Forced Perspective
As you see i liked your car perspective
And i tried sharp focus vs soft blur here to make this castle seem like a toy
Or a different kind of distortion to make my old garden the centre of my world
Though the official description of forced perspective seems to be - Forced perspective is a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera

I don't have any images but this guy does . . .
I might have a go at some of this.
The last time I did it, I was using toy soldiers and a film camera (in the days when they were the only kind . . . !)
I think it's fair to say that your shot (the first one, above) is strictly speaking, a close up rather than forced perspective.

Somewhat like some of the media photographers did at Bournemouth and other beaches in the summer, using a long lens from one end to compress the perspective and give the impression that there was zero social distancing - whereas drone photos taken from offshore at similar times showed that people/groups were actually very well spaced apart.

Thank you, they are brilliant! Now where can I get my hands on some toys!!!

'Tilt - shift?'
This was one of my efforts. I cannot remember exactly how I did it. The main problem is taking it through the thick green glass of the Spinnaker Tower window and the reflections.

I wish, sadly just post processing.

There is a 'Tilt-shift' option in the PS Blur Gallery which can work quite well.
Back in the days of CS2, I stumbled upon a tutorial explaining how to produce tilt-shift-a-like images.
I don't think I've used it since!

There are also quite a lot on YouTube which use all the latest additions in PS, but can be adapted to any software.
