Day 292 of 365

Balls

Few people would be surprised to know that I own a crystal ball. I've had it for years and it's been part of my meditation space.

It's beautiful and until my 292nd experience I've never used it as a tool for photography.

Let me start out by sharing that I have a few superficial burns on my hand and the top of my lawn table is melted. Holding a crystal ball in the sun is ridiculously stupid but I did it about 100 times in an attempt to capture the perfect crystal sphere picture.

I have a few amazing photos but my hand is also resting on ice. The table is going to need a little touchup paint.

I started in the back yard and played around with the trees and greenery but the subject was too broad. Since most of the flowers in my yard are weeds I decided to use a vase of colored daisies I received from a friend.

There was a learning curve and I felt like this might turn into a flop of an experience but then the sun hit just right and I couldn't stop.

I filtered the light, changed some angles and suddenly my table was melted.
