Sunset January 1

...through a crystal ball.

Spent most of the day making a dent in the overdue replies and comments I owe most of you! Someone had posted a shot of the sunrise through their ball and I thought, "Maybe I'll do the sunset..." To be honest I did clone out a small portion of Jeff's van as it was distracting. But the solar flare from the sun was all made by the crystal ball.

Perfect! Did you get the migraine headache after doing this crystal ball shot? Every one I tried, I felt like I was going to puke afterwards! Pulled my eyeballs this way and that, but it was worth it to get a good 365 shot! That was the sacrifice I made for you people! hahahahah! Fav' ing this cuz it's worth the Advil! :)))) Miss y'all!'

My thanks to all! And for those who were interested- I got this one on Amazon for around $20 US. They're really quite affordable and offer endless photo opportunities! Go for it- get one!

Did you see a great 2015 from the crystal ball? Got to be.

@yaorenliu Thank you Yao! Ah- yes I did see that there will be many more sunsets and sunrises in 2015!

@pyrrhula Thank you very much Pyrrhula! I am learning a lot and very happy to have a better camera to capture things the way I see them. I think it has helped me to improve my pictures a lot.
