The Christmas tree lights twinkled
as the girl stared under the tree
bright shiny gifts propped around the base
like supporting stones
expectations fulfilled ? perhaps – but
there was always something that
santa didn’t deliver – leaving an air of disappointment

The Orb rested on its spot
as in a moment, the image came into view
Images forming – like magic
colours red , green, yellow and blue
captured in a moment
by the little glass ball
“A Snails eye view’

“You are a noisy mollusc….” Dougal the Dog to Brian the Snail – Magic Roundabout
This was a toughie when working on #challenge30, I mean – how do you get a snails eye view ?
You would have to be a snail wouldn’t you?
I let my imaginary snail loose around the house – where he found, in the kitchen, ready to be recycled this glass bottle – with the contents consumed it made a nice mirror for him to look in…(chortle)
Camera engaged for this one, my Sony DSC H300 – Great for close ups like this, the beading on the bottom of the glass look like beads…

Gremlin n. a cause of unexplained malfunction
ever get one of those days when nothing goes right ?
Thursday evening – and i’m going through the snaps i took with the D3100 the other day.
Now take a look, this is how my dear computer judges what my camera thinks my outside lawn looks like. It could be it was fooled by the Manchester weather, and in its defence it was throwing down stairrods when i took the pic. But then again, i have been confined to the house the last few days – thanks to a bug i picked up (don’t worry – the cold remedy has worked)
Now before it throws another strop – here’s evidence for the prosecution – it worked perfectly well when i was doing my black and white shots in the kitchen.
and it liked the pics of the spoons
It even liked the black and white shot i took of the Coffee, Sugar and Tea Jugs
So i’m starting to think – my poor old camera has caught a cold (sic)
Or that the gremlin that lives on my computer (hereby known as the update wizard) has attacked my computers ability to work out colour!
This weeks photography class at BASIC in Salford, involved taking photographs through an object. The scenes were placed behind a Glass Ball and the pictures were shot through the ball.
The images obscured depending on the angle of the shots taken. The Miniature image captured through the sphere a copy of the picture behind it.
Scenes Captured in a Ball – The technique produced some lovely effects
The idea was you didn’t concentrate on the image behind it – just the image in the ball!
The session produced some great pictures, and i really enjoyed creating the images i did with my camera.
