Magnify Markers

Macro Monday's and the theme of "EDC".

 

I don't usually leave home with anything more than my keys phone and wallet but for the five days a week that I go to work these two Sharpie pens and magnifying glass are with me. The other two days they generally stay in the car anyway.

 

In my work at Royal Mail the pens are used to mark labels to make sure I don't scan a container more than once. The magnifying glass comes in handy as some return addresses are printed in a very small font and also can be quite faint.

 

Composing the image was a bit of a headache as initially I had hoped to use the magnifying glass to make the tips of the pens seem larger and highlight some distortion but the pens were blurred when I focussed on the magnifying glass body so in the end I changed composition for this one.
