My first attempt at shooting with a crystal ball

Yes, I've seen that done before as well. I'll have to try to put one of the images in PS and experiment.

Very cool. Could be a cheap "fish-eye" lens if you crop tight. Though I like the entire image as is for most of you photographs there.
I would imagine manual focus? And some experimenting with F-stops?

Yes, manual focus on most. Many shot at f/4. A few at f/16. Thanks for checking them out.

Well done but I wish you would have flipped them
I'm going to try to put one or two in FS and see if I can flipped just the image in the globe. Should be a nice effect. Thanks

My son sent me a crystal ball to experiment with new shooting effects. This was shot in St. Petersburg at The Don CeSar Hotel. I was pleased with the results especially with the sunsets. Still not sure which is my favorite. Shot with Nikon D-850, 70-200 2.8.
Well done Rob

Nice. I've got a set of balls andp I've only used the large mm one. Still experimenting but haven't found the combination I like yet. I like yours and especially the one where there's a red Corona visible. Thanks

I saw a lot of ads for these in my different social media platforms. Very nice results.
