    50" was fine for me, reckon 100" is a bit overkill ;)

    You need to bang the master saturation up a bit, and have a play in Curves too.

    A bit like this (ripped the pic from here, so wasn`t high-res enough for full effect.);

    Nicely taken McStu.:thumbup:

    Out of focus is the best way to look at a Vauxhall Cavalier, if you have to see it at all!:lol:

    I thought this thread was about somebody making a miniature New York model out of sand, but it is just a series of CCTV clips, and badly focused at that.[:s]

    I have some good photos I took when I was at the top of the World Trade Center Towers looking down at the streets below. All the yellow cabs were like tiny dots it was so far up. Fortunately the day I was there I did not get any close ups of any planes!

    You are joking right?

    To me it makes the video look like someone has made a stop motion movie of a whole tiny model city come alive.....
