More idle experiments with glass and light - we were given a decorative blown glass sphere some years ago and I decided to try the same technique used on the blue glass bowl in image 35, "New Deep". This one was a bit more challenging due to the small size of the sphere and the fact that the thing is attached to a metal stand - I had to try to hold the light and the sphere in one hand while the other operated the camera. There was some noise in the original shot that bothered me, so I added a layer of frosted glass texture to even things out a touch. I'm pleased with the cloudy interplay of colors here.
