Taking A Pictures Through A Marbles

You don t have to be a kid to go to the area across from moore square in downtown raleigh.

Taking a pictures through a marbles.

And they re really pretty. The ball can also be good for architecture and even portrait photos if you now how to use it properly. I photograph highly reflective glass marbles both in a transparent or clear base glass with a design in the center and opaque white and colored examples with two and three color designs on the surface. 2 marbles are small glass balls great for refraction.

Take pictures downtown at the marbles kids museum. Equipped with the extension tube the lens enables me to get extremely close to the marble and to focus on just what is inside the marble. The effect happens when light passes through an object of denser mass and the light is bent as it goes through. Glares can create a negative effect in a photo especially if the glare covers up the person or object that is the focal point in the image.

Shiny walls mirrors glass and metal are a few of the objects that will reflect light from your flash or from the sun. To get the landscapes in the marble i use a canon xs dslr camera with a 50mm f 1 8 lens and a 13mm opteka extension tube. Reflective objects can create a glare when you take photos. Affordable and search from millions of royalty free images photos and vectors.

When the museum is closed so are its gates. You need to think of the ball as an external fish eye lens. I had alot of success photographing them outdoors in a light tent with just the flash from the camera which i diffused with a dryer cloth.
