Bucket List Photo #1

OK, so I got a new toy in the mail the other day and tried it out yesterday on our trip into SouthBank.

So can I count this as *2* Bucket List Photos because it has both the crystal ball AND the railway tracks?

P.S. I put a number of orb shots from yesterday up on my facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.167656876689914.34132.162596267195975&type=1).

love that shot!

[Sharon Addison]

nice, really like this...how can you take a photo with one hand tho? Did someone else hold the ball for you ???

[Rachel Withey]

This is very cool

[Peter de Graaff]

Very nice pespective

[Aaron]

Absolutely, I think you've killed two birds with one stone (or with one glass ball); well done!

[Ron Correia]

Really love the composition! The way you lined everything up in the reflection is fantastic.

[Disha Parekh]

This is great! The lines are perfect and so is the composition. Very well done.

[Allison]

I need one of those things! So cool!

[Monika]

I have the same question as @sharonaddison, I cant hold the sphere and focus the photo (auto focusses on the wrong thing), how do you do it?
I'm jealous of your little sphere....mine is too big.

[Dana]

Love this !! I definitely have to get me one of these.

[Sue Wilde]

This is gorgeous. Where did you get it? Love the railway

@marybz @sharonaddison @rachelwithey @peterdegraaff @grizzlysghost @kannafoot @dishaparekh176 @snippets @monika64 @danacarruthers
Thanks all. I have to use AF as my eyesight is not reliable, and luckily, my AF works on this 4cm ball when I hold it out in front.

[Amanda Thepanda]

..and @queenslandrail - this is at South Brisbane Station.

[Amanda Thepanda]

@swilde thanks Sue. I got the balls via e-bay. There were 3 and I think I'll be needing the two spares for insurance the way I have nearly dropped this sucker in just one day of playing with it.

[Mags]

Very cool capture with your ball! I love the tracks and the waiting people!

[Angus]

Awesome Capture!!!

[lorihiro]

F&F for me! You are on fire Amanda! You go girl! :-)

[Jennifer Ruge]

Very nice! What a great spot to use your new toy.

[Alicia]

Ooh I want one!

[Paul Myers]

This is one of the better ones of this type I've seen. Your DoF really is fabulous so you can't see that the background image is upside down. Well done.

[Livia]

Looks really cool! Beautiful perspective and DOF.

[Mick Porter]

That's great, I love the way only the orb content is in focus.

[michelle mcintyre]

Nice shot - like how only the image in the ball is focused!!!

[samantha]

Nice! pretty cool perspective =)

[Aleksandra]

Well done Amanda! This is a brilliant shot! Did you end up selling the other 2 orbs? This inspires me to get one!

[Sheila]

Fun, fun, fun!!

[Lisa]

Very cool

[Anne ❀]

what a great start to your new toy collection of shots ;-)

[Abby]

I think it counts for both... Great perspective! :D

[CK]

Very cool perspective - great shot

[Phil]

Brilliant - the focus is just perfect! Well done - cracking shot (thankfully not literally!)

[Lora G]

What a great reflection!

[lil Buddha]

Very cool! Love the track in the ball.

[Kathy A]

Fabulous shot, I really must get myself a crystal ball.
