industrial' call me a nut but i would spend money, otherwise more wisely spent on the homeless (animals), on that racer model. i'll never own the real deal- nor deserve to.

oh, I'm not saying that model is worth the money, 800 bucks is ridiculous, I'd pay maybe $50 for it...
I just want one for christmas.

i wonder what the photographer did to make those bikes look like toys.

lighting and focus sure, but what lens?

My cousin is an amateur photog, and he did a similar technique. I can't link from flickr to here, so I'll link to there.

It's called Tilt-shift. You can use a tilt-shift lens, a lens with very shallow depth of field, blurring in Photoshop, or some combination. In those photos, I think it was just the use of a shallow depth of field to bring the subject into focus.

I want one of these. I hope they're reasonably priced when they reach the US.

DollarBill · « **Reply #2386 on:** July 15, 2009, 11:39:13 AM »

I'd like one too but at $39,000 I don't think I will be getting one. On the Wakan website it lists 28000 Euro as the price.... The intake on top of the tank makes me drool. It's like a blower sticking out of the hood of an old muscle car. SWEET!!

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #2387 on:** July 15, 2009, 04:23:20 PM »

That intake looks cool but it would have me in a race crouch permanently, my beard would get sucked right in......

That technique is called "Tilt shift photography"

It can always be used with video, which I always found very cool!

But I dont think the pictures of the bike are necessarily tilt shift'ed. Just precise use of over head flashes.

[youtube=425,350]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube]

Oh yeah, bikes...

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #2390 on:** July 15, 2009, 08:16:34 PM »

I've been researching all that tilt shift and overhead flash use. very interesting

Shenanigans · « **Reply #2391 on:** July 15, 2009, 08:20:23 PM »

Opps, didnt see that rivetslag already named it.

Looks photoshopped to me. Look inside the rear wheel. That's either a really good adaptation job or fake.

Nice catch. Yeah it looks like you can see the grass and the other side of the stock rim.
