These are taken with the objects placed on mirror glass and lit by a flash placed underneath the mirror and bounced back from the backdrop. Colour better in download.

Very well conceived and executed. They’re all well done and attractive with number four the head of the class IMHO.
Edit: I wonder how no 4 would look if all stayed the same bot the glass ball and tee were rotated 180° vertically?

Thanks for your kind words Bruce! The setup belongs to a friend who kindly allowed me to use it.

That's easy! This one was a crystal ball on top of a crooked-stemmed wineglass with a venetian blind background.

That’s a horizontal flip, I was thinking vertical to get some competing angles.
Thanks though.
Edit: hmmmmm, due to gravity, that might not work! Now I hafta think!

Dang, you’re fast at this!
What I was musing on was having the “flat” part of the glass at an opposing angle to the background lines. I think now that would require a reshoot and leaving the glass still and rotating the background.

Fun. Nicely done and pleasing to view.

Very NICE. That is some amazing work.
I'm curious though, could you explain more about how you placed your flash?

Thanks for the positive comment!
The mirror glass is placed on a table or support of some kind. The flash is placed underneath, aimed at the backdrop, and fired by a wired trigger attached to the camera. The camera's pop-up flash is not used. The illumination comes just from the flash bounced off the background - the ambient light is really irrelevant, unless it's very bright, in which case it would require the settings to be adjusted. I think this was about 1/160th, f8, and ISO 200, but I may be out a little.
