      @Jett129 I was looking on the lenseball site and they have 3 sizes listed.  Is there one better than the other or one that you recommend?  Kinda surprised that they don’t cost more (in a good way).  Did you buy the mount for it?

        I bought all 3 sizes and have only,occasionally,used 2 at a time.Haven’t found much use for the Mini one yet,and the only one that my assistant/wife can hold is the middle sized one,and she gets tired holding that one as they are surprisingly heavy. I bought the mounts/stands and have rarely used them. One thing you have to be careful of is if the sun hits the Lensball at a certain angle while someone is holding it,it gets really hot really quick. Had my wife wear a glove,so that I don’t have to pay attention to her skin tone when editing.

          Really great. Love denim Macro photography,which I had never seen before Iron Heart. Keep at it. I think there  might be an IH Macro Photography thread which I contributed to years ago. I’ll look around. @weftyarn I found it and tagged you. Maybe we can resurrect it. Called Macro shots of Iron Heart Gear.

          Awesome!! Another thread I can go full spam mode on 😂
          Great shots there…

          Also, great lens ball work again, @Jett129

          Use it or lose it.

            Long time no post… Was on a business trip for a few days. I love to take out the camera when switching trains and waiting by the platform. Theres something aesthetic about train stations and the people moving in them.

            I wanted to travel light so I chose the 35mm 1.4 7Artisans over my “heavy” 23mm 1.4…

            // Bremen

            // Osnabrück

            // Bielefeld

            Use it or lose it.

                        Great shot, James. I quite like it! I see what you did there. Having something blurred in the foreground is something I also do from time to time.

                        While I like the stand in the bottom right, that doesn't interfere with the subjects (only with the white background),
                        my eyes have a little bit of a problem with the red top right object interfering with the blue of the jeans.

                        Did you shoot it from an angle purposely?

                        The only thing I would try is moving just a tad left and tilting the cam to the right so it aligns with the lines on the floor and looks perfectly perpendicular to the wall. 😉
                        That should also do the trick to separate the red from the blue in the top right.

                        Use it or lose it.

                                  I’m a big fan of reflective photography,also love the puddle reflection shot you did. Only/best way to learn is to take pictures,and you’ll see what work’s/doesn’t work and what is pleasing to your eyes. Over time you’ll develop a style of photography that’s unique to you. Keep at it.

                                        Thanks @ROman 👍 got to get some pictures of my other boys and my wife now lol ..
                                        @weftyarn what do you do with all the pictures you like you’ve taken?
                                        I don’t want to upload them to a computer or USB do you think it’s a good idea to make a new Instagram page ( private) and upload them there?
