Model Cars

Or are they? I was mucking about with a photo I took last December. Look - an HO scale Ken!

With the absence of a tilt & shift lens (v. expensive), or even a LensBaby (cheaper), mucking about in Photoshop will have to do

That picture does look kind of spooky and so do the posable action figures on the left.

Re: Model Cars

You guys have "HO" scale over there in the United Kingdom? I thought everything was metric?

Not everything is metric. There are a few oddities which refuse to die.

Re: Model Cars

Hi Iamfink..None taken...The small group of people you noticed, were huddled together trying to keep warm on a cold and windy afternoon. We had just driven from our Christmas lunch meeet and stopped to take a few pictures for our 2009 xfire calender.
