    Not camera equipment as such

    My wife is big on crafting, Beading, Card making, Parchment, to name but 3 of several other crafts. She had left her magnifying glass on the table. I thought, with what I'm looking at here, I can use this. So placing the glass on the coffee table, I lined up the Christmas tree and shot it with no thought of any reflections, lesson 1 learned I can see lots of uses for the glass. The good news for me, is that I have been given the glass as my wife has had a new one with built in light. Hmm, now there's a thought

    A very interesting concept on where to use a magnifying glass as opposed to using them to read small letters on instruction sheets...

    Thank you. I was inspired by a photo I saw, somebody had used a crystal ball to capture the subject. I don't know when I try this again, but it is in my plans for future shots.
