My Living Room in a Crystal Ball

Saturday Self-Challenge: Circle(s)

Since this challenge was about anything circular, I thought it would be a great time to buy one of these glass balls and photograph pictures with it. It's a bit more challenging than I thought it would be. I will be having a lot of fun with this new toy! Two other photos are in the notes.

Effectivement , c'est un vrai défi de photographier une sphère et les reflets !! et c'est réussi .. une préférence pour la photo principale et le 2eme PIP
Le monochrome apporte plus de mystère

Try experimenting with it lit from the bottom (something like a fairy light) in complete darkness, you could also try moving the light around it (light painting) have fun it's very time consuming !!
