Has anyone tried anything similar to these? It looks like it would be a lot of fun. I think even for wildlife it might work and look awesome.

Wow, neat technique! I haven't seen anything like that but I have seen portraits done of a person in several locations wherebthey are masked or whatever into a single frame so there's 10portraits of someone in a environment
This reminds me of a technique I came across....

Brenizer method to me always makes people look like midgets.

Both interesting. I especially liked the first one, though (on Gizmodo). You're right, it'd be interesting with wildlife... or in a zoo for that matter.

Your reference to the street debate ??? I'm getting old and don't remember much.Street photographers are perverts. They violate people. You know how you can undress people with your eyes so to speak. Well, us, street photographers rape people with our cameras. Old , young, gay , straight, black, white , purple, it don't make a difference to us. We will still rape you.

Street photographers - paparazzi without celebrities.
Street photographers - Internet motivational parodies wouldn't be the same without their unsuspecting candids.
Street photographers - the only people interested in the homeless
Street photographers - the longer the lens the better the up skirts
Street photographers - let someone else call 911 while they help pose the victim.
Street photographers - terrorist on vacationI really wouldn't call this stuff street photography though. Its digital art. You can just download pics off the net and piece them together to get the same effect. Same thing with the Brenizer. Why spend so much time in Photoshop to make your pictures look like medium format? Just get a 6x7 film camera and do it the right way straight out the camera

perfect example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/goodcough/4890000790/in/pool-1121852@N21/I think it's a cool idea, and a great effect, I just think it should be kept far away from photos of people...unless you are trying to do a leprechaun shoot or something.

haha, ok good to know!
I think you just really have to pay attention a few things (not that I would know exactly having never done this, but looking at these samples...)
1)If your subject is farther away, chance of shrinkage increases
2)If there are objects behind your subject or to the side of your subject that normally would look much smaller, shrinkage is almost 100% likely to occur.I wonder what else does it. I think I still like these when not used with people the most. It's too jarring for my brain otherwise.

Isn't it the same thing as making that fake tilt-shift effect? Where you make everything look like miniatures.

Foofie, I think that being too far away from your subject and shooting down on your subject are probably the two biggest factors. Your last sample of the cyclist is a hoot, but if the photographer had dropped the camera about a foot I think it would have looked OK.
I should add, that at 6'2" I have to watch that anyway. Shooting down on your subject is a great way to make enemies and alienate people... Nobody likes looking like a short, squat person.
