Hidden frog and other stuff

If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.

- Mark Twain -

It's not my job, but I ate a frog once, its legs anyway, when I was in France. It was pretty good to be honest although I'd choose something else over it if I was able to. I ate snails that night too, escargots de bourgogne, at the very legit place called Moulin Rouge in Paris, and I think I'd rather chew my own face off than eat snails ever again. Having said that, life is far too short not to try something new and different and I'm glad I tried those two things which, whilst not my favourite things, certainly were far from the worst foods I've eaten.

Anyway, talking about doing something different, that's what I did today with a few photos.

I was sorting through some Lego and decided to snap a few photographs of it and to try out something a little different which you'll see in the first image and the one below. I'll be working with that orb again soon as I play around with how I'm going to make use of it but I like these two shots initially so decided to include them.

The top image of the frog partially hidden by the orb is my favourite shot, but I like how the orb inverted the Lego house in the image below too. It should be fun to play around with I think and I hope to generate some interesting images.

This session was more about seeing how the Lego would photograph using my lightbox. It was a little difficult as the lightbox just isn't big enough to hold many of my Lego builds, most are twice as big as the lightbox itself, so I'll have to come up with something else, which I didn't have the time to do today. I'm actually thinking of making my own lightbox, a foldable one so I can store it easily but that's a thought in process and will stay that way for a while before it comes a work in process.

Thanks for taking a look and, as always, you're free to comment if you like. Pick out a favourite shot, comment on Lego, give me some ideas on how to make my own lightbox or just say hello, I'll respond in kind.
