle in post processing - see how realistic I can make the illusion.

Thanks Neil! That's a great idea - let us know how you get on! - Louise
what is the name of your camera and the reference pls thanks
V.cool...I like
How did you edit the first two photos!!!?? What camera did you use ?
Best shot was on the rock…….The grass was way to higher than the van!- Have you considered taking a large pair of scissors?
thx
congratulations
I had little go any more tips
Is this an ad for Dorset ? Too much padding out for me
Great video, very educational. Can you please tell mem what's the scale on that van? Im going to buy one online, but they come in sclaes and it's hard to see it's real size on a screen. Thank you!

Looks like 1/32 scale but I wouldn't get hung up on scales too much as its all about shooting distance. My garden railway is 1/22.5 and I use 1/24 scale vehicles. All about distance and lighting. Experiment.... There are no limits!

Yeah youre welcome
Do you think it is possible to do it with a smartphone?
Inspiring. Have you tried micro lenses? I'm curious as to the difference in detail. Thank you for posting this video.
where you buy this toys??
Canu do forest photo shoot with toy cars??
Old Harry is a local term for the Devil, and the area leading uphill to the South West from the rocks is known as Old Nick's Ground.
I was wondering.. How can one thenslevees pose with a toy car..As a Male model
Skip to 10:00 on
Which lens do you use for this photography

2:45 moron
I just bought some die-cast exotics which I will shoot at 85mm
Personal preference, for me the narrower aperture shots looked better. Good stuff though
Shame the music is so much louder than the talking, had to keep reaching for the volume control. Good video apart from that.
Nah, the grass makes the car look like the toy it is.
A great video Louise but I wish you wouldn´t walk so near to the edge of the cliff!!
Alternatively...use photostacking!
Why the long intro? Skip to 0:54 to ignore the useless fluff, and then again to 2:01.
A 20mm full frame lens is about a the equivalent of a 12mm focal length in a crop sensor camera.
Also alternatively..... use a bean bag!

Hi Geoff, thanks for your comment! As I was using such a shallow DOF in great light I felt I was better off working handheld :) - Louise

OK, thanks..... but I still think a bean bag keeps the camera steady when it's on the ground - with the use of the flip-out LCD (if it had one)
You also need the proper background and foreground to pull that off, those all looked like a toy on the grass
Are you afraid of flash? How are u going to expose for the sky and casually say ur going to fix the cars exposure in PS? Thats stupid cuz you are just gonna introduce noise if u just add flash or bouce light back to the toy you could have a much more dynamic image and really accentuate bothe the toy and the background
Video starts at 2:06.

A few of the shots give away that it’s a toy, and then there’s the fatuous comment about the van looking as it’s off for a sense of adventure, how this conclusion is reached isn’t clear. It’s just wishy washy pretentious bullshit talk.
Louise You Have Made A Very Interesting Video. You Are So Beautiful. Perhaps You Could Film A Mermaid 🧜🏼♀️ On The Rocks With The World 🌎 Beneath Her Feet , Possibly An Alien Landscape. Take Care . ♥️
But isnt this very unreal. See the work on instagram.com/garageworx
Intro is too long.....
Re-name video to "how to shoot landscape and watch sunsets in England". Except from two quick seconds showing the actual car that was shot, this video has nothing to do with toys or models.
At the risk of appearing rude, the real, the pertinent information could have been delivered in a fraction of the time. Do yourself and your audience a favor, get in and get out as quickly as possible. People are looking for information. Respect their time and they will respect you. Chances are your subs will increase as well.
Still looks like a toy
The pics are good but they all look like toy. The forced perspective was not good.
Too much talk
dont look that creative,, i can take same photos in my back yard
