Interacting with the Sky

Creating a forced-perspective photo involves playing with scale by moving larger objects into the background and smaller subjects into the foreground. For instance, you can position your hand to appear as if it is holding a distant landmark like the Eiffel Tower. Adjusting your camera's aperture or f-stop settings changes which areas of the image are in focus, such as blurring the background. Finally, you can crop out unimportant or distracting sections of the image afterward to capture the viewer's attention.
