Very nice photos....i'm partial to red!! A little too much artificial bokeh for me though, especially with such a great background. I played with that Bokeh plug in for a while, but just couldn't justify buying it. If it ever goes on sale, I'd pick it up.

Almost looks like the artificial tilt-shift effect.

It looks like they are 1/18 scale models. Cool effect.

I have an order going to the lab tomorrow and will print a couple of little 8X10's just to see how it prints.

Nice effect.

So many times TR comes out way to orange in pictures. That drives me nuts. I like the color in these.

[QUOTE=PTBradford;1575019367]Cheated on the DOF. The DOF is created with Alien Skin Bokeh pluging using setting Canon EF 85 f1.2 Wish I had a lense that creamy.

Both shot at f5.6 on a fixed 4.5 lens on tripod and off camera flash.

I moved from a 40D to a 5D MKII. Loved my 40D. I know the 85 1.2 is insanely expensive, have you looked at the 85 1.8? Very affordable at about $380.

Nice pics. The red actually looks like red. Cool effects.

The front and rear wheels spin independently and often times at different speeds from each other and no matter how many times you rotate your wheels they will always be off front to back.

I shoot the ***** of of my mid grade APS-C SLR's. I have a 7D on order and about to spend some more cash on glass and video accessories. I would like the 5DMKII and thought about it very seriously. It's an awesome camera and i would love the full frame. I like some of the video features on the 7D and the integrated IR flash. Most of my flash is off camera. I shoot video and stills for High School Cheer, Dance (someone has to do it) and Baseball. Been doing it for the past years on top of the rest of my photography. This year I want to offer HD.

I think I'll do that in photoshop before I print. Much easier that way.

Love the miniature effect!!

It's ironic -- for years photographers and film makers have been striving to make miniatures look full size -- this does just the opposite. Intriguing!
