Crystal Ball - Who's the fairest of them all ?
Was at the buskerfest in Toronto last weekend and got a picture of this performer with an act using crystal balls. I likes the reflection of himself in the ball.
Self comments (not much I could do about these except maybe 3.)
1. The crowds were so heavy that the closest I could get to the performer was maybe 30-40 meters away. Had to fully zoom in at the 250 mm limit of my lens. I was so far away I didn't even see the reflection till I processed it in Lightroom. This crop is probably 1/4 of the original image.
2. It was a very sunny day, harsh shadows. Too far away to use a flash. I did the best I could to bring out the shadows.
3. Not perfectly sharp. I guess I didn't get the focus bang on.
I still think that the picture works. Not a keeper but OK.
