HT1282 - Radically Altering Scale

I've always been fascinated with the way that photography radically alters the scale of a subject. We routinely make landscapes that reduce thousands of acres it into an 8x10" print. Lots of pictures are closer to real life scale. But other than pictures of flowers, I rarely see images that radically increase scale. The first photograph I ever sold was a 16x20" print made of a mushroom that was about an inch tall.
