Thank you Andy...>I received 'Lensball' for Christmas and have been trying to figure out how to use it....what you shared makes a LOT of sense. I will be trying a few of your suggestions for sure. Very helpful image.
@@AndyHornbyPhotos Hey Andy, thanks for helping make sense of what the hell is going on. For me it was like getting off a roller coaster for the first couple of weeks - no bearings whatsoever. Your stuff is inspiring!
always wanted to try it with a glassball, but never had really the chance yet! thanks for sharing this great content with us really enjoyed watching this
Thanks for the advice. I prefer not seeing the background in my photos as I find it distracts from the image in the ball. I therefore get as close as I can to the ball and then crop the final image ( unfortunately fingers are often unavoidable!). What do you think? Of course sometimes the background should be included but I suppose one should take each scene as it comes.
I got mine on Amazon recently and it cost me about £15. I am experimenting each day on the type of shots I think will work and look good. I found this video very intuitive.
Love the glassball work, well all your work to be honest, top tips, great shots, I learn a lot from you, just wish I was closer to your location, you would be fed up of me lol
Hallo Andy...like your films....have just start to use a lensball...what lens do you think its best to start with..any favorite distance between camera and ball ? i know its much practic ? i have a Canon 24mm...2,8 . Canon 50mm..1,8....Canon 24-70 4 IS . USM....Canon 18-135 IS...Sigma 17-70 2,8 -4,5....Canon 70-200 4 IS USM.....and my favorite lens Sigma 18-35 . 1,8....
Thanx for the video. Ik just got a ball and learn by RUclips how to use it. Tomorrow evening I am going for a practice on the job to the Amsterdam Light Festival. I will use your advices but I missed one thing. That are the settings of your camera when you make a photo in the evening with the ball in your hand, specially shutter time and iso? I also have an other question. For someone who has another language as a native language you speak very fast en sometimes hard to understand. Please adjust your speaking tot non English language people.
Hi. Thanks for your comment and for watching. I can't give you the settings you will need, because every situation is going to be different. If you are going to hold the ball, you will need a fairly fast stutter speed. So you will also require a high ISO. Good luck
if your doing a video about how not to do things, it is always a good idea to have examples. you put a lot of images up that you consider to be done right, but you should have had some deliberately done badly to show what you are talking about as well.
These are excellent tips, i'm sure. But you moving around distracted me to the point that I cannot recall the 4 "Don't s"! It would have been a great vid if you had been stationary, less distraction.
that was awesome...thank you. You my friend, got yourself a subscriber. Cheers.
Nice. Thanks for watching and sticking around. 👍😉
Fantastic video and LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot at the end! Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Appreciate your comments

Thanks for watching. The sigma 18 35 is a great lens and should be fine for Lensball photography. Keep up the great work.
@@AndyHornbyPhotos ....txs...keep going
Hi Andy, would you suggest a size for the ball? Thx.
Hi - there are many different sizes. I have the 100mm
Thank you so much Andy. Will get one the same size too. So excited!!!
Glad I could help
Hi
Whats the best way to spin the image using photoshop or elements - don't have lightroom?
Hi Raymond - either should be fine. Go to the Edit tab and rotate 180* - Thanks for wathcing

Hope you don't mind me asking but do you have a link to those lights you wrapped around your wrist - Thank you
Hi Steve they are just normal Christmas twinkly lights.
@@AndyHornbyPhotos - Battery operated ??
@@stevegauldphotography yep. Simples
if your doing a video about how not to do things, it is always a good idea to have examples. you put a lot of images up that you consider to be done right, but you should have had some deliberately done badly to show what you are talking about as well.
Thanks for watching Alex. I'll consider this for future videos.
How do you get the picture in the right side inside the ball instead of the inverted side?
Use Photoshop to turn it around. Thanks for watching.
Do you always shoot at F10 in Landscape Photography?
Thanks for watching. I start at around F10, so that everything is in focus.
These are excellent tips, i'm sure. But you moving around distracted me to the point that I cannot recall the 4
"Don't s"! It would have been a great vid if you had been stationary, less distraction.
Thanks for the feedback George. And for watching.
Why don't you flip the glass ball image 180 degrees?
Thanks for watching. Its a personal taste. I have done this some times. But not for this image. 😉
Take a shot everytime he says glass ball and you’d get alcohol poisoning l
Well of you can't take your drink! Best not play the game.
Thanks for watching this "Glass Ball" photography video 😎😉
1 ST mistake , dropped the ball on concrete 5 minutes after using it for first time .Ruined
No way mate. Keep shooting. Hope it works out for you if you get another one.
