Has anybody seen the August issue of National Geographic Magazine with the article titled, "Home No More," that is photographed by David Burnett with a Speed Graphic? All of the images have a unique look to them that give me the impression that I'm looking at a miniature set of toys or something. I was wondering how and why the pictures look like this.
I went to the National Geographic website and checked out additional photos by David, and the camera info was spelled out (http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/n.../gallery1.html). On pretty much all of the photos, he's wide open, anywhere between f/2.5 and f/4 using either an Ektar 7" or Ernostar 5". So I'm wondering if these photos have this 'toy look' because he's shooting wide open? Or is it more because of the lenses he's using? Also, do you think he's using any sort of tilts/swings as well to really alter the depth of field and perspective?
