I suppose two shots, without and with, would be best but it's hard to remember, I get distracted by what's around me :)Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-78006775030689678982012-12-22T00:25:09.314-07:002012-12-22T00:25:09.314-07:00Yes, scale was definitely needed.
I find this ver...Yes, scale was definitely needed.<br /><br />I find this very difficult when taking pictures. Objects make everything very much clearer and comprehensible - but they also tend to spoil the artistry. I set out with a clear ruler when I was taking photos for a recent fungi post but it kept falling off logs and I ended up forgetting it and lost it in the woods.<br /><br />Thank you for this blog. Sometimes it goes over my head but I always value it. It's specially interesting for me because I live right by fossils and soft rocks from which ancient structures (mostly bivalves and the remains of Portland Screws) are always emerging. Rarely do I know what they are - and rarely can tell the difference between a prehistoric 'worm' or its burrow or a bit of hard rock. But, despite your knowledge and my lack of it, I always feel a sense of 'home' when I visit, despite being in places right across the world.<br /><br />Best wishes for Christmas and 2013.<br /><br />LucyLucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.com
