A couple of shots playing around with a glass ball.

Cool! I recently bought a glass ball. About 6 or 8" diameter. A smaller ball would have been better, but I'll make due with it. Haven't done any photos with it yet.

Thanks tracs101! I hope you have fun with it. It takes a bit of trial and error. Finding something to put it on (to avoid scratching) is important, then just go for it! There are lots of examples of the kinds of things that work available on the net. I look forward to seeing some of your results.

Really neat.
Thanks NMGal! It's a bit of a niche style, but fun to play with now and then.

Those are cool! I got 3 two inch glass balls a while back and haven't really done anything with them yet. You are an inspiration to try some things out.

I don't usually like "glass ball" pics but these are beautiful! Your eye and composition have a lot to do with it - keep it going!

Thanks NikonJohn! Do give yours a try and show us the results; it helps to have an assistant on hand, but you can get by without.

Excuse me, is that glass ball half full or half empty??
