  1. Cool effect. I will have to try that. Went out on my first “Lensball” shoot this week. It’s harder than it looks to get good results. >grin< Some of my images appeared to have reflections of the clouds that showed up in the foreground on a partly cloudy day. They looked like smudges or streaks in the image, but since getting the ball, I've never actually touched it. I always pick it up by the cloth it came with.
    On the bright side, Luminar's erase function made the "smudges" disappear easily.

    1. I had the same issue the other day with quite dark conditions but oddly bright clouds reflecting off the lensball. I’m still very much learing what works & what doesn’t. I do know that dark objects as the subject does lead to a greater susceptibility of lighter objects hiding the subject; I was photographing a sunflower the other day, the dark interior became a perfect mirror on the surface of the lensball, keep an eye out for the post πŸ˜ƒ

Great to hear your thoughts πŸ˜ƒ
