What I used: a Fushigi Ball (used in contact juggling) placed on a polished metal tray, a long exposure, & some camera movement.

not telling your secrets to viewers is a good rule to make a mind boggling image out of the mundane. This is mind boggling still.

Glad I read your notes. I thought it was a glass bottle. Would have never guessed a Fushigi Ball. Had to look it up my self. Nice.

LOL. You made me look up Fushigi Ball. I see the top of a glass coke bottle.

Thank you for sharing what item you used and your camera movement technique - just lovely. One day I would love to have a meditation room filled with yours and Ursula's photos (some others as well but I don't want to put down all their names as I might forget some) so I could just lay back on a comfy lounge and get lost in the beauty and make up stories to my hearts content.

Well, I am with the "bottle brigade" :-). In fact I saw an image during the week and the guy told me it wasn't a landscape, it was in fact a bottle. When I saw this image, the first thing that came to mind was "now I know how he did his image" ... NOT :-) ... Ball or bottle, I like it. Doen't know what colours were involved, but can imagine it may also look stunning is a very saturated colour version (since it is a ball and not a bottle :-))

Appears to be the top of a vase to me too. The eye and mind don't always work to together and you proved that here!

Apparently I have birds on the brain tonight but for whatever reason I see a parrot curled up in the center of the ball. Head (beak and eye) in upper left of circle. Even some wing like lines at left. Iove the tones and I am going to stare at this for a bit now.

I thought it was some sort of bottle or vase, the top part of it. And it is a ball! Wow. I love this one. It has good energy, and looks beautiful.

This is nice, looks like the top of a glass bottle? I like the 'spinning' circle, it holds the interest.

I am wondering what item(s) you used to create so many lovely textures and swirls - beautiful shades covering so much of the b&w spectrum - I see you used quite a long exposure too so you gave this a lot of thought and it shows. I hope you are recovering nicely and am so glad to see it didn't side-line you too much - your photos are a real treat.
