So, a couple of months ago I purchased this from Amazon and it finally arrived.

So last weekend Mi Jung and I went to Hyochang park to see what kind of pictures we could take with it.

I took about 5 pictures with "The Orb" There are the two best photo's out of 12 photo's that I shot.

I am not quite sure what I will be using "The Orb" for in the future, but the change for experimentation does hold promise. The problem with beginning one experiment with a different photography style is that inevitably you find yourself buying more equipment. In this case I felt that a Macro Lens may be better suited for taking pictures through the ball. So I have ordered the Canon EF 100mm f2.8 (Non L) Macro Lens). Mi Jung enjoys taking pictures of flowers as well so this might be a good way of getting her more interested in Photographer.

Of the 3 lens' that I tried, the 16-35 f2.8L, 50mm f1.2L, and 80mm f1.8 USM, I felt the 80mm produces the best results.

With the 3 day weekend coming up I will be trying to get some more "Orb" photo's.
Stay tuned for a blog article in the future as well.
