Park Junction, Philadelphia, PA, 2010.More pixels than are warranted at flickr.com/photos/mattblaze/44#photography

A single railroad track, receding into the distance, in a lonely urban area behind some houses. Almost everything is in soft focus. A railroad milepost, marked "O QA" is in sharp focus at left. There's a hobo-style graffiti tag on the milepost.

@mattblaze @LillyHerself I think this is the technique used to create the sensation that you're looking at a model train sized scene when it's actually human sized. (Matt, you know this stuff far better than I do, so please confirm or correct)

    @mweiss @LillyHerself Yes, indeed. (Though a lot of people simulate it in a photo editing program). To get the simulated miniature effect, you generally shoot from a high vantage point and selectively focus on a a horizontal stripe across the frame.
