Friday, April 16th, 2010The article is titled “35 Splendid Examples of Forced Perspective Photography”, but few if any of them are truly splendid. Still, contractually obligated to link to it.
Teller enjoys forced perspective (the technique)
Monday, September 14th, 2009The thinking person’s favorite magician picks up Notre Dame. Teller’s patribiography also includes an FP photo.

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009A video of a forced perspective mechanism devised by Adelbert Ames. Likely to make your head hurt, I found it helpful to focus on the pipe to see that the whole contraption is simply rotating.
Website plug with bonus FP

I can only hope it's really difficult
Thursday, August 3rd, 2006So many of the Flickr images tagged with forced perspective are so very unconvincing that it makes me want to make better images. Most common problem: insufficient depth of field, leaving things in unmatched focus. Another dead giveaway: uneven lighting.
I suspect the only cameras I have available have inadequate control over aperture to create convincing illusions.
