"If we magnified our successes as much as we magnify our disappointments we’d all be much happier." -Abraham Lincoln
Experimenting time! .. I wanted to create something like this for ages, thank you Christine for modelling and Joel for the magnifying glass :)
Placed a magnifying glass in front of this unfolding battle. Took a while to get the focus right but I think it captures enough. Not a 'pretty' image but something like it is probably going on in your house right now!
Shot for ODC The theme is magnify. My magnification comes from the words of Aldous Huxley. "Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting." I am working on ways to enhance the community I spend a great deal of time in. I think I will develop this one for our library as an 8 X 10.

Maroubra Beach
Maroubra, New South Wales
I am always at awe at the beautiful Sydney coastline, with its white sandy beaches and rugged rocky cliffs. It is little wonder why Sydneysiders would flock to the beach at anytime of the day. When you look out at the vast open turbulent ocean, all of one's troubles or concerns seems to shrink in complexity and size. Some even becoming insignificant. It humbles us.
With that, I strongly encourage everyone to leave their comforts of their armchair and fully embrace the sun, sand and surf at your local beaches! Also, feel free to leave a comment on what does a day at the beach means to you :)

i know, the magnifying glass thing has been overdone, but atleast i shot this when i was twenty, shortly after the magnifying glass was invented (titters from the back row). and i do love how there's nothing beyond the rim of the glass, but a little hair. and i can also tell you the eye this is magnifying is sitting in front of one of the most unique brains i've ever encountered. so there you have it. more in my "bigger is better" series (as it turns out).

eek! i'm running 2 computers at the moment, trying to get the new one loaded up with all the software I need... it's very confusing with 2 keyboards, 2 mice, 2 monitors and a graphics tablet to boot! every time i go to write something on the new pc, i end up using the wrong keyboard and it takes me a sec to remember why nothing is apprearing on my screen!
anyway, i've had this magnifying glass for ages, just waiting for the right challenge to come along!

A very small moth - highly magnified - appears to be covered in miniscule feathers. It has a huge black eye !
I found a magnifying glass in the office today, so I played around with it a bit. I'm not 100% satisfied with the way this turned out, so I'll have to try it again sometime with a better setup.
Anyway, the book is The Invention of Air by Steven Johnson.
For those of you not into this...Lightning McQueen is the name of the Car. He was the star of the Cars Movie.
The young boys all love it.

Glasses and book still life.
Strobist: I lit this shot using a flash in a small softbox camera left, with a small white reflector close to the flower. The yellow light came from camera right, shot through a rectangle cut into a black card.
I blended two images together in photoshop to get focus on the word magnify.
Earlier this week I posted a picture of the plants in our diningroom window and thought I’d show you a cool thing. The screen on that window developed a hole (don’t remember why) and when casting around for solutions to repair, I found this butterfly. It is a clear sticky patch and two magnets (one for inside and one for outside), so it covers the hole and stays in place. Cool- huh? Some creative problem solvers out there!
