Beautiful. I am actually currently buying a sphere myself. Do you have any tips or good brands that I should look into. One I am looking into is Long Sheng 40mm

Location
This photo was taken in a beautiful park in Creve Coure, MO.Time
The sun was setting as I found this tree that just fascinated me.Lighting
The sun was setting on a gorgeous chilly day.Equipment
I used my Nikon D3500 and a piece of fabric covering my hand as it held the ball.Inspiration
I was feeling lost around that time. My partner bought me this crystal ball and we decided to head outside and see what I could capture with it. When I found this tree and took the photo, I was thinking about how lonely I felt and how upside down my world was at the time. That day really gave me a chance to reset.Editing
I made the photo black and white, but that's it.In my camera bag
I always have my Nikon D500, my assortment of lenses, my flash and my battery packs!Feedback
Feel the moment. Push yourself to go out and capture something, even when you can think of a million reasons why you should just stay home and marinate in your grief, pain, etc. It can be incredibly cathartic to get out there and express yourself.
