This is the Church of Santo Domingo at the Plaza de Armas in the city of Cusco in southeastern Peru. I was digging through my photos in Lightroom when I came upon this shot of the plaza. I immediately thought, “how cool would this be if I created an effect that would make it seem that we’re all looking at a miniature city. This effect was produced in post production. Typically I would use my tilt shift lens for this but of course, the TS lens is never in my travel bag. I only reserve the TS for architectural shots but seeing some creative tilt shift photography coming out of the woodworks, I figured I would give it a try as a post effect.
What do you think? Can I convince you to think that what you’re seeing is a miniature version of the Plaza de Armas?
WOW, that is from a photograph?
It looks like a scaled site model.
Rikki that is too cool for school.
Thanks Ces. It was fun creating this image. I’m planning of creating more images like these just for fun too. I’ll be posting them soon. Thanks for the comment!
