What if, we  wonder, we were that big or that small? Then along came mass produced cameras,  and easy as eating a cake that says “EAT ME”, the more adroit shooters among us  were able to realise just such size-shifting exploits – or at least the illusion  of having done so. Places around the globe provide backdrops for these fine  examples of forced perspective. Size is everything – or nothing: Salar de Uyuni<img src="http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/45047/2492688650105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/govmilliken/1602865516/" target="_blank">abmiller99</a> Bolivia’s Salar De Uyuni is a particularly conducive environment for  photographers keen to test out their perspective-bending skills. The vast,  expansive landscapes of the world’s largest salt plains have few features to  shatter the illusion of big objects appearing small or small objects big. Scots bonsai: Carrot Hill, Scotland<img src="http://inlinethumb22.webshots.com/44309/2149655330105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuant63/3068931690/" target="_blank">stuant63</a> Taken in the Angus area of Scotland, this photo shows that with an isolated  tree, a bit of imagination, and no little skill, you can pull the wool over the  eyes of human perception. It’s all about the way scaled objects are made to  relate to one another and the viewer’s vantage point. Gobbling a hot dog: Kennedy Space Center <img src="http://inlinethumb44.webshots.com/44843/2602235680105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/toastforbrekkie/234615767/" target="_blank">toastforbrekkie</a> This next pic could be construed as being be a little on the lewd side, but  that’s up to you. The Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral, Florida is the  launch pad for the visual gag. It’s a good job Space Shuttle Discovery’s STS-121  Mission to the International Space Station wasn’t launched when the photo was  taken. This could be painful: Cape Canaveral<img src="http://inlinethumb28.webshots.com/43099/2331299510105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lorenia/3464878271/" target="_blank">Lorenia</a> What is it about Kennedy Space Centre and high jinks with forced perspective?  The flat background broken only by the instruments of space launches obviously  inspires some people. This photo of a guy doing a good impersonation of a  cheerleader even made it onto Japanese TV. Who’d have thought it? We are not amused: Peggy’s Cove<img src="http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/44627/2760430600105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigerzeye/169345435/" target="_blank">lifecreations</a> Nova Scotia’s Peggy’s Cove provides the setting for this next addition to our  list. This small rural community is nevertheless a busy tourist attraction, and  its classic red-and-white lighthouse is major focal point for visitors carrying  cameras. Believe it or not, it’s almost 15 metres (50 ft) high. Think big, be big: The Eiffel Tower<img src="http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/3097/2763810580105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sutekidane/1197168132/" target="_blank">~Thanh</a> This touching shot makes aiming for the top not such a fanciful dream after  all. The most famous landmark on the Parisian landscape is the perfect prop to  make this little girl seem like a giant standing some 324 m (1,063 ft) tall. The  low camera angle and large depth of field do the rest of the work. Just hangin’ around: Perito Moreno<img src="http://inlinethumb41.webshots.com/22760/2946349580105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexandrend/3702387938/" target="_blank">Alexandre  Duarte</a> This shot was taken at the Perito Moreno glacier in the Argentine region of  Patagonia. The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation is an important tourist  attraction, and the sheets of frozen fresh water clearly offer ample opportunity  for a little playfulness with visual perspective. Blowing off some steam: Old Faithful<img src="http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/42143/2964682000105101600S600x600Q85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photo:  <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/toastforbrekkie/866114974/" target="_blank">toastforbrekkie</a> This is one instance where you might safely accuse the subject of the photo  of being full of hot air – except of course that it’s Old Faithful,  Yellowstone’s most famous geyser, producing the steam for this gigantic breath.  The creative snapping of nature’s geothermal force delivers a cool result.<a href="http://www.moillusions.com/wp-content/uploads/i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb234/vurdlak8/illusions/illusionofsex.jpg" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.moillusions.com/wp-content/uploads/i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb234/vurdlak8/illusions/illusionofsex.jpg" target="_blank"></a>IF YOU LIKE MY POST PLS ADD REP + <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:%20leoHighlightsIFrameClose%28%29;" target="_blank">        </a>                                                                                      </blockquote>
