Hiya Deb. The end set up took a while to find. Tried three different locations in the house, various tripod heights, many different ball placements and various shields to block the reflection of the overhead light in the mirror.

lol It was fun, but, I was starting to get frustrated. You'd be surprised how those little apple ball thingies just love to roll around at the slightest adjustment. I would shoot about 10 pictures and then download them to the computer and reject each one. Then it was back to the drawing board for more attempts.

Overall, it took about 2 1/2 hours before it was finally posted. My wife came up with the concept and deserves all the credit. I just took the picture and did the PS stuff.

I thought this image was neat, but then when I found out how you went about getting it I was even more taken with it. Just curious, how long was the process from setup to posting? I'm guessing several hours. ---Deb
