To Ed: I set it up by stacking them in a baking pan. Later, I did a set up at the 1.5:1 frame ratio on a custom frame that holds them more closely packed together. Here's one, reduced, but saved at high quality without all the jpeg artifacts above: http://webpages .charter .net/dwarner2/Balls2.jpg (Remove the spaces before the periods to view. I couldn't figure out how to post the URL to the image wihtout having it embedded on this page.

I agree there's something mesmerising about this, I found my eyes wandering all over and around the image repeatedly (and that's the kind of thing migraines are made of!). Very effective though. Phil

Very mesmerizing - was this something you set up, or was it a find? -Ed Hahn

I really like this Doug. I sort of expect a hidden message to spring out at me like one of those 3D pictures you have to stare at. Nice shot.

interesting side patterns in the tiny lighted reflections on each ball. Almost looks like they have checked patterns on them. Neat idea. Ann C
