Hot ball

-

Recently my photograph­y buddy bought us both a Lensball to try. I went to Paris for my 25th wedding anniversar­y and took it with me. Hubby and I arrived at the Louvre on a lovely bright day and I decided to use my Lensball to get some interestin­g shots of the pyramid. I set it up on its stand and took my shot. All went well until I went to pick up my Lensball and sensed this incredible heat on my hand. It hadn’t occurred to me that the sun was penetratin­g the Lensball and acting the same way as a magnifiyin­g glass. The ball itself doesn’t get hot, but you do need to watch what you are putting it near so as not to start an accidental fire! Oddy Barber
