About the Image(s)

Taken with my Canon R5. 24-70mm lens. ISO 100, 6sec, f/22
Had another play with lights and a glass ball. Four "finger lights" attached to a piece of wood. The BG was a piece of black mount board and the base is black glass. Then I just kept moving the lights and trying different moves. Felt this one was the best.
Taken into PS and cropped. Using levels I made the BG completely black and also moved the middle slider to get more out of the colours. The reflection of the ball was a little dark so I used the lasso and a large feather to bring the colours out more. Cropped out the paper clip I had used as a base to stop the ball rolling. Finally I flattened the image and sharpened it in high poass.

As usual, very creative. I like that you "play" with things and make them look attractive.
The background and base being black allows the viewer to focus on all the colours. The reflection of the ball is really well done.   Posted: 04/01/2025 01:20:43
