Description

After reading my morning paper, I casually tossed my reading glasses on the light table next to my chair.

A quick glance amused me as I realized how the glasses had landed on a book I was reading, so of course, grabbed the camera and took a shot. Slight crop and a bit of WB correction is all that was done.

The whole idea of taking a picture of a picture, but with something 3D... could prove interesting! #10494308

Good one Dale! #10494539

It's true, Teresa and Peter. When I tossed them down, that is where they landed and that's what gave me the idea to grab the camera. I did have to slide them to the left about 1/4 inch to make them line up a bit better.

Thanks, Tony. #10494558

Thanks Kristin. By the way everyone, if you want to get really good speed light pix, get the book by the auther that is on the bottom book. #10494827
