Amazing, cheers..

It looks like a lot of work with an average result. It's hard to tell from the pics what it actually turned out like. What was it for? Any ideas?

The site doesn't appear to be forthcoming with what underlies his inspiration, but you can find more of the guy's work over here.

His Bio page does explain a bit; it all started with a spilled tin of paprika

Bung his name into your favourite search engine; there's a quite a bit of info out there
http://petapixel.com/2012/10/19/a-behind-the-scenes-glimpse-of-matthew-albaneses-magical-miniature-worlds/ is worth a look.

Mine does, very occasionally it make me look like a good photographer

Really, really like those
Definite inspiration for a rainy day - I've tried some miniature landscapes before, but never anything on that scale.

So that's where all the photos on TP come from then

My camera NEVER lies.... It always lets me know how bad I am at photography... But I still enjoy it... I'm just looking for the one good image - just one - so I can post it up on here, and be proud of it.

Lot of work gone into those....but personally not keen. Lightning doesn't look realistic at all (to me), and also the water doesn't 'look' right. Nice lighting though.
