From a trip to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, UK.
Tried the in-camera tilt shift app. Fairly good needed a bit of editing as the colour was very poor. Nice effect though. I have a few more.

Today's fake tilt-shift is of Røros.
Røros is a copper mining town and those are slag heaps in the foreground.
For those interested in learning more about this simple technique there are two tutorials at the Miniature Sunday pool. You are all welcome to come and have a try once a week just for fun!
Today’s theme is the letter M. I tried to create a dramatic lighting scene of this miniature figurine which is 1 1/2 inches high. My goal was to hide the base of the figurine to make it look more realistic. Toy photography is a fun challenge to try and make inanimate objects more interesting. HMM!
Some miniatures I have made out of cardboard cereal and granola bar boxes based on homes i've photographed over the years!
Macro Mondays 'low key' theme.
A miniature pewter jug for the theme.
Off camera flash through a short home made snoot, at 1/32 power, held close to subject from the left.
This part of the jug measures 2.25" (including the handle)
Funny how this little rose bush has kept a good percentage of its leaves. I don't think it looks too happy nearly buried in the snow though! The bush is several years old and has never kept the leaves like this before.....Interesting nature!

I used to paint miniatures some years ago - usually inspired from old sepia 'visitor's' calling cards. I have a little collection of them still.
I tried a light and a dark vignette on the image but felt it was best left as it was. I also tried cropping it, but in the end preferred the space around it.
I don't very often take photographs like these but I noticed how pretty the Aquilegia flowers are this year.
Pic 1 & 3 are Aquilegia (Columbine,Granny's Bonnet)
Pic 2 is a miniature posy with Aquilegia, Mexican Flea Bane and Chive Flower

Lying in their area near the road in Armstrong, B. C. where my sister lives.
We walked past them every day and I took a couple pics... we couldn't get close to the fence because there was a big ditch in the way full of water, mosquitoes, weeds and, well, who knows what. They did come to the fence...but, all we could do was talk to them from many yards away. Very short and quite chubby...
and, they seemed lonely......

Originally built by my father and mother in law and given to me. I have re-painted and added many new things. Scale is 1:12. One inch equals one foot. More pics to follow (gradually) of the other rooms and the exterior, which has an attached greenhouse. My mother in law called the greenhouse Cathy's Flower Shop.

Miniature world under the trees... hard shot to do, to get`s the fully beauty of it, due to the darkness of that place...
The Miniature Railroad’s story began in 1919 with a man named Charles Bowdish of Brookville, PA. Originally a holiday display on the second floor of his house, it moved to the Buhl Planetarium in 1954, and ultimately found its final home at Carnegie Science Center in 1992.
Scale 1:12. No wrapping paper leftover is too small when wrapping miniature "presents". The red and white garland is a paperclip bent with needle-nose pliers. The tree is made from the tips of Leyland cypress branches.
A distant view of the city of Melbourne and surrounding areas from the east. You can just make out the light towers (very mini!) of the Melbourne Cricket Ground where the sunset is at its lightest.

My parents bought this miniature gnome (less than 1" high) the year I was born. It is the only remaining member of what I remember as quite a large set. There was a time when it was a holiday decoration; now it lives all year in my kitchen.

Spatter Cones is one of the miniature volcanoes in Craters of The Moon in Idaho, USA.
These "miniature" volcanoes form during the final stages of a fissure type eruption. As gases escape and pressure is released, the lava becomes thick and pasty. When these sticky globs of lava plop to the surface, they pile up to form spatter cones.
