My photo of the week 22 (Toytown)

I was a guest at the Lord Mayor's Show in London on Saturday. This is a rather fun technique - foreground and background are blurred to render a minature effect, like this Matchbox toy bus. Yes, it is a real bus

Nice picture. Just wondering if you've added some additional blurring at the postprocessing. Looks like bottom parts of the wheels are more blurred and also the hand is sharper than other objects that are at the same distance from the camera.

Just the camera preset. The blur mask runs horizontally and the fence and bus are at an angle, which is why it's not precise. I could do better myself in post but it's just a fun snap.
