"Forced perspective is a technique which manipulates human perception by employing optical illusion to make objects appear larger, smaller, farther, or closer than they really are. By viewing the correlation between scaled objects and the vantage point of the camera or spectator, human visual perception becomes altered."

This little guy is flying high...or, is he?  For a two-year-old, he was swinging high, but by me laying on the ground under the swing and shooting up, I was able to amplify the vastness of the sky and make it appear like he was soaring with the birds.

Creating forced perspective images can fun.  To make objects look to be on a bigger scale than their environment, place them closer to the camera lens; smaller, place them farther away.  It is also helpful to use a wide-angle lens and a more closed aperture (f16).
