BrickCurve Posted September 27, 2014 I was thinking about forced perspective, 15 minutes later... One of the many border guards that patrol the eastern edge of Kaliphlin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted September 27, 2014 I like the build but I don't think you've got the forced perspective quite right. As is, it looks like a rider riding by a rock that has a tiny flag. You have to twiddle with focus and camera placement to capture the illusion of distance and superposition in forced perspective. I'm not much of a photographer but I imagine other GoHers will have some better tips for ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfadas Posted September 27, 2014 It is a good start for FP, I am not a professional, but if you keep trying, you'll get better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Greeble Posted September 27, 2014 I have tried this before, and it's hard to get right the first time! You'll want to put a lot more space between the foreground and the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaevola Posted September 27, 2014 Nice fig. The forced perspective isn't bad, but it's not quite pulled off (the mountain needs to be further back) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted September 27, 2014 Nice fig! I do agree about the fp though. Still better than my attempts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gedren_y Posted September 27, 2014 For some reason most of these images (and some from another of your builds) aren't showing up for me, and none of these are appearing on your flickr page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try re uploading them to flickr because they do seem to have disappeared, it was probably because last night I was sorting out photos and the computer crashed.
