Further adventures of the iBALL

Hey again everyone!
I had posted some of these a couple weeks back. I got my initial idea from a suggestion on the Digital Photography School website to try using a glass ball to create some refraction images. This was a lot of fun, for sure. I used some of my usual photographic PC software tricks with Corel PhotoPaint in creating the 'image structures', and Adobe Lightroom 6 to add tone & other enhancements. I created all of these shots using a 3" glass ball ordered online, and came up with these final images. I shot with a Nikon D750 & 12-24mm Sigma lens. I held the ball in my fingers and shot the basic ball closeup, and then I took the background image normally, superimposing the ball over it in interesting ways. The final results turned out to be visually eye-catching (I decided to nickname my finals "iBALL" images!) Sorry about some repeats here, but I thought I'd put out all of my latest shots here in one inclusive grouping. Hope other Hoggers give this technique a try.. it's a blast to play around with, and you never can tell what you might come up with on your own!

What a fun way to present photos. Great job. My favorites are #3 and #8. But I really like them all.
I think I'm going to order a crystal ball right now.
