Sometimes you might get bored with the same photos. So, you can try this method, KEE friends, with a glass ball. The glass ball makes the photo look like you are using a fish eye lens even though you are using a telephoto lens. Some things you need to pay attention to:
- Choose an object that is usually photographed using a wide angle lens
- Take photos with the sun behind you (the photographer).
- Make sure the lines on the ball are neat, not slanted
- Find the point of interest in the photo and make sure the camera focuses on the ball
Some tips you can try:
1. Use classic compositions
Composition where the ball looks full and focused. The ball immediately becomes the main focus because the area around it is blurry. You can use a macro or telephoto lens with an aperture of f/4 to get the bokeh effect.

2. Get closer to the ball
You can focus and highlight objects reflected in the ball. You can crop most of the ball in your photo to get more detailed objects.
3. Give the ball more space
You can make the ball part of the composition in your photo. The object on the ball will appear upside down and will form a balanced composition combined with the background composition behind it.
4. Shooting from a height
You can try taking photos from a height. You can look for a good angle to maximize your photo results through the reflection of the ball that reflects the top of a building or object. Don't forget to always be careful.
5. Take photos from below
You can take photos from below, for example photographing buildings with the camera positioned from below the ball. Apart from that, you can also put the ball on the ground and get a puddle reflection effect.
6. Involve humans in the photo
If you want to experiment, you can add human elements to your photo, for example a hand holding a glass ball that reflects the scene in front of it so that your photo doesn't look monotonous.
