Having Fun With Forced Perspective!

For this project we used the method of forced perspective where I make something or someone appear much bigger or smaller than they typically are. Either the person or object was up really close or far from the camera. To make it much more believable people in the images would either have to look slightly up or down when it came to "interacting" with other people. When it came to "interacting" with the toy they would have to look straight. I also had to manually focus the camera between two objects.

Holding

For this image i had two of my classmates be in my image. I had one sit infront more up close to the camera while the other stood on the concrete ledge. Then i adjusted my camera to align to her hand to make it appear as if shes holding my other classmate. I also remembered to set my camera by formatting my sd card, focused my camera between them both manually, put the iso to 800, the f stop as 36 or 32, centered the meter, and I put the aperture low and tried to focus the camera. I took the image very low on the ground to make it appear as an illusion. I also told my classmate with the headphones on to look slightly down and the other to look kind of shock sort of like she is scared.

Leaf

for the leaf image i formatted my sd card as usual. Then i placed my leaf Infront of my camera then i had my partner to put her hands out as if she was holding the leaf. I then adjusted the leaf to make i appear as if she is holding it.

Lion

i formatted my card. Then I focused the camera between the lion and my partner. It was pretty tricky but took some time to focus the camera. I made the lion be more closer to the camera and snapped the image.

Crocodile

i formatted my sd card. Then i made the crocodile closer to the camera to make it appear bigger than val. I focused the camera between val and the crocodile toy.
