Not the usual forced perspective, but I did enjoy it.

The 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.

The thinking person’s favorite magician picks up Notre Dame. Teller’s patribiography also includes an FP photo.

Richard Wiseman posted a link to this relatively convincing forced perspective photo.

Hungering for more forced perspective?

As you might expect, there’s a Flickr pool.
I mention this in part because Google seems to have decided we’re evil, and I’m hoping to persuade their algorithms otherwise by getting back to our roots.

A 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.

It's been a while since we've had any FP here

So 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.

Some of these forced perspective photos of cars are good, though very few of them make any attempt to sustain the illusion.
