Magic Mysterio has looked into his crystal ball and predicted this thread some twenty years ago.
PS., He said he saw one with a hole below the ball holder, to allow light to be passed upwards and be reflected within the Orb. Did not leave an example.

LOL. Of course I assume that the displayed shots are for illustration and you might actually zoom in on the ball to eliminate the holder.
Yes, you can zoom in or out as desired for the shot you want. Some type of holder has to be used and I prefer this over a hand wrapped around the ball. The only other option is to throw the ball in the air, take the picture as it falls and catch it before it hits the ground. I will need to order a large supply of balls before I try that. I can just see myself missing the first hundred or so. LOL

Thanks for looking. I am not qualified to give photography suggestions but maybe this will give others some ideas for creativity.

I have used my crystal ball on a tripod and hand held the camera. It worked well, as I can put the tripod at any height it will go.
That is a very interesting picture.

Necessity is the Mother Of Invention. And don't forget a patent keep the Mother's children safe, warm and prosperous at home. Once you have a patent you can market it to a photo accessories manufacturer. No sense in letting a great idea go to waste.

I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE!!

Thanks but I am retired and that sounds like work and "work" is a four letter word.

When it's not holding a crystal ball, you could use it as a shot glass!
That may help to hold it steady up to the point that you can't hold it at all. Thanks for looking.
