The latest advert from Nikon features a
photographer shooting images of a glass ball which then reflects the environment around and through it.
The featured photographer Andrius Aleksandravičius got the idea to use the glass ball after taking apart a kaleidoscope and seeing how the glass ball in the bottom gave a unique view.

It certainly is a fascinating and different way to capture an image and if you do not happen to have a glass ball to hand why not try other options - a Mirror of any size can be placed within any shot and angled to produce a relocation of whatever you wish. A frame can also prove effective in err 'framing' your subject.

You could also shoot a subject through a window but use the window frame as part of the image.
If you want to try out the glass ball effect then suitable glass balls are readily available on eBay. from about £10 upwards - the larger the ball the more difficult they are to make and the more expensive they become.
