New Technique Challenge 85

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

I'm so happy and honoured to host a new edition of this challenge!
Thank you so much to all those who voted for me... This win has been a nice surprise and the right push to continue to shot!

I'm really grateful to the 365 project that has given to me the opportunity to grow as a amateur photographer and to learn more about the photographic techniques and, last but not the least, to meet such a wonderful community!

I finally decided to go with the crystal ball refraction techniques that I have never tried, but find amazing!
As Ann @olivetreeann has suggested to me, all those who don't have a crystal ball, may use an alternative item (like a glass filled with water) as a substitute.
For those who, like me, want to own a crystal ball: it is easily available on line...

For some tips about this technique look here:

This challenge runs from 09/06/2018 to 07/07/2018. Only photos taken during that time frame will be eligible. Voting will take place shortly thereafter.

Oh, fun. Now to see if I can use my crystal ball in the summer without setting anything on fire! LOL!

[Debs Stott]

Oh I do love taking shots with my crystal ball. I shall see if I can find anything that works... when they work they work, when they don't they are rubbish!

@frappa77 Okay, I have seen so many lovely pristine images with crystal ball, I thought it was time I bought one! It arrived in the post this morning and this is my first play with it, inspired by your challenge idea. A selfie in a crystal ball just for fun!
