Old Dog Photography

An old (film) dog's odyssey to learn new (digital) tricks


Crystalkeh

December 23rd, 2009 in Images, Night

One of the things I’ve tried to habitually think of is taking shots with my crystal ball. So when I went on the photowalk through the Denver Zoo a few weeks back, I tried it out here and there.

Note to self: steadily hand-holding a crystal ball for long-exposure photography in sub-freezing weather isn’t all that easy. Still, I like this shot that I took with it:

Lots of yummy, colorful bokeh! If you were curious, the subject is the same bush I shot for this image.

    Andy, rian — thanks a mint! If you want to try something like this yourself, just do a quick search on eBay for “clear crystal ball.” Mine’s 60mm in diameter, cost about $25 shipped (straight from China).

    I think I’m going to need a crystal ball now, too. ;-)
