You get a feeling of a lot of depth and distance?

Thank you =]

Answer 1

It's done using a wide angle lens and using a forground element (the flowers) that loom large close to camera but recede far into the distance, a function of the wide angle lens.

Answer 2

Digital enhancements

Fish-eye lens or Photoshop filter (Sphere, I think)

White paint brush on most of horizon for glow effect

Gradient darkening of sky, overlay or mask.

High contrast on ground

Answer 3

slow capturing the longer the lense is open the more detailed it is

Answer 4

Narrow aperture (big F/number.) produces good depth of field.  If you're asking about the sky, effect, I dunno, maybe a contrast filter?

Answer 5

This shot was taken with the lens closed down to the smallest aperature ( e.g. f 22 )  for the greatest depth of field. shorter focal length lenses also have greater depth of field. The composition helped to give the feel of depth. The sky may have been photoshopped ( it has a little of an HDR feel) or it may be the lighting through a polarizer.  

Answer 6

50% less contrast should do it.

Answer 7

well you can get a free photoshop trial download on adobe's website just google that. Here's what you can do. Lower the contrast...how? idk. Or with the part of an image u want bigger just use a selection tool and select that part of the photograph then just make it larger.

Answer 8

Well, it looks like HDRI ( High Dynamic Range Imaging ) to me. To do this, you'll have to take a series of exposures, and complete the construction of the image in Photo-Shop, here's an article about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDRI

HDRI imaging looks really nice in most photographs. A really desired effect in photography. It's a little complicating, but i imagine you can do this. It's obviously a wide angle lens, but i imagine there's some post processing going on here. I read your update. Even if this wasn't HDRI, it still looks processed to me. It could have been a regular photograph, but most likely the colors in the background etc were enhanced in Photoshop

Answer 9

Depth of field is controlled by f/stop

Use a higher f number (such as f/20) to get more depth of field.  You need a tripod especially in low light because the shutter will be open longer.  

Conversely a lower f/number will blur the backgroud.  If you took that same picture at f/1.8 then the background would be blurry.

That photo was not taken with a wide-angle lens.  The FOV is only about 30 degrees.  It was taken on a tripod with a high f/stop and about a 28 mm lens

Answer 10

filter??

Answer 11

use wide angle lens and aperture of like 10

Answer 12

Yes it has been tweaked in Photoshop, but the basis of the photo is that it was taken with a wide angle lens. The photographer moved in close to the nearby flowers to show a reference of scale and depth. Also, a small aperture was set for good depth of field. This is a very good technique to use with a wide angle lens, but NOT with human subjects as facial features will be distorted.

Answer 13

Its called photoshop

Answer 14

photoshop elements 6 has it in the editing with the blue tint in the effects section

Answer 15

Honestly, it's much less of editing and MORE of your photo-taking skills. You have to experiment with the angles you take your photos. In order to take a photo like the one in the link; place the camera near yr tummy, facing slightly upwards. You get what I mean? So then yr photo seems very stretched and never-ending. It's ALL about the angles and for added effect; darken your picture to make it more crisp and solid.

Answer 16

a wide angle lens..... the wider the lens (lower number in mm), the more in focus
