Miniature World - 07/21/2013

I got a chance to try a Lumix DMC-ZS25 that is a newer model of my Lumix.  It comes w/ Creative mode that takes pictures in Miniature.  This feature is so cool and is all done in camera. I decided to take some pics of the Golf Course near by.  I waited for a Sunday so there'd be more golf carts in view.  They came out really cute, just like those you see in a toy train set.

Pics with people don't look as cute so I did have to do some photoshopping to remove a golfer.

I'm not sure what the technique is, but to shoot correctly, you need to keep the subject you want in the focus point, otherwise, it'll come out blurry.

This kinda reminds me of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood...

Then I decided to try the swimming pool below.. 

Some car lot near by.. It was great fun.. As long as I get to play with that camera, I'll try and look for more miniaturized opportunities.
