Amazing vintage car model photographs

[mhiscox]

O.K., let me point out I'm no expert in photography, and I also have no idea if this is worthy of bandwidth, or has been posted here before, or has been posted everywhere before. NEVERTHELESS . . .

I just got this link sent to me and it struck me as pretty freakin' trick.

Turns out that this cool car photo:

is a photograph of very good models using very clever perspective:

The photographer is a gentleman named Michael Paul Smith, and if you go here:

you get a slideshow with about a 100 of this sort of "hard to believe it's not real" shots. And if you go to his main Flickr page:

he graciously discusses the setups and shows his techniques.

As I say, seemed very cool to me . . .

Funny. I first looked at the photos without reading and thought, "How did they get a giant billboard of a guy's head?"

Cool.
