I have one of those lens balls that were trendy for a short time a couple of years ago. You can do some very interesting landscapes and other shots with them. I left mine outside on the garden table a few nights ago hoping for a hoar frost one morning and a couple of days ago we had something close to that. So, I got a few shots of the glass ball encrusted with glistening crystalline water.
I was hoping to get a shot of it from above and clambered up on a garden chair to look down on it. Unfortunately, the chair bashed against the table in my clumsiness and set the ball rolling. I caught it just in time before it rolled off the table and didn’t drop the camera either. Amazing. But, of course, I’d smudged all the frost on the ball so my perfect shot was precluded. I made the best of it and at least one of the snaps I got gave it an otherworldly look…almost like an icy exoplanet…
