Through the looking glass by mittens

Through the looking glass

I've always wanted to try taking pictures through a glass ball. This is the top off of a small decanter I have so thought I would try with this. I still want to get an actual glass ball that is a little bigger than this one.
Anyway, I didn't think this was too bad for a first try. I held this in one hand and had the camera in the other hand. I need a better way to set this up.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Gorgeous reflections, love the sunburst that you caught. Looks like a crystal ball. Awesome.

Wow, Marilyn, this is fabulous. I still need to give it a go!

Excellent Marilyn, it's the same if you focused on a drop of water.
but you need a tripod to focus on the drop of water.

Nicely done.

Very well done. And a great sun flare.

turned out great! I got a glass ball a few weeks ago. It is hard to balance on your hands and at arm's length to shoot the pic....So this decanter has a "handle" that makes it easier. nice!
