In 2005, I found the largest Ink Cap Mushrooms I had ever seen. After capturing some images of them, I decided to place my coffee cup on the ground beside them to show just how big they were:



Then, in 2007, after a mini tornado touched down on a soccer field, I spotted this huge tree that had been blown over. To show its size, I hung my backpack from what was left of the trunk:



What have you done to give perspective of the size of your subject, and prove, once and for all, that size does matter?

Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

Great examples of using objects of familiar size to show the scale of your image. This is why people are often used in landscapes or tiny dogs photographed in a tea cup.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
