I was curious to see what would happen if I took shots of various objects through this crystal ball. This one turned out the best … it’s an antique bed warmer, and you can see the ‘subject’ of the shot in the shadowy shape behind the crystal ball, right side up. But the image is inverted inside the ball! Fun experiment in distortion.

This is one seriously cool shot! Kuddos on coming up with the idea to shoot the image in your crystal ball – that’s a very creative mind you’ve got clicking!

Thanks, Colline. The antique bedwarmer was distorted inside the crystal ball as well as inverted. It was a fun experiment.
