A World of Crystal

It's been awhile since I made a new gallery on Flickr. And so I just finished making A World of Crystal. I've been planning on making it for a few days now. It features some of the amazing shots people have taken using crystal balls. I wanted to call it Mirror World, because the images are upside down in the crystal ball (but many of the images in the gallery have been flipped), but that is the name of my Crystal Ball set. And so I settled on "A World of Crystal" instead. This new gallery features 18 shots, all by different photographers.

Crystal Ball!

Lately, I've been admiring pictures other people have taken using a crystal ball. And then I remembered that I have one stashed in my closet! A number of years ago, I bought it from Winnipeg when I was visiting the Forks. It has dragons on it, but I thought it would still create the effect which I wanted. So I dug it out of my closet and went outside to play! I posted two shots which I liked onto Flickr; one I flipped using picnik, and the second I left as it was (the image is upside down). I'm quite pleased with the results, and hope to take more pictures with it soon!
