I have mentioned in a previous post that I am taking a photography course (hobby type) at the local community college to get back in taking photographs. The instructor has a penchant for reflections and "shooting through". Since it was raining I decided to keep my photography indoors and chose this paperweight for my subject. The colored items you see behind are from a weighted decoration for the balloons from my birthday. I did shoot through them but wasn't as pleased with the results as I was using it as part of the background.

Just as an FYI the eagle in the glass is not a sharp object. I did check focus both manually and with Auto focus.

This was taken with my Nikon D810, f3.5, 1/6 second, ISO 100. The camera was on a tripod and I used a shutter release cable to minimize camera shake.

All comments, critiques and suggestions are welcome. I learn from what others see.

Thank you, tommystrat!!! I appreciate your comments. The lighting is the overhead LED bulbs in the room's light fixture.
