that's machupichu in Peru. i got the idea to do that from that thread. what a cool idea! pics 1 and 4 are also from Peru.

How did you shoot the third one?

Kinda thought it was Macchu Picchu...wasn't sure though.
check out this thread: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=44017

i just blurred the foreground and background to give the appearance of a shallow depth of focus. it makes you feel like it was taken with a really long lens. the only way you could take that shot with that long a lens would be from miles above or if the subject was a miniature. it kinda tricks your brain.

that was in photoshop. there's a painting filter on the sky and everything else is just a real contrasty B&W.
