Huge debate on if its real or an RC or a Model

What do you think? Look very close I can see 2 things that make me think its real....

top loading rocs or boggers for an rc car.

top loading rocs or boggers for an rc car.

They have them for sure, I have held a pair in my hands. The body would be very hard to get for an RC they dont make a late gen yota as far as I know.

I already solved it over there, here are my pictures

Real truck with a fake look.

in that first pic you can see a person in the back ground next to the trees that kind of gives you a size comparison....

The thing that really made me think it was real is in the second picture the corner of the bumper is missing, you can see the wiring hanging down for the turn signal, it has the little plastic clip on it that hooks on inside the bumper....dead give away...........for a toyota guy

Most of the higher end kits have your drag link and tie rod behind the front axel.

I vote real. I think the photographer touched it up, or used filters to obtain the look that makes you want to say it looks wierd.

It's almost like they had the goal of shooting the real truck to make it look like an RC.

Wow, big link, You can go here to see how a very shallow abrupt depth of field can make anything look like it's a miniature. It helps if it's a bird's-eye-view shot as well.

The thing that makes it look fake are the gay ridiculous stacks. How the hell does the hood open?

 

[jdub]

They don't look right either they probably photoshopped those in too.

This is a quote that I did on the site a few weeks ago explainin how I think the hood opens.... "Picture this as a cutaway view of the hood, cutting right down the center of the smokestack. And for anyone who says oh well that couldn't work the exhaust gases would just stay in the engine compartment.. or whatever.. this is just my idea of how I would do it if I decided to affix the smokestacks to the hood. I'm sure you could figure out a way to help make sure the exhaust gases go out the top if you put some thought into it."

If he did then he did a good job.. in the first picture in the link you can see the "heat waves" coming out of the top....

Search flickr for "tiltshift" and take a look at the photos that come up. Should help you figure it out

I would say you are right. This is how most of the hoods work on heavy equipment. A large stack is bolted to the hood with a smaller stack inside bolted to the manifold.

I would say the tie vote should sway now.

Here, make it easier for you. It's a photographic/focus trick that your head is playing on you.
Many examples here http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tiltshift&z=t
Can be done using a tilt shift lens, or using PS to manipulate the focus.
Very cool effect and I want a TS lens BAD!!
