Garden Railway Forum

We often wax lyrical over model photographs that are taken in such away that they look just like the real thing.

But how about examples of the opposite: reality that somehow looks like a model?

This is a 1:1 scale garden arch in Bressingham Gardens; but doesn't just look like a very good garden line with the rails just out of sight?

The gardens are beautiful but the steam museum is just amazing!
Well worth a visit.

I saw this effect on a group on Facebook, the actual photo was of the engine shed at the Threlkeld Quarry Railway, but it looked like a model. Can't explain it personally, photography can both an art and a science, and extremely complex.

I believe it is called tilt shift photography, I've got no idea how it is done
A good one of the swanage railway:

or one of the snowdon mountain railway looking as if you could just pick it up!

Blimey. Tilt shift. Who´d have guessed. Wonder if it´s easier than trying to get a model look like the real thing ....

I did a few like that on cars but after doing it a few times its pretty easy effect to do and a few dslr cameras have a setting that will do this for you..
I used to live near bressingham many years ago(A village called hinderclay which is a few miles from there) A big reason for me getting into narrow gauge railway was the nursery line and the garden line they have in place of the princess line..
