Window Cleaners - Photo by Stephen DesRoches

Window Cleaners

All of the displays at Miniature World where behind glass. This of course requires someone to keep it clean. photo uploaded on September 23, 2008 11:52AM
Incredible...this looks so real:-)

This is quite the shot and I wonder just how high up they are, and from the floor this was taken from. I really like the depth of field, even still the effect is rather a dizzy feeling.

Well bluechameleon: This is actually a very miniature model and the entire thing is about 3 feet tall. I was only standing on a bench and those little guys are smaller then your thumbnail.

Nice shot....aint's easy but very well done here. Like sherri says...allmost real.

Can you tell us what the miniture model is representing?

Ilger: This was part of a giant Circus display. It's really hard to see anything other then the city buildings in the photo but I think that's fine since the entire subject is the glass cleaners.

At some point, I may post additional photos from this display.

This miniature is incredibly good!

at first I thought you've used a tilt/shift lens or some photoshopskills to get this effect.

Nicely done ! I really have the feeling that I'm watching down while standing on a real high building (not that good, since I'm scared of heights, but nice to feel that with looking at a picture).
